6x09 POST-Episode Discussion (airs 19th June)

First: I think I'm still high for seeing house bolton erased from the planet and this episode had me sobbing and cheering so this post may not make any sense.

I fucking loved it. The Mereen scenes with the dragons were amazing, the CGI has improved a lot and now Dany finally has a way to leave Essos. Plus she and Yara are totally gonna fuck.

The Winterfell battle was brilliant. Ramsay's mind games, Jon rushing into action despite Sansa's warnings, the brutality, I felt like I couldn't breathe while Jon was stuck and couldn't get up. All the people like who say the show glorifies violence should watch that scene. It's meaning was fucking clear as glass.

Poor Rickon. Of course Ramsay was waiting until the last moment, sadly, everyone saw it coming except Jon.

This episode was amazing and the reason it had me sobbing and cheering at the same time is because the Starks won, but the cost was huge.

But House Bolton is gone, gone forever, and that makes me soooo fucking happy-

I was really impressed with Dany's scenes in this episode. The CGI was miles better than Daznak's Pit. I could see why they wanted to keep that a surprise, even if we already could have predicted that she would use Drogon and Viserion and Rhaegal breaking out of the catacombs.

I'm using all my self-control to respect the non spoilery avatar rule, because I so want to have Jon destrying Ramsay's face as an avatar

Sansa's smirk as the dogs are eating Ramsey would also be another good avatar.
