Yeah, I hope that bastard has an epic end.  May be the most loathsome lout in the entire cast of characters.

And , umm...just what did the Red Witch bring back, eh?

Yeah, remains to be seen if it's the same Jon Snow or something....different.

And Bran having the visions of Winterfell from before he was born, seeing his father as a child, and his aunt Lyanna -- kind of lends new evidence to the long standing fan theory that Jon Snow is actually the child of Lyanna Stark and a Targaryen prince, and that Ned claimed him as a bastard son in order to protect him from the people out to kill any surviving Targaryen.

Did you notice the scenes from the next epiode, where they show Ramsey asking "and what have you come to Winterfell for?" to someone who answers "we've brought you a gift"?  The people who brought the gift carried the banner of House Umber, a former vassal house to the Starks.  When Bran went north of the wall, he sent his younger brother Rickon with the wildling woman to the Umbers, because at the time they were loyal vassals who would keep him safe.  Clearly the "gift" they've brought Ramsey must be Rickon Stark.

Yeah it is starting to get good, so many chickens returning to roost, shaping up for a fine season.

I had to wonder the purpose of flashing back to a time before your own existence, Bran is going to have a key role to play with his Wild powers.

I have to say, I am really liking Season 6 so far.  What's up with Bronn?  They haven't even mentioned him.  Was he on the ship with Jaime that returned from Dorne?

He was. No mention of him so far. I hope they didn't write him out. He was becoming one of my faves.

He's probably dallying with his woman...nothing like a long sea voyage to stoke a fellas yearnings for the fairer sex.  ;)

Besides, he could be a good candidate to strike the fatal blow that brings The Mountain down.

Still really liking this season.  The story is moving along quickly now.  Last night's episode had a major reveal in Hodor's back story.  And there was a scene in Arya's story line, where she is watching a theater troupe put on a bawdy reenactment of her father's execution, and all I can say is the actress who was playing the role of fake Sansa....whew!  ::pimp::

Yeah, Hodor explained.

And what pray tell is awaiting Bran since being flushed from the tree?  Maybe he'll meet a dragon and do his Beastmaster thingy?

And those woodland faeries...made the white walkers...just goes to show you, never trust a faerie!

And does anybody think that Murderous Grayjoy has a shot at the Mother of Dragons?  Please, it's like somebody saying I have a shot at (insert name of supermodel hottie here). Clearly an indication of insanity and or blindness.

Kinda disappointed the pimp didn't get iced, perhaps a bigger and more spectacular demise is in store, but...I still would have like seeing him get a broad sword (heh) up the arse!

Like the pace though...   ::thumbsup::

And actor actress...got a couple things going for her...   :D

Yeah, I think the more likely thing is Yara and Theon will get there before him and offer their fleet and services as sea warriors.  Danaerys might promise them rule over the Iron Islands in exchange.  But either way, it appears the merging of the Targaryen/Greyjoy storylines is the answer to the "Dany's fleet was burned, what will she replace it with?" question.

Yeah I had to run it back and rewatch that scene a couple times ;)

The mystery of Hodor's history finally explained, and it was soooooo cool! It was sad, but a very satisfactory explanation. I wonder who will cart Bran around now?

LOL, Doran Martell, murdered because he was "low energy".

Arya's wolf Nymeria might still be around too, possibly.  That's the one she set loose in the forest so it wouldn't be killed for biting Joffrey.

RIP Summer  ::USA::
