    <p>I would at least chopped down a tree and given him a club. Ludicrous to think he was put in a situation where people had a better reach than him because they had spears.</p>

    <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>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><strong>The dragons, my guess is the chains never really held them anyway, although the walls a bit more?

    <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>I think the interaction between the Greyjoys and Daenerys was fantastically well handled as well.</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>

    <p style="text-align:center;">Yara looks very......lesbianish...........not "hot" lesbianish either. Wun Wun was obviously tough as fuck but not "singlehandedly wiping out 6000 blokes tough". Even covered head to toe and armed appropriately he still woulda been toast. I really hope he wasn't the last of his kind as I want to see them fuck up some more White Walkers down the line.</p>

    <p>all he needed was a 20ft tree stump to be smashing those dudes behind the shields given they were just standing and moving forward, doing very little; swing away Wun Wun, swing away!</p>

    <p>I guess it depends how deep the phalanx went as with each swing one way he'd be exposing himself on the other side to attacks from spears/arrows. Mind you took enough of them to bring the big fella down and he barely had any armour. Makes the Giant who got killed by a single Ballista shot look like a pussy that's for sure......</p>

    Iirc, in the books, the giants were riding mammoths. Just one or two of those would fark up an entire army. It was a bit weird that he went into battle without a weapon or even some type of helm.<br><br>
    Yara is rough as. That lesbian stuff is typical for the show. In the books she really really likes cock.

    <p>ha I recall the part in the books when Theon was hitting on his sister before realizing it was his sister, and she was stringing him along, knowing who he was - not that incest is particularly rare in this world!</p>

    <p>Woulda been nice to see Theon kill Ramsay. I heard a rumour he was going to but it was just interweb bullshit I guess much like Jaime didn't get revenge on the bloke that took his hand.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Yeah now I think about it I'm annoyed as fuck that Wun Wun didn't have a big battle axe or something similar. In saying that Daenerys and the dragons would make short work of him and any number of his kind no sweat. I bet there's lots of warriors who's like a session with her ( use your imagination for "session" ) without those things fighting her battles.</p>

    I have to admit that when Jon Snow was getting trampled I was thinking "the bastard writers are going to have him die a pointless death." Thank fuck they didn't.<br><br>
    I liked that they let Ramsay be an utter fluffybunny right up until the very end. Davos wouldn't let the archers loose because they'd have hit their own men but Ramsay didn't give a monkey's.<br><br>
    And we now know why Rickon being handed over was so necessary, the writers needed a reason for Jon Snow to act rashly.<br><br>
    Re Sansa, I asked some weeks ago if anyone thought she was pregnant, presumably with Ramsay's heir. (Stick with me on this... She was gagging on her food, and said something about feeling what Ramsay did to her every day inside her). Maybe she offered Littlefinger the oppo to become "father" to the heir of the Stark and Bolton houses, as well as the Vale. That'd make him a pretty important dude. In any case she's going to stab him up at some point anyway so she can offer whatever she feels like.<br><br>
    Finally, it's shaping up so that all the most important/ strongest people are female. I suspect GRRRRRM has a bit of a fetish for powerful women.

    <p>As Daenarys, Tyrion and The Greyjoys pointed out, they all had arsehole Dads. I really like Tywin Lannister as a character but agree, the Women are taking over.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Ser Davos is possibly up there with the Hound and Bronn as my favourite character ( Jorah used to be but he's getting a bit sad now ). Probably something to do with the irish bloke who plays him, one of those typical can't quite place him actors but always plays good characters.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Thommond and Tyrion are cool too.</p>
