I think this was my favorite battle scene. It didn't have big names or long-lasting 1:1 duels, but the cinematography was astounding. It was brightly lit, had huge expansive wideshots that made you feel the scope of it all, and the "action-cam" in the middle was Saving Private Ryan-esque.

The previous big battles Blackwater/Castle Black were both darkly lit and felt small since they focused the action to the walls and opening gates so it felt like they were fighting in a box.

Is this the first episode where every set got a W?

StarkSet has Arya training up, SnowMan lookin' like the chosen one, and Sansa now has a quest open to get the youngstas.

TargSet just signed the #1 free agent Lil TyTy to cover their most glaring weakness of actually having a strategy.

StannisSet, not much coverage, but Ramsey's press offense might actually help them since sieging a castle in the dead of winter wasn't looking good last week.

Lannisters got Uncle Kev running the show, Cersei locked up, and TomTom wetting the bed, the leadership has never looked brighter.

The newly minted WhiteWalkerSet just absolutely flexed on everyone. In battle, deaths are certain and weaken mortal armies, but this only multiplies their numbers. Every battle for them is a win no matter what since the availability of dragons, dragon glass, and valyrian steel are limited. Their numbers are growing faster than the 2015 Cavaliers fanbase.

Even TheonSet caught a little W letting Sansa know about Bran/Rickon.

Realistically the only L served was to Jorah, but in his mind it's a W since he gets to prove himself for the Queen once again.
