Also I don't remember the Umbers being mad at the Starks in the books so I don't understand why they would kill Rickons wolf and give him to Ramsey, rather than giving him refuge at their castle.

I can't believe they killed Shaggydog like that. That has got to be a random black wolf head. Didn't seem a huge direwolf head for me. Considering that the Umber denied to bend the knee to Ramsay, I think he'll betray him later. Yeah I'm in denial mode.

Who would he be explaining it to? Pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck.

Good episode, though. And hopefully Jon will start murdering bitches left and right now instead of being emo.

Nice to see there is some form of story developing though. Jon is bound to lead the wildlings South.

Still have no idea how they are going to clear up 2 massive story archs (Daenarys invading Westeros and whitewalkers) with only a couple of seasons left after this one.

Also pretty much guaranteed Jon's lineage now. Lyanna Stark in the tower whilst giving birth (screaming) and Ned runs up and find them.

Ghost seems smaller too.

Ghost was the runt of the litter.

Book spoilers, avert your eyes:


It's mostly done so they can compact the plot since there wouldn't have been time for a Davos searching for Rickon side quest. I think in the books the leader of the Umbers was still being held hostage after the Red Wedding so most of his family is siding with the Boltons aside from a small group helping Stannis. Also I don't think it's a matter of Umbers being mad at the Starks, it's just that all the Stark family they would respect enough to follow are dead and they also lost a lot of men in the war because of the Starks bad decisions. It's more about the Umbers accepting their new reality and their biggest threat and priority has always been fighting wilding raiders so whoever controls Winterfell doesn't really affect them that much.

I think what I liked most about the books was the moment (can't remember which book) where the priest traveling with Brienne talks about the experience of the common man who gets taken away from their homes to fight wars for these families. Whichever family controls the iron throne or is lord of their region doesn't really make their lives any better, but they'll get used as pawns in the struggles of these families and possibly die or get stranded far away from home if their side loses:

A bigger hint towards his lineage was whem Arya said she had 4 brothers and got skacked for telling a lie

Yes, no hints to Jon's lineage in that scene. Arya doesn't know the truth.

Jon was looking very spiffy after he got rid of the cloak. Really hope he starts murdering people, the show needs a protagonist that doesn't just talk.

Yeah, she really believes she has a half-brother, so that would be seen as "true" to the faceless men, who use FBI type physionomy analysis or whatever it's called, pupil dilation and breathing and shit like that. They don't have any magical ability to determine truth and lie, as far as I know, it's all training.

At the Tower of Joy I kinda expected the king's guard to say "Woe to the Usurper if we had been" in response to Stark asking about their absence from the Trident, but they modernized it to "Good for him we weren't" or something along those lines. Woe is such a ponderous, dramatic word, I didn't even realize I remembered that line from the books until I noticed it's absence. And the swamp guy Reed is the one that saves Stark, as was hinted at in Ned's internal dialogue in the first book. Kinda expected it to be by poisoned arrow though, but backstabbing drives the point that he isn't some pamby knight concerned with honour well enough.

I kinda laughed when Bran was like "he stabbed him in the back!". If he hadn't have you wouldn't be here Raisin Bran.  :P

Apparently 4v1 was super-duper knightly honorable and totally fine, but actually succeeding at stabbing someone in the back isn't.
