Spoiler: Animation is Expensive

I'm not holding my breath for that given that they: 1) killed off Summer and Shaggy Dog for no reason and 2) didn't show Ghost at all in the battle of the bastards for no reason... other than it is expensive to animate them, maybe? Or they just don't care. They've totally glossed over the connection between the kids and the wolves; but in their defense how do you relay that to the audience in the show?

Spoiler

Remember they freed up a sizable chunk of budget with the Green Trial scene... except more CGI next year

It kind of seems like they're setting up a possible feud between Sansa and Jon over the his recently-obtained title "King In the North." Sansa has hardened beyond the point of simply being a brave and tough young woman. You can see she feels less for people now and she's starting to develop her own ambitions. I don't think she'll sit idly by while Jon Snow takes the Stark throne.

Generally, I give young actors/actresses a pass on being unable to convey emotion.

That girl that plays the head of whatever, she is freaking amazing. Give her the crown and call it a day.

Yes exactly! Thanks.

First 15 minutes were amazing. The cinematography, the editing, the music, all of it.

Agreed. They did a great job building tension for something that everyone knew was going to happen. Expertly done.

They said for the BoB that it was either ghost or Wun-Wun and they chose the giant.

They chose wisely.

Spoiler: Margaery

I wonder what Margaery's plan was. I don't mind that it was all a setup.....I just wonder what she could have planned.

Spoiler: Margery

I wonder if it involved showing her boobs?

RIP, Margery's boobs.

Just go watch first season or two of The Tudors instead.

I thought her acting in the Sept trying to convince the Infiniti salesman that there was a problem was some of her best.

The Arya scene shocked me. I did not see that coming.

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

I feel bad for the Manderlys and the Martells... Two of my favorite families in the books completely nerfed and had their best moments given to other characters in the show..

 

[BUCKYLE]

The Manderly's especially.

please refresh my memory on the Manderly's. That name does not ring a bell. Also, I only read the first book.

Wyman Manderly serves the Boltons Frey Pies at the wedding of Ramsay and "Arya." The book-Manderly threads would have been needlessly confusing to add to the show because it would have introduced another dozen characters, including more Freys and Lannisters.

I liked the twist of giving the scene to Arya at The Twins. It sort of reinforces how she's co-opting little bits of intel from everyone she's encountering along the way over six seasons. She learned how to dismember a corpse from the Many-Faced God, and she learned how to bake a flaky pie crust from Hot Pie.
