Whoa, what just happened?
Not even going to discuss Hodor, because I'm sure everyone has already discussed it to death. Crazy ending to the episode, tears shed for both Hodor and Summer. I'm skeptical whether Hodor holding the door for three minutes would be enough to allow Meera (dragging Bran on a sled) enough time to escape from the 5000 wights who were chasing, but hey, I guess that's why it's called fantasy.
So we start with Sansa, who may be #theWorstStark or #theBestStark, not sure which. She's keeping secrets from Jon, planting ideas in his head about gathering up an army, and even compares him to Ramsay at one point. One could interpret it as her using Jon to regain her castle. She's learned her lessons from Littlefinger, whom she called on the carpet but didn't execute. Is it because she thinks he'll be a useful pawn later, or because he still has a hold on her? The producers hinted at both on the inside the episode.
Arya has a big decision coming up. Will she really be no one and follow instructions, or is this when she strikes off on her own? My prediction is she decides to run off, but has to overcome the Waif to get away. That feud has been simmering for long enough.
Euron stole the show at the Kingsmoot, and didn't even bother to deny that he killed his brother. All the Ironborn loved it. Funny, everyone else on the show gets hell for kingslaying or kinslaying, but on Pyke they give you a crown. Greyjoy is #theWorstHouse. Really interesting that Yara and Theon run away with the ships, what will they do, I wonder? Try to get to Dany first? Seems like the only play that makes sense, but what happens when they get to Mereen and the rest of the Iron Fleet shows up behind them? I don't see a rationale for them linking up with Jon Snow, and certainly not with the Lannisters, which might mean .... Dorne?
Oh yeah, and the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers. Wait ... what? Chew on that until next week.
