Rickon/Shaggydog is poo poo story but I dont care because

OLLIE IS DEAD! :woop:

Yeah

Decent episode. Definitely disappointed with the Rickon thing but maybe he won't die somehow!?!? Killing Shaggydog is too hosed up however.

Aside from that though, it wasn't bad.

So as someone who didn't watch the episode and could only glean context from your overblown reactions I assume Ramsey godmodded himself into capturing Rickon and killing Shaggydog (how?) and Jon killed the guys who ides of March'd him (does he act any different now after resurrecting? And what was the reason given for hanging him?) did I miss anything else important?

Spanish Spoiler didn't know Shaggydog had been killed as it wasn't explained through dialoge.

If they want to restrict how much information he has they should stop having characters say stuff like "he's stabbed him in the back."

Westeros is the Bermuda Triangle where time and place warp into meaninglessness. Rickon ages 10 years while Gilly's kid stays a perpetual infant. Theon and the Sand Snakes can teleport instantly wherever they want.

Umber delivered Rickon and Osha to Ramsay to setup the battle of the bastards. I didn't think he acted much different, I assumed they hung them all so they could do it all at once in one scene quickly.

Tower of Joy being 6 on 2 instead of 7 on 3 and the Sword of the Morning wielding two non-Dawn swords is just really weird. They seem to have some kind of weird obsession where nothing can be left unchanged.

Honestly I prefer it that way. At this point I hope they deviate from the books as much as they possibly can, even if there's no good reason to do so

Dany is going to take her new Dothraki horde and lift the siege of Mereen and that'll be the end of her season.

Meaning another season of essentially going nowhere.

Smalljon is introduced in the same episode where Jon is confirmed to have a tiny dick.

God, this Northern poo poo is so bleak. Paedolord Karstrek, this Umber and God Ramsay. Osha is proably only still alive for now because it's too expensive to show Ramsay with a direwolf. Manderly is the only thing that can salvage this and I'm not optimistic -- send him to the Frey wedding.

That Reddit extra leak was true. RIP Rickon, your life was poo poo.

One of the best scenes from the books is Sam loving Gilly in the boat where everything is covered in poo poo and piss and puke and the baby is screaming and they are loving for some reason.

Most likely intercut with Littlefinger showing up at the last minute to save Jon and winning that battle. Because poetry, it rhymes.

Because D&D have no idea what they're doing.

It's funny how HBO is essentially pleading with them to add another full season, which would give them room to let the plot breath, but they refuse because they claim that they only have 15 more episodes with of material. Meanwhile they continue to move the plot along at a glacial pace with no end anywhere in sight.

Won't be shocked if after Asha Yara loses the Kingsmoot because #ItsHerTurn wasn't a valid argument to rule the Seastone Chair Salt Throne she ends up sailing to Meereen with her fleet, allies with Dany because gently caress Euron instead of attacking her and taking the dragons, then sails with her army from Meereen back to Westeros so Dany finally loving leaves Essos

Like they're fusing Asha and Victarion together, right?
