Would have liked a little more theatrics behind the resurrection but all good now that Jon snow is alive
No, they teased that well enough. The end of the episode had me worried about blue balls.
Maybe the Umbers give up a fake Rickon? I agree that they should be the most staunch of Stark loyalists

I mean, the episode still sucked. Why should I suck it just because this episode totally redeemed itself?

The dead army winning and taking over the world.
That would be an absolute slap in the face of the readers. The freaking White Walkers killing everyone? That would be an absolute waste of decades of reading the series. quote:
Or Daeny taking over Westeros and restoring the Targaryen empire.
Jon living, and leading mankind into the Long Night does not keep this from happening. I fully expect Dany to restore the Targaryan dynasty in Westeros.

I hope Jon snow walks up to Ollie and gives him the business
Killing him might be a little mean. The kid was just misguided but he needs to learn a few lessons

You are always the one who says the good episodes suck and the shitty ones are awesome. You probably like the breaking bad fly episode as well. Stop trying to be a professional critic and snob
I mean, I hated "Watchers on the Wall", which I still totally stand behind, but I don't think I'm all that big of a snob. I give each episode the benefit of the doubt. All I demand that they have is substance to back them up. I demand substance and subtext to the things I like. This had it in spades, while the last episode was hot garbage.

Exactly, Jon is half targ

I also wish the dragons would eat Dany and then Arya, Tyrion and Jon would be the dragon riders

Book readers spent a good bit of time combing through these books to come up with R + L = J. Being pissed that Martin won't through the entire narrative arc of the books in the trash to be "unpredictable " is completely retarded.
The chances that everything ends hunky dory for the Starks are near zero since Martin has described the ending as "bittersweet." Stop complaining until something worth melting down over actually happens.

That was a Top 5 episode. GTFO.

R+L=J is more famous than that dribble Pythagorus wrote.
Predictable.
So What?
It's been hinted at since the wolf pups were found in AGoT.
Sheeeez.

Because every frickin year the first episode sets up TE entire season and is slow and people cry about how shitty the season will be, instead of just knowing that it'll still be fricking awesome if they have some damn patience
What did it set up though? Aside from Brienne joining with Sansa, I'll tell you: nothing. It set up nothing. It was a garbage episode and I bet that all of you would know exactly what was going on if you skipped that episode without watching previous clips. It was an awful episode.

quote:Why waste your time watching a show if you know what the end game is? At this point we all know Jon Snow can't be killed permanently and will kill all the white walkers. So his storyline is now boring. There's no point in watching his now, especially when they confirm that R+L=J.

To play devils advocate... This is a quote directly from GRRM.
This quote is arse backwards if the series continues down the road it appears to be traveling. I find it hard to believe that we aren't in for a huge change of direction.

"The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though.” – (GRRM, Rolling Stone)

In 99.9% of all fiction we consume (literature, movies, TV shows, etc) the bad guy loses. Yet people still consume fiction because they like good guys winning.

Them being written well enough to seem like a threat big enough to kill everyone is one thing (which GRRM, and especially D&D, has successfully done). It's a whole other thing to have them actually do it.

This single storyline has been discussed and theorized about for 5 years over and over again by everyone
There was no unpredictable way to go about it that made a lick of sense with the story. Put that at the feet of GRRM if you want to be mad at someone
