The start of that episode was awesome. The rest was okay, but I understand we have a lot of storylines that need to be pressed. Right now the most interesting is Sansa, Jon, and LIttlefinger up North.
That felt like a book keeping episode, just updating us on everything. I'm totally invested in Jon Snow as well but Danny's last line was great.
Sansa is so annoying. I get where she's coming from and partially agree with her on the whole "rewarding your allies and punishing your enemies", but she has the worst timing for stating her opinion. She couldn't hash things out with Jon in advance or pull him aside? On top of that, Littlefinger is lurking around and enjoying the conflict.
But Jon also has to understand the he can't trust everybody, if him getting stabbed by the Night's Watch was a lesson enough. He needs to be more thoughtful with his decisions.
The season premiere always feels like an extended "Previously on Game of Thrones..." I thought maybe with the way the episode started that maybe we were in for a lot of stuff, but it ended up being a refresher episode like every other season. Spoiler At what point does Arya become a villain? She just killed everyone in the house. I'm sure there were some who had nothing to do with the Red Wedding. The lines are getting more and more blurred. At this point, other than Jon, who is really "good" or even decent?
So that was my first thought too. I was getting pissed at her. Thought she was wrong and it was a bad time/place. But then by the end of the scene, I changed my mind. I think Sansa was absolutely right. Trying to be a honorable and uniting leader, Jon forgives two families that had betrayed them by letting them keep their holds including some important castles. The result of that is two pipsqueak kids taking the lead to defend those strategic castles against the white walkers. I would've stripped them of the land as punishment for their family's betrayal AND just to get more experienced guys in charge of that defense.
The problem with that is you create more enemies. I mean it could go either way to be honest, both of them have their points. Just saying both of them should know better and not air that stuff out in public.
Thats a good point. Also Sansa has been around very evil people and knows how they function. She learned the hard way. I think her opinion is good for Jon.
For sure. If they actually let Littlefinger manipulate them into going against each other I'm gonna be so disappointed.
What the hell was with the Ed Sheeran appearance? If Justin Bieber showed up in my favorite show and totally took me out of the story with his stupid face I'd be pissed. F****** hate Ed Sheeran and his goddang song playing on every radio station every 10 minutes.
