Would really have preferred to see John Snow warg'd into Ghost upon death

Who says he isn't?

These HBO elves are ruining my immersion.

I feel like s6 is being run through one of Richard Hendrick's compression algorithms.

Waited a year for utter shite...

Didn't Thoros say that he learned how to resurrect because he had complete despair and given up all hope when Beric died and not knowing what to do he spoke the only words that came to his mind...like that's how he learned the skill. I totally saw that happening with Melisandre but... but... it just wasn't driven home enough and faltered in the delivery. I dunno like I see what they were trying to do and it was ALMOST there but they needed to do something different at castle black to keep that pressured despair up on Mel and it just became a big ol MEH for me.

Yeah, something like that. Thoros had been in a prolonged back-slide. I'm underwhelmed.

There was a ton of stuff happening in this episode. I'm going to re-watch it tonight, but I was underwhelmed by most of the major developments. Kind of surprised at how quiet it is here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Find it hard to believe that book Melissandra doesn't know how to resurrect.

regarding ep2:

so, im betting that Hodor got kicked in the head by a horse to become the Hodor we all know and love. wonder why they changed his name from Walder. also, i noticed Tyrion is the only one in the Mereen group that hasnt literally lost his cock. and speaking of Tyrion, when he releases the dragons, i was wondering, is there another way in or out of that pyramid? because those dragons will no longer fit through the door.

grats to everyone that predicted Ramsay would slew Roose. do you guys think this will play out the same way in the books? hell, maybe Roose is already dead in the book, and we just don't know about it. cause remember the "Pink Letter" is signed "Ramsay Bolton, Trueborn Lord of Winterfell". so i'm just saying, i could absolutely see that being a thing.

Sansa now knows that Arya, Bran, and Rickon are all still alive, and assumes Jon is the Lord Commander of the Nights Watch. so this is probably the best she's felt since Ned was arrested. and Theon, i don't think i hate him anymore. i kinda just feel bad for him now. the rope bridge scene with Euron & Balon was super cheesy imo. i still am not convinced thats how it played out in the books, but can't be sure. i do think the whole "Euron hired the faceless men (with a dragon egg) to take out Balon" theory is fun and while not probable, surely is possible. and it's for sure folks, we're getting that Kingsmoot. wonder if Theon will be back by then, or if it will just be Euron vs Asha/Yara.

i love Davos. Mel was all like "i just don't believe it's real anymore!" and Davos is like "Lady, i've seen a demon shadow baby assassin crawl out of your snatch, its F'ing real". during the rezz ceremony i was expecting to see Mel's ruby glow or shine or something, and it didn't. i was also expecting a sacrifice, a life for a life type thing. Beric had to go for LSH to be a thing, and hell, Shireen just had to go for no reason. for a brief moment i thought Ghost was going to die.

i know some people were expecting Jon to not come back til later in the season, but im glad they got that all out of the way. we all knew Jon was coming back, and we all knew Melisandre was gonna bring him back. i still wonder if Shireen will be sacrificed in some way that is related to bringing back Jon in the book. and now i'm also left to wonder what Mel will do. i'm sure she'll have no trouble convincing Jon that her God is real.

as for the previews, all that matters is that we are getting ToJ next week!

[LGraves]

Pretty much everything Sirken just said. Davos is probably my favorite character and i'm really curious as to what happens to Theon.

The whole production of the show seems like it shot different or maybe they are just going at a faster pace. But it feels different this season, so far.

Definitely thought Ghost was going to stop breathing and then Jon's eyes pop wide open. I am quite disappointed by the entire sequence to be honest, it feels like a cheesy way to bring Jon back. This will be seen by many as the "jump the shark" episode. Part of GoT appeal is that its far more based in "reality" than other fantasy shows...I think there was a lot of eye rolling going on nationwide last night at the end of the episode.

I have read all the books and I realize this show has TONS of fantasy/magic elements, but resurrecting Jon Snow and the magic animating the white walkers seem like 2 different animals all together. I think the writers thought the entire LSH angle was goofy so they decided to nix it - now i feel like Jon and LSH could reunite at some point.

Overall A+, still one of the best shows around
