I got teary-eyed, too! :(<br /><br />I'm also kind of mad at Bran for going into the vision by himself, just because he had nothing else to do. The repercussions were severe, not to mention fatal for poor Hodor and Summer, and now he only has Meera, whom I feel sorry for because she's got such overwhelming responsibility now.<br /><br />Littlefinger is long overdue to be taken out. I wish Sansa had just let Brienne get it over with because he's still a wildcard. He'll betray anyone to anyone as long as he benefits. We're definitely getting a Riverlands story line; I'm looking forward to it, but my main investment is in the events in the north!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-13978177756112793762016-05-30T13:53:39.862-04:002016-05-30T13:53:39.862-04:00This episode....man! This episode devastated me! ...This episode....man! This episode devastated me! I'm just unable to can right now. <br /><br />First Littlefinger. Isn't it past time somebody killed this dude? I don't like him, never have since he betrayed Ned. And what i hate about him most is that you NEVER know where he stands. He is out for himself and himself alone. He better not have been lying to Sansa about the Blackfish. the only reason I do believe him is because I know in the book Brynden did get away. It looks like the events involving the riverlands that happened way back in the 3rd and 4th books is finally about to play out.<br /><br />I've always wondered the origin of the white walkers and now we know. My only question now is if it will be presented the same way when the book finally comes out.<br /><br />I love that Sansa has grown up and realizes that life is not a fricken fairytale. She is resolved in her next course of action and doesn't seem to be wavering. As for a Brienne and Tormund ship, I am sooooooo here for it! I think those two would be great together. <br /><br />As for Bran...I know he must be a very integral part of this story but that does not stop me from wanting to slap the piss out of him for his unauthorized shenanigans! Just lead the white walkers right to you, why don't ya!? And good, loyal Summer jumps into the fray to protect his master and doesn't make it. Heartbreak one here for me. I had to watch this twice to be sure Summer was gone because I was in denial.<br /><br />And poor, sweet, gentle, Hodor!! Imagine living your life from that time in the past on knowing one day you would have to sacrifice yourself in such a way. Ughhh and when young Wylis started seizing and shouting Hold the Door...Hold Door...Hodor...I was just done. My throat was all tight, tears in my eyes. Ghatdamb George for that!!! We ain't cool, we ain't friends, and he ain't invited to the family reunion no more! I just want to fight him in the face for this tragedy.<br /><br />RIP Summer, RIP Hodor! <br />Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746143201789518072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-64993362151372707852016-05-30T12:49:17.402-04:002016-05-30T12:49:17.402-04:00Yeah, the Red Priestesses can't seem to agree ...Yeah, the Red Priestesses can't seem to agree on whom exactly the Lord of Light has chosen, lol.<br /><br />I'm still not over what happened at the end of this episode! As much as it broke my heart, though, I have to admit it was some brilliant plotting and storytelling!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-526020074054072122016-05-30T10:44:34.192-04:002016-05-30T10:44:34.192-04:00This episode.

I am shipping Brienne and Tormund haha, their scenes of looks and glances are hilarious to watch. This better happen before this season is over. Something HAS to happen. So much tension!<br /><br />The whole red priestess stuff confuses me a lot. Like how can one of them say one thing and another completely believe and say the same thing to someone else?<br /><br />I haven't watched today's episode yet, so I'll probably watch that tonight. So excited!Jordon @ Simply Adrifthttp://www.simplyadrift.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-5112149420179427952016-05-29T11:46:22.107-04:002016-05-29T11:46:22.107-04:00I was wondering the same thing- if Jaime and Brien...I was wondering the same thing- if Jaime and Brienne are going to meet up in the Riverlands, like in the books.<br /><br />I've heard that this season's huge battle is going to be on an epic scale like none before it. I'm really excited, since the show has been consistently raising the bar on the battle scenes. They've come a long way from season 1, when Tyrion got knocked out before the fighting started because they didn't really have the budget to stage a big battle, lol.<br /><br />Without having any new books to refer to at the moment, I feel like any fan theory could become a plotline on the show, lol! Looking forward to tonight's episode, for sure!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-32502499814242598962016-05-27T22:57:40.176-04:002016-05-27T22:57:40.176-04:00I agree, I wonder if Brienne will meet Jaime in th...I agree, I wonder if Brienne will meet Jaime in the riverlands. I know he's in KL now but I thought I saw someone say he goes to the riverlands later in the season? Not sure. And I had the exact same thought. Is she viewing the FM differently now, or are they testing her yet again? <br /><br />I agree about the battle in the north. I've been waiting for that in the books and now we're going to get it on screen first apparently. Go Jon and Sansa!! lol <br /><br />And yes Summer and Hodor. So sad... The time travel thing seems to be opening up lots of fan theories that seemed too bizarre before, now I'm wondering...

I do hope that he wasn't lying about the Blackfish, and that Brienne isn't leaving for nothing!<br /><br />The play did a really good job of telling the story of GoT in a nutshell, lol. I think in Arya's mind, the Faceless Men were more killers with a cause than killers for hire. She does seem a bit hesitant about joining them now.<br /><br />I'm very excited to see the battle for the north, although it looks like we're going to get a showdown in King's Landing first. I wonder if there will be any fighting, or if they're saving that for the north story line.<br /><br />I'm still so crushed over Summer and Hodor! The whole time travel/destiny thing still has my brain spinning, too. That was some incredibly profound stuff, and the aftermath definitely has me intrigued!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-50784030962415638882016-05-27T15:20:56.148-04:002016-05-27T15:20:56.148-04:00I hear you on the episode titles. I was like- The ...I hear you on the episode titles. I was like- The Door? Whatever does that mean? Um, now we know :( I'm not really a fan of the show Little finger. Do you think he was telling the truth about Riverrun? Obviously that hasn't happened in the books yet- will it?? I thought the play was well done and I'm VERY curious whether Arya will go ahead with being an assassin basically. <br /><br />I liked the war council too, that's an interesting mix of allies. Jon, Sansa, Davos, etc. And I agree about Summer. Ugh. Interesting that Leaf sacrificed herself- so they created the walkers but are now on the side of the human. I wonder if we'll see more children down south (maybe Isle if Faces). That Hodor moment (and reveal) was very powerful- I agree w/ you. I think this was one of the most consequential of the whole show- we learned the secrets behind several important mysteries this week. <br /><br />Very anxious to see the fallout this weekend! And like it or not we're getting glimpses of where the story is going, even if he does it somewhat different in the book. Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.com
