Now that I'm more awake.....


Kudos for Kit Harrington bringing the emotions of Jon Snow right before, during, and after the battle. I wasn't sure what to expect but he brought it. He made Jon Snow's rage, despondency, fear, hate, and resignation so real you could feel it through the television. He is not the same Jon Snow that "knew nothing" anymore. I think Ygritte would be proud of how he handled it all. The only kink is he did play into Bolton's hand when he went after Rockin instead of remaining calm and letting the original battle plan happen. But you can't really blame him.


Either Sansa didn't know for sure Littlefinger would come through for her or she is a total idiot for not telling Jon about them coming. If she knew and had told him, they may still have been late but the men already there would have known back-up was coming and that would have done much for morale.


I try to like Dany but I just can't. Everything about that storyline was fine but I still can't seem to like her.


Overall it was a great episode and the first one I've seen non-streaming and on a new HDTV. I'm in upstate NY visiting family and they have cable and this new TV. Even on our best day with internet Netflix and Amazon don't look as clear as what they have here. Also, our HDTV is almost 10 years old. What a difference! So yeah, GREAT episode to watch with cable and a new TV.
