Ed Sheeran scence seemed like a pop culture sell out. Same with the top knot joke. Plot was generally underwhelming and doubly so for the lack of male nudity.
I read the books but it's been long enough that I can't remember the difference between the book and show plot lines and now just have no clue what's going on.
I thought Arya poisoning all those inbred Frey's was the tits. Also always fun seeing the Hound have deep meaningful conversations with Thoros. I give it a 7/10. Typical intro episode to get everyone positioned for the shit to come.
Oh yeah, also loved seeing the Night's Watch let Bran pass the wall, ensuring the death of all humanity.
Not burned. Greyscale. Horrifying slow death. #awesome
"Stone Men? Good luck stopping the spread of Greyscale with prayer. You'd have better luck dancing away the plague." ―Tyrion Lannister[src]
Greyscale, also known as "Prince Garin's curse"[1], is a dreaded and usually fatal disease that can leave flesh stiff and dead, and the skin cracked and flaking, and stone-like to the touch. Those that manage to survive a bout with the illness will be immune from ever contracting it again, but the flesh damaged by the ravages of the disease will never heal, and they will be scarred for life.
Princess Shireen Baratheon caught greyscale as an infant and survived, but the ordeal left half of her face disfigured by the disease.[2]
People afflicted by the disease are often called "Stone Men", due to how it makes their skin hard and dead.[3] Stone Men are often exiled from society to live in ruined cities in Essos, such as Old Valyria.[4]
@Gladstone would be proud of the level I have nerded out on this show.
My unfettered love of @Swaye 's ability to nerd out has long been on record. I liked the episode a lot. Mostly.
- Wondering how long it will take for Bran to realize this whole thing revolves around Littlefingers scheming, and how long Littlefinger will let Bran live once he discovers the kid is clairvoyant.
- Jon and Sansa butting heads was kind of expected. Sansa under mining Jon in front of the other Lords and Ladies was out of line and reminds me of Vito scolding Sonny in the Godfather about "never speaking your mind in front of anyone that isn't family." I did like how Sansa pointed out how Robb and Ned were good men but made stupid mistakes costing them their lives. It makes sense that Sansa's attitude and demeanor about the world has changed just given all she has been through.
- Not sure what gift Euron is referring to. Tyrion? A dragon's head? One of the sand snakes? Olenna Tyrell?
- Best stuff of the ep was everything with The Hound and the BWB

Isn't there some sort of powerful thing that can kill dragons or some shit? Maybe that is the gift?
I also wonder if there was anything to some of the pages we saw when Sam was looking in the book at his building. He just skimmed over one page, but they made sure to show it.
MVP: Arya "tell them Winter came for House Frey" Stark
Best scene: Hound/Berric/Thoros convo
Best one liner: Euron Greyjoy - 2 good hands
Feminist award: Little Bear - womyn gonna fight white walkers AND the patriarchy!
Dumb fuck award: Lord Royce - the guy that wants to waste time tearing down perfectly good castles in the middle of winter to send a message to an already defeated enemy that only fucks the North in the ass w/r/t fighting the REAL threat.

So it hasn't been mentioned in the series but there is some kind of Dragon horn Euron has that can control the dragons. Am I wrong? Its been a while since I've read the books.

In the books yeah, but no mention in the show. Even in the books it's a rumor, it's not like he ever got to test it.
The only thing I took from that episode was that I want to fuck Emilia Clarke.
And has it seriously taken 7 seasons for her to land on westeros. Good God.
And from my understanding from the books is that euron is supposed to be a badass and his brother is supposed to be huge. Euron looks like the hipster guy at a def poetry slam sesh.
1. Thought it was pretty funny they decided to throw a 2 minute long poop montage in. Just a giant fuck you to everyone hoping for a Hardhome type episode. Nope we got fat Sam and lots of literal shit for you instead.
2. Wouldn't be surprised if Arya decided to murder Ed Sheerans gang of Lannisters always. As the great Connor Macgregor once said, "I'm a cold cunt", and Arya after her act of mass murder definitely fits that description at this point.
3. John Snow and Sansa will try to kill each other or fuck each other by the end of the season. Maybe both.
4. Euron Greyjoy is gonna be fun to watch.
5. Everything bad that has happened to the people on this show is related to Bran being a dumb bitch. Peeping tom, boom accidentally starts a war that gets the majority of his family killed. Warged when he wasn't supposed to and got marked and now is just going about ruining magical spells that protect humanity left and right. Made Hodor a retard. Is boring to watch on TV. Fuck you Bran.

Biggest WTF: zombie giants
Overall rating: 0/10 for no nudity

And arya should have killed those Lannister fags.

Need to go kill myself for writing this.
