shapinglightJust watched this and...
... again you could have knocked me down with a feather. I really did think the Hound was dead. Quite nice to see him, even if his segment of the episode was such a downer - in which the only people we've so far met in the show to renounce violence as the answer to everything all get violently murdered. Great.
Anyone else have the slightest clue what they were building there? Was it some sort of mini castle?
Actually, large chunks of this episode were quite depressing. Notably every scene Jon Snow was in, if only because his usual woebegone expression seems to have been turned up to eleven since he came back from the dead. I wonder what he'll do when he finds out Sansa kept information from him - which he surely will find out if Littlefinger and the knights of the Vale turn up and say she sent for them.
I'm still really pissed off with Littlefinger for poisoning their reunion.
But there were some enjoyable scenes, notably Ser Davos being such a sweetie in his conversation with little Lady Mormont - which reminds me that he still doesn't know what happened to Shireen, and I'm not sure there's anyone left except Melisandre who could tell him, because now I think about it, I'm pretty sure Brienne and Podric turned up later.
Also enjoyable was Margaery contriving to let her grandmother know that she's bluffing. Yay! Margaery! I'm glad everyone was right about her. Best scene of all, though, was Granny Tyrell telling Cersei a few home truths. Also, also, even though he's a total bastard, and, the way I see it, on the wrong side, it's always nice to see Bronn.
I'm rooting for Theon and Yara now. I hope they get to Dany before their uncle Urine (or whatever his name is). And I'm rooting for Arya to get the Waif back some day. I'm sick of her nasty, self-righteous little face with its pretty much permanent sneer (the Waif's that is, not Arya's).
Not a lot else to say. Except that when Ian McShane's character (whose name I didn't catch) was telling his life story, one of the extras was trying way too hard to act and someone should tell him not to do it. And it begins to look like every single Brit/Irish thesp (who is not Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne or Benedict Cumberbatch) in existence has had a part in this show now. Two new ones in this episode alone. They're just coming out of the woodwork.
Only three episodes to go. It looks depressingly less and less likely that we're going to get shut of Ramsey Bolton (or Walder Frey) this season. :(
ETA: I have decided that the only reason that bit where Melisandre cut off some of Jon's hair was included, btw, is so Jon could have a man-bun.
