Definitely. Ramsey even stated before the battle to Jon that he already has built quite the reputation but after this battle, Jon Snow has reached immortal legend status in the North.
Agreed...Sansa seems to be turning back into the prissy little princess from season 1. She kept mentioning how she is a true Stark and Rickon is a greater threat that Jon because he isn't a b*stard.
1. Dany - proceeded as expected. Except Greyworms badass execution. Loved it. Scene with Yara and Theon was nice. Tyrion holding a grudge against Theon was kind of amusing. 2. Jon. Overly emotional. He is a secondary character now. As are all the males. His end result will be Danys F***boy. Er husband IMO. Poor emotional "right" decision which killed Rob, Ned and almost him. I wanted more hand to hand with him and Ramsey 3. Ramsey. My favorite villain. I grew to love to hate him. He had layers and was smart. But falling into a fetal position in hand to hand was pathetic and annoying. 4. Sansa. She has learned FINALLY what Little Finger has been teaching. Manipulate. Withhold knowledge until it suits you. Hold the cards and know your enemy. She finally playing the game and not being stupid. Was willing a sacrifice both brothers. Nice! Hang on fellas cause from now on every night is lady's night! Sansa, Dany, Cersei, Margery, Arya, Mormont, Yara, Rocket River I think the books are finished and G R R was concerned this turn would make the fanboys nerd rage.
I disagree. That scene showed some depth in her understanding of the workings of the world they live in. Rickon was the last (known) male highborn Stark, and had a claim to the North by birth right. John being a Snow, and Sansa being married to Ramsey makes both their claims tenuous at best. they are definitely taking her in a darker direction..I wouldn't classify her demeanor as "prissy-ness", but the way she carries herself is an outward expression of her dignity and rank. Much the same way Cersei carries herself...
The prissy little princess did just save the day by writing to Littlefinger (although at what cost?). The prissy little princess did just feed someone to dogs, albeit someone quite deserving. She was just stating the truth about lineage. Legitimate white male direct descendant first. Ditto female second. Illegitimate "heir"? Someone will always challenge the claim.
They never really established Ramsay as much of a fighter; more of a torturer and bully. The most he ever did in something resembling an actual fight was lead a group to torch some of Stannis' stuff off screen before their invasion, and I don't remember them mentioning Ramsay himself actually doing anything. IMO it would have been odd to see him challenge Jon at all, who is about as experienced and skilled a fighter the show has to offer.
Did he? OK. I don't remember him doing a lot of sword fighting during that sequence. Did he take out a lot of Iron Born? I thought he just defended himself and then released to hounds. Either way, you're right in that this was an actual fight he was involved in. I had forgot about it.
Great episode... probably best hour of tv i have ever seen. Next week should be awesome... Spoiling what I think will happen next week. Spoiler In previews, we see Bran.. I think we'll get the conclusion of ToJ and R+L=J will be heavily hinted at. At Winterfell, the few remaining troops will rally behind Jon. None of this Sansa vs Jon nonsense. KL should be interesting with Cersei going cray cray and probably burn red keep to the ground with wildfyre. Bunch of people will die here.. High Sparrow/Sparrows, Tommen, etc. We probably will see a bit of Dorne, unfortunately
I don't see Sansa surviving the whole series. She's acting too much like a Baelish and not at all like a Stark or Tully. I would be surprised if that didn't blow up on her face. EDIT Also I'd say there's a 0% chance that the rumor Cersei had confirmed last week isn't the stockpile of wildfire, since it was mentioned again this episode.
I think they're going Bruce Wayne in Dark Knight Rises. Jon doesn't care if he dies anymore. Wants to die. Something might light that spark in the future.
