Thought it was a good episode, got to see Sansa's crazy aunt and hear about how machiavelian Baelish is.

Had some shit that gave some back story from the books but wasn't in there.

That was the best episode of the season for me. All the tension in just about every face to face interaction, save for Brienne and Pod.

Couple changes to comment on (as a book reader)...

Sansa is masquerading as Littlefinger's niece?? Lysa is setting her up to marry Robin? Weird.

I liked the Craster's stuff. Was wondering how Bran and Jon were going to miss each other and they did it really well.

Hodor was money.

Remember when Rast was stabbing Hodor and said "If I was your size I would rule the world"...well, Bran heard that.

Not the best, not the worst. Totally average episode.

Cersei scenes were quite good though.

Sansa always acted like Littlefinger's niece.

I don't remember if Bran and Jon were both at Craester's at the same time. I thought they came close when Coldhands picked him up at the wall or something to that affect?

Yea, I figure some will find that episode boring. I personally love the maneuvering and scheming episodes the most. And that entire episode was either Cersei scheming or Littlefinger scheming.

Probably asleep, as this episode was quite boring.

Interesting take. I thought it was great. Maybe my favorite of the season.

It was pretty mediocre.

I enjoyed it still, because I'm obsessed with Thrones. But, yeah, nothing spectacular. Surprised Locke died. So much for him organizing

Spoiler

the assassination of Jon

I didn't really see that happening, totally takes away from the emotion of it all. He served his purpose.

A couple of things:

Has arya always had thoros, mellisadre and beric on her list in the show? i dont remember them on her list in ASOS.

I think the episode would have a bigger impact on non book readers as it has the reveal of littlefingers conspiracy from season 1 that starts this game of thrones. It interesting that Alayne is littlefingers niece not bastard now and i wonder if that is to play up the season ending

Spoiler

littlefingers kiss in the snow and showdown at the moon door

I don't know if she ever mentioned their names, but then again why would she? They didn't give away Gendry in the books.

EDIT: And obviously she didn't mention Melisandre in the books, because she didn't know who Melisandre was.

Where the fuck is Jack Brickman.

My parents are in town for the weekend, so I didn't have my laptop out like I normally do when I watch the show. I need to rewatch it anyway. My dad has read the books but doesn't watch the show, so I had to spend the entire damn episode explaining to him which characters were which and at what point in the books they were at. I missed a lot of the dialogue.

Seemed like a solid episode. Jon stays not meeting Bran and Locke gets worked by Hodor. RIP Locke. Really liked that guy.

It wasn't an action packed episode but the best shows have a balance of character development and action. I enjoyed it.

Anyone know what the significance of Jojen seeing his hand on fire was?
