:sansa:

did anyone else get Force Awakens flashbacks from that Bolton father/son moment

I really liked the episode. There was nothing that really stuck out to me as being subpar, despite my expectations being low when I saw "Written by Dave Hill" in the opening credits. Jaime still being Cersei's bitchboy at this point of the arc kinda irks me still, but I'm hoping that'll change

minor S6 spoilers	+
with him going to the Riverlands

Ending was exactly what I expected, even just from reading the books, but it was executed pretty well I thought. For a second I thought the Jon warging into Ghost theory was happening the way they kept the focus on Ghost. I assume that was purposeful

Euron's introduction was good. I'm glad they kept the bridge part of Balon's death. I dunno why they got rid of Euron's eyepatch tho. Even though it's kinda a cliche pirate thing, it's kinda a defining characteristic for him

Bran stuff was pretty good, I'm excited for the rest of the flashbacks this season. And I didn't realize how much I missed Hodor until now

Children of the forest still look silly, but not as silly as the Three-Eyed Raven. Would've been cooler if they kept his grotesque look from the books with the tree branches growing through him

This felt like the actual premiere. Ep 1 was like S5's epilogue

I did like that Roose got killed the exact same way that he (helped) kill Robb. But yeah it was a bit anticlimactic. Especially with a character like Ramsay they could've really had him chew the scenery before doing the deed

Curtis @ 2/5/2016 12:16 I just watched Roose's death again and it sucks I hate that they killed Roose and Stannis off with a whimper. Two classic characters from the beginning and both very instrumental at parts of the story. Reminds of Selmy's pointless death I'd be pissed if I was some of these actors (: Yeah, plus Roose would have expected that his bastard would try this shit, maybe not this soon, but still. Not very believable imo.

How could he really avoid it though? If he rebuffed him it would become really obvious he didn't trust him and create a permanent rift

Book Spoilers + Seriously, there are very few things left that you can be spoilt on, but this is something you would definitely prefer not knowing + Is the scene from the epilogue of Dance going to happen? Kevan was the last best chance the Lannisters had of holding things together, and I think it needs to be in the show. Such a great moment too.

Spoiler	+
Spoiler + I think it will, but it doesn't seem like it can be Varys. As much as the show takes liberties with time/distance, Varys going from Mereen to King's Landing that fast would be ridic I have a feeling Littlefinger's gonna do it instead, though it remains to be seen what he's up to currently
