as a show watcher, i give the episode a 8/10. as a book reader maybe a 6/10.
pros
-stannis getting to the wall was well executed
-lannisters taking Ls is always a pro
-arya is headed to braavos
-bran is gonna learn his true powers
cons
-stannis getting to the wall was well done, but fukk how u gonna tell us all season the wildlings have 100,000 man army and then show like 20 dudes with mance and have that battle be over in 20 seconds
-leaving out tyrion and jamie's conversation before he helped him escape was a mistake to me and leaves too many questions as to why tyrion would risk freedom to go see tywin.
-the hound and arya leaving the eerie like nothing is kind of dumb to me too
-they made the 3 eyed raven look like an old man who got stuck in a tree instead of how he really looks
that plus the whole fireball shooting children of the forest and skeleton army was a little too corny for me. could have easily had bran and company get attacked by a white walker like sam and then have the children stab it with an obsidian dagger or shoot obsidian arrows at it.
still, i hate to sound like a book fakkit. it was good. show is still GOAT status to me.
that was GRRM trolling book readers. nikkas had a theory about jojen and the show put that shyt to the death. kind of like there was a theory about robb's wife being pregnant with his heir. in the books she never goes to the wedding, some ppl say she pregnant some ppl say she not. so the show killed that theory by having them stab her in the stomach over and over 
. I understand not wanting shyt spoiled but this is some next level bytchmade shyt by some of you whiny posters.
