Ah thanks Torro
I suppose there does have to be some reason for that whole story line to have happened. Although Dorne is supposed to be fiercely independent, no? Perhaps that's how they'll sell it though. "Let us through and you'll get to enjoy relative independence".

Nothing left in the show could possibly be as satisfying as this was. You could honestly loop Jon dropping punch after punch and I'd watch it with joy for a good solid five minutes.

This season has seriously gotten me back on board. Last season I was a little iffy but this one has been non stop incredible. I think the show has finally surpassed the books in quality. Well done, HBO.

This season has been fantastic
That was one of the best episode in any TV series I've ever seen. Damn. Such a great build up, nailbiting to the bitter end. For a second I thought
Damn, that was really satisfying.
The way they shot the battle was really brutal and original. Eat your heart out, Hollywood.
we lost Jon again, and Tormund as well. I cried out when Tormund bit a chunk out of Umber's neck.

Last episode was fantastic and the best battle scene I have ever seen on tv. I have to say though I am missing the complex and nuanced political games of the first three seasons. The show has gone in a more traditional direction I hadn't envisaged earlier on. Also while this episode was fantastic, it was also the most predictable in the entire series, but I suppose thats to be expected when the show is nearing its end.
It was such a satisfying release for the viewer. Everybody has been wanting to do that for years.
Could have made it slightly better, with creating an effect of Ramsey's teeth being knocked out/loosened up. Crushed Eyesockets or something. It ends up looking like they just painted his face with red blood.

Johns plot armour was in overdrive in that last ep.
I did find it abit whack that sansa never mentions getting help, so a shit load of people get annihilated before they rock up. That and i cant work out why the giant does not have a sword to cleave folk in half with.
Even up to the door breach I was expecting them to lose in true GoT fashion which I dont think would ever happen in any-other show

Last year the book reader thread rolled past 20k right after the finale, but the *no book spoilers* version hasn't done this before.
I guess people's qualms with her would be that she didn't seem to be on the side of the Starks per se, but more out of her own revenge on Ramsey. She's always be the least Stark-like Stark, but she kinda hung Jon out to dry by holding back information. Hopefully they don't gloss it over and Jon would stop her going fully 'darth'.

Why did Ramsay shoot Wun Wun with an arrow instead of a completely defenseless and distracted Jon?
He's so vain and stuck up his own ass that if you told me the reason he shot Wun Wun was to say some sick shit to Jon before his inevitable death then I'd believe it. But Occam's Razor tells me it's just some Hollywood ass plot convenience.
I don't think it'll ever really reach the heights of the first 4 seasons, which were fantastic apart from that rape-scene-that-wasn't-meant-to-be-a-rape-scene. It's still an enjoyable watch but it's sagging in places, predictable plots, seems to be repeating itself. sad
At that point there was ~20 people pointing their bows at Ramsay. Ramsay was practically dead and he knew it. He wanted that final duel.

The Lord of Light curved the arrow.
I don't know how sansa would know. Little Finger and that brat had resolved to help them a few episodes ago but when they finally met up it was more hostile. There's a chunk of plot missing because the last time they met was more confrontational than anything.
Either I way I dont see how you could possibly blame her for that.

I just feel like its the writers having to wing it without having a book to reference.
Werent the bows pointed after he shot Wun Wun? Either way he could have easily gotten his shot off. Ramsay knew he lost and he's fucked. Might as well take the leader down with him.
Yup. I think the writers just forgot or didn't even think about it.
Ramsay is cocky but he's not stupid. He had a pretty solid battle plan and would have obliterated Jons army if it wasn't for LF.

There really should've been a scene with Jon screaming "RAMSAAAAYYYYYY!!!!" in some deep ass voice.
If only, i'm already melting and it's still June.
Yep. Usually I'd cringe at that kind of scene and want the person to stop, but I was totally behind Jon just crushing every part of his face.

As with the last thread, those who have questions or need lore/book questions/insight can PM me.
I believe he thought Jon would be vain and stupid enough to come at him with his sword, finishing the giant first was to make him angry (which Jon had shown was a weakness).
But Jon thought about the situation rapidly, dropped Longclaw real quick to grab a Mormont shield and then gave us one of the most badass scene in the ep imo (and Ramsay thinking he was such a crackshot couldn't land an arrow 10 feet away, losing his grin quickly).
And he still had a smirk at the end, what a little fuck.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just drop it at that one vision and just let us piece it together. At this point coming out and explicitly stating it would seem a bit dumb, unless we see bran do some more time traveling.
I would be shocked if we didn't see the rest of that scene in the finale. According to the preview,
Bran is in it, so I'm expecting it

Subbing to new thread. Hopefully episode 10 can keep up with the last one.
