GOT - there will be spoilers

<br>
I'm guessing because he's still not sure why he is back, I don't think he really wants to be bacn -
RS - Tyrion already released the dragons from their chains. Unsure why they hadn't left the dungeon before then though, maybe waiting for the big fucker to return.<br><br>
Well that was a step up from previous episodes, the battle was pretty incredible. Good to see Wun Wun tear a few guys in half, but gutted to see him go down at the end. Wun Wun v the Mountain in a future episode would have been fun.<br><br>
Like others I can't understand why Sansa didn't say anything about the extra help - maybe she didn't know if it was coming or not? A heads up would have been nice though... or is there some beef between Snow and Little Finger that I can't remember? That part doesn't seem to make sense.<br><br>
I was wondering how they were going to finish Ramsay. His own dogs was a nice touch. -
<p>Now that I've actually seen the episode instead of accidentally reading spoilers I can only but concur.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The battle at the start was a mere warm up compared to the carnage than ensued later on, holy shit how well was that fight choreographed ? Just intense fucken action all the way through, Jon Snow, Thommond and Ser Davos were lucky they had some serious plot armour to protect them not only from arrows, swords and spears but also Westeros own version of Hillsborough towards the end. Good old Wun Wun looked like a pin cushion by the end but he did his bit and then some. Imagine how much carnage and army of Giants could cause ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>.....and of course Ramsay getting his, probably not quite as satisfying as I'd hoped but you can't have everything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I speak for us all when I say that episode was better than this whole season put together. Rip roaring fun to watch.</p> -
<p>Battle was great but where the furk was Ghost? The only direwolf to be seen was on the Stark flag.</p>

I liked Bolton, has a very dark sense of humour, never gave up either, right to the end he thought he was going to be fine.<br><br>
Agree with the above about Sansa keeping that wee nugget about LF coming to the rescue...assume Jon thinks the gods had a plan for him so cruised out thinking they want him alive so is untouchable. <br><br>
The dragons, my guess is the chains never really held them anyway, although the walls a bit more? Gotta say the CGI of the dragons up close with Dany on the back is superb.<br><br>
That Greyjoy girl has a fine ass.... -

<p>All the other chicks on the show and SHE is the one you perve at ?!?!?!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bolton was just such a good despicable arsehole bad guy, every time you felt a shred of sympathy you could always guarantee he'd get rid of those feelings with his next actions. I will definitely miss him though. Lets hope Euron Greyjoy is as much of a prick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that first battle was spectacular enough and could have easily livened up a few duller episodes ( of which there's been a few ), last nights episode is definitely gonna need repeated viewings methinks.</p> -

Surely that was a stunt arse. -
<p>I think Yara Greyjoy is more attractive than the frizzy haired girl.</p>
<p>She actually has some character to her. I guaratee if you asked her to tell a joke she wouldnt start rabbiting on about translators. It is almost like the writers are trying to make ole frizzy hair as boring as possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That episode was fantastic. I loved the battle scene. struggling to think of a episode of any TV series I have enjoyed more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the interaction between the Greyjoys and Daenerys was fantastically well handled as well.</p> -

<p>If frizzy hair got it straightened or cut really short she'd be super hot (ter ).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if I liked this or the Hardhome episode more. Might have to do a back to back and compare. Perhaps for utter hopeless despair ( ie the dead rise at the end as the ships sail away ) perhaps the latter pips it at the post.</p> -

And taught the useless fluffybunny to kick. He should have waded through that shield barrier.<br><br>
Isit wun wun skelton? -
<p>given Winterfell is supposed to be this impenetrable fortress, they made it in pretty easy...granted they had a giant smash the door, but a simple battering ram woulda done the same job too.</p>

<p>Putting on my nerd hat..... They didnt have the time to brace it. They had only just shut it and put a single bar across. In a siege they would reinforce it and brace it into a strong point.</p>

<p>As I said, Tyrion already removed the chains from the dragons a couple of episodes ago. Agree the CGI looked fantastic, that is a very difficult thing to pull off without it looking naff.</p>

<p>Good point, perhaps what he promised him is why she withheld the information from Jon? Surely he will be asking questions about that in the next episode...</p>
