At least no Dorne^^ The two biggest things were that A) it seems clear that Jon WAS in ghost for a time. But that doesn't have any lead up or any indication that it was anything beyond a nod at Winds. Second, why does Davos want Jon to come back. He doesnt owe him anything. I hope they explain why. The only reason would be if ToJ was known, but that won't be revealed to next week. I know this was mentioned last week but we still have nothing on it... | ||

I also think Ramsay's plot advancement is rushed as well. Euron's introduction was ok, but i don't get the atmosphere from that actor tbh, Pedro Pascal OWNED the role immediately, i cannot say the same for this guy. It wasn't a bad episode by any means, but still not 100% happy with it either tbh. | ||

So the whole Euron = Daario thing is pretty much kaput if anyone believed it to begin with. I have no idea what to think about the Bolton storyline, I don't think Book!Roose is sentimental enough to just get fucking stabbed by the son he knows is a psychopath. The show exists to mess with readers now. | ||

I agree the pacing is off, mainly because euron's introduction came out of nowhere, but at a minimum roose getting stabbed isn't too shocking for me considering how long ramsay has been giving him the stink eye about walda being pregnant | ||

Would have made this season a lot better... | ||

The show exists to mess with readers now. Well it has been said time and time again that the book and show should follow different paths from now on. I'm guessing this Roose/Ramsay shenanigan shouldn't happen in the books but who knows. Next episode is FREAKING TOWER OF JOY. The hype is so freaking much holy shit. | ||

Some actor who simply has some form of "gravitas", this guy doesn't seem to have it imo (ok a little early to decide, but even though they used the book lines it didn't feel all that great imo) My personal casting choice would have been james purefoy. Maybe i am just too biased, not sure. | ||
