What an episode

-Jon Snow resurrected
- Roose Bolton murdered by Ramsay
- Ramsay feeding walda and his baby brother to the dogs
-Balon Greyjoy murdered, Euron Greyjoy introduced
-tyrion facing the dragons and unchaining them
- the high sparrow trying to provoke jamie lannister
- allister thorne captured, Wun Tun breaking free

Oh yea and the little fact that we see Lyanna freakin Stark!!!

Kinda having a Nergasm right now

Ramsay does all this sick sadistic shit, like feeding his baby brother to dogs, and I know I'm meant to hate him because of it... But I really don't. He's one of my favourite characters, and I love seeing what sick sadistic shit he is going to get up to next.

His moment with Roose reminded me of Kylo Ren with Han Solo.

They really f**king nailed this episode. The Jon Snow return understandably makes you forget about all the other great shit that happened.

Tower of Joy next week. :D

I get the feeling that bran will be pulled away before a possible big reveal is confirmed.
With rumours that grr martin is rushing to get winds of winter out before the end of the season, maybe a possible R+L=J reveal will be reserved for episode 9

Yeah, after getting an insight into the raven today, I'll concede defeat in advance to Walt Flanagan as he may actually be right - you may not necessarily see Lyanna and the baby next week.

The directing of that final scene was just perfect. I was constantly wavering on the verge of 'It'll happen now' and 'They're just trolling us'.

Every lingering shot was a tease, and that final moment was pretty awesome.

Terrific episode all round.

Ok, can someone tell me if the ice dudes are in this episode so I can determine if it's worth watching or not.

I have to admit that my heart very almost sank when she finished and everyone started walking out

I also think that Euron Greyjoy will be one fantastic character.

Seriously?!?

That last scene was so cliched I felt like I'd seen it dozens of times before in different shows and movies. It was pretty lazy writing.

It worked precisely because it played off the cliche. The constant close ups and musical swells and worried looks teased out what we knew was going to happen.

The fact it created doubt is a sign it worked well.

I'm glad they did this now rather than making us wait all season for us. Get on with the SNOWBOWL!

It might be 'cliche' to have the hero re-awaken right at the end, but not all cliches are bad, and it was executed perfectly. They made you think that the resurrection would go all smoothly, and then they tickled your feelings of doubt and disappointment. They took virtually everyone on an emotional roller coaster. I'd rather them do it like that than kind of rush it. It was also a good way to make Ghost's relationship with Jon even cooler.

What other way could it be done? He resurrects when they try to burn him? Targaryens may have better heat resistance than others but I don't think a Targaryen has ever been resurrected from a fire.

f**k some of you merkins are hard to please

That Ep was awesome

All it needed was olly dying and it would of been complete

I take it since Jon snow has died he is now free from his oath to the nights watch

My best mate is having a bitch because 'his resurrection was rushed' with 'lazy writing'. Please. He wanted them to do the ritual, have the ritual fail, proceed to burn his body, discover it doesn't burn because he's a targaryen, and then have him warg back from ghost into his own body. I mean yeah that sounds really cool but come on, his warging *in the show* isn't even established.
