The best new episode of Game of Thrones, even though last week was good. I was on the edge of my seat. You never know when they will kill somebody off. I think that's why Premium channel programming is so good because it's unpredictable. The non cable programs dramas have a set of characters and you know they won't deviate from that too much.

I wouldn't write Jon Snow off just yet. Not with The Red Lady Mellisandre still at Castle Black...

Dude
Thats what my wife said as I sat there with my mouth wide open.
Spoiler alert - They've managed to kill off every hero for me so far. I'm really disappointed.No one to root for anymore!
Or not back season 6 but maybe season 7?!

Okay, I'm going to talk about something that isn't really a spoiler because it's only a theory amongst the readers of the books. Since the show has now moved past the books there can't really be any spoilers.
So, the theory is that Jon Snow is not Ned Stark's bastard child, but that he is actually the (secret) result of Rhaegar Targaryen's abduction and rape of Lyanna Stark which sparked Robert's rebellion. Remember that Ned tells Jon Snow that he will tell him the truth of his mother the next he sees him as he is departing for The Wall and Ned is preparing to leave for King's Landing. Ned, being the noble and good man he was would never love another besides Catelyn, but would never leave his sister's child behind either. He knows he could never let anyone know the truth of the child's existence because it would be killed so he had to forsake his honor and make up the story of the child being his bastard in order to protect Jon Snow.
So, this would mean that the blood that runs through Jon Snow's veins would be blood from two ancient and Kingly lines. The Starks were long time Kings of the North while the Targaryens ruled the Seven Kingdoms for generations.
As we all know, there is immense power in King's blood and that is A LOT of very serious King's blood flowing all over the snow around him as he lies there bleeding out with The Lady Mellisandre and Davos Seaworth literally right there.
Now, perhaps the blood will be used for another reason, but I don't think so. Also, remember how Thoros of Myr was able to bring Beric Dondarrion back from the dead over and over again and Dondarrion doesn't even have King's blood running through his veins.

I'm wondering how the wolves might play in this. They seem magical. I was waiting for the white wolf to show up save my favorite character.
EDIT
Too bad this guy didn't get killed off yet. It's only a matter of time. Remember what happened to his father.

I'm not sure what is going to happen moving forward but I agree with your theory about John Snow's true identity.
That was such a great episode imo. I knew Reek would have to go against Ramsay eventually.

What are you trying to say happened to Ramsay's father(Roose Bolton)?!?!?!
There House is stronger than ever.
Is this from the first season? Or before?

You beat me to it.
I saw Kit in a billboard ad this morning for aftershave or something.
He has cut his hair. But not much, just a trim.
Hmmmmm
'SHAME' *rings bell*
Edit
As much as I love to hate Cersei, it was good to see her back to her smug self in the arms of The Mountain.
Btw The Mountain that rides is played by
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (that's easy for you to say) a 'strongman' competitor from Iceland.

You've reminded me that I LOLed when Qyburn said that FrankenMountain had taken a vow of silence (or something like that). This guy probably can't act, and if he can his accent is atrocious.

The guy playing the Mountain is what's knows as a more purely "Physical Actor". Unfortunately, no acting schools can teach you to be massively large and strong in appearance. Based on that, I think his performances are quite good. After listening to his interview above, I wonder if he even delivers the few lines he's given himself or if they have a stand in (or 'voiceover') for that?
Like him I think it's too bad there wasn't a storyline where he and his brother battle off, I would vote for the Hound.
I think he's actually the second or third "actor" to play the part.

He's the third, and I agree his physical performance is fine. I should have qualified my comment to clarify that I don't believe he could deliver convincing lines.
Naturally, I would get someone else to pass the word along.
