I couldn't stand him, always that special look on his face and the show runners gave him way too much screentime as well.
Not the most talented kid actor either doesn't help. Kinda comparable to that walking dead kid, you just wanna punch him in the face

I don't know about you, I think that was hilarious and the funniest possible way to show his fear

Dam the starks cannot catch a break lol, Sansa escapes and Rickon gets captured now.
By the way can someone explain why the High Sparrow is so powerful? Can't the King just walk in with an army get Margaery and Loras out?

From what i gather, it's unlikely the King really has a bigger support than what the High Sparrow could gather. Otherwise, Cersei would had been up for it.

The same as when someone would march on the pope in Rome I guess. A revolt to dwarf all revolts that have come before it.

He could but that would turn the commoners against the Lannisters. Since King and the Church always kind of supported each other in the past and since the kingdome is still not 100% at peace, they don't want to risk that.

I did like the Tower of Joy scene, highlight of this episode to me. Yes, dual wielding like that is very unrealistic, so I would prefer if they had gone with a more realistic way of doing it. Maybe having the kingsguards position themselves better to take on the larger group. But it did show that Arthur Dayne was an amazing fighter, that he could take on 4-5 men alone, and actually destroy them. This build up under the lagend status he have in this universe. Dual wielding is done for show, and it looks cool for those who don't care about the realism in it. So I can live with them going this way with it. Remember most of the swordfights in GoT and in all swordmovies is very unrealistic, just ask someone who practises HEMA and stuff like that.
What I disliked the most is the Rickon getting handed over to Ramsey, and even more them killing Shaggydog. . It looks like they are doing this to give Jon a reason to attack Ramsey, now that Sansa isn't the hostage anymore. And they do it to build more hate towards Ramsey, like we need that. I would actually be ok with them just having Ramsey randomly fall off the wall to be done with him. He is a boring, one dimensional, sadistic retard of a character. Of all the badguys in this series he must be the most boring one.
The killing of the direwolf was shit as well. With the killing of Sansa's direwolf it foreshadowed her distancing from the rest of the Starks. At least it symblozied that to me. She allways looked more like a Tully then a Stark to begin with. While her brothers and sisters were more Stark in their appearance and their values, honor and justice, she was seeking out a more material path. The killing of her direwolf sort of kills the Stark in her, and just now is she starting to become more Starky. The same thing with Arya, her sending her wolf away to save her from getting killed foreshadowed her getting lost herself, and beginning her path to becomming no one (If Arya's path back to finding her family and herself doesn't start withh her finding her wolf, I will be dissapointed). Robb died, and they killed his wolf, which made the death even stronger (especially if you take into account that the Stark are wargers). So when they now go on to randomly kill Shaggydog what does this symbolize, does it foreshadow a Rickon death? If not, what does it symbolize? Nothing? Then it is lazy writing imo. If it symbolize Rickon dieing it sucks as well, because I am tired of them fucking up the Starks.
And finally I don't get the Olly hate really. To me it was a heartfelt moment when Jon hanged him. Olly had every reason to hate the wildlings. Yes he shot Ygritte, which sucked, but from his perspective he shot a wildling, one of those who killed his parants. Yes he stabbed Jon in the heart. He killed Jon who saved the people Olly hated the most, he killed Jon who to Olly was a traitor. Olly's motives for doing what he did was very understandable and didn't come from an evil mind, it came from a place of vengance and grief. Olly's motives make perfect sense to me, and I feel more compassion towards him than hate. And as a final note Olly stabbing Jon in the heart is what have made Jon what he is now. If he is Azor Ahai, Olly played an important part in Jons transformation, by doing the killing. It very much resembles the story where Judas betrayes Jesus. even though Judas' betrayal was far worse, motivated by greed.

the dialogue she was given this episode was complete crud . just listen to the lines she was given. what the fuck are you supposed to do with that.
Show emotions. Show you are scared of being left alone without Sam. Show you are worried about your child. This lets viewers identify with the character.

Well I guess that would make sense.. thanks

I have an epidermic reaction to fart jokes. They are the lowest possible form of humor, and are usually enough of a reason for me to qui watching a movie/show. I mean, this used to be the show with rich and intricate dialogs, subtle subtext and overall extremely clever interaction. And now, they found nothing to show that an old guy is afraid than a fucking fart ? Really ? Not to mention the extremly overplayed cliché of "the guy talking shit about another guy, while being the onlyone unaware of his presence

Just like Olly lacked perspective, Olly-haters also lacks perspective.

There is at least one dick joke in every episode but somehow a stupid fart joke makes people angry, wtf

The High Sparrow has a considerable number of armed clerics at his disposal. More importantly, he holds the queen hostage, so any attack might result in her death. And he has the support of the common people, and the crown cannot risk an uprising.

His armed men apparently refuse to wear armors and to bear any sharp weapon though, so they shouldn't be that much of a trouble. The two other points are true though.
