Don't want to say because they might touch on that this season.
I don't think this is too spoilery, just a book detail that's not alluded to in the adaptation...
At several points, in the fourth book IIRC, there are reports of a pack of wolves wreaking havoc in the Riverlands, post Red Wedding. The commonly held belief that Nymeria is leading the pack. A theory is that Arya is even unknowingly warging into Nymeria (she has dreams about being a wolf and leading a pack). None of this is explicitly laid out, but there are plenty of hints.

Brienne of Tarth is such a bad ass.

I actually cheered her name loudly when she came riding up out of nowhere to save the day. I suppose it was just a little predictable. But still... she's my hero. One day she'll bite the dust just like everyone else does. That one'll hurt bad.
I'm always torn. I'm a book reader and have just watched snatches of the show. Both are very well done... But I think the "good guys always get screwed" is very close to being an anti trope. There isn't much balance right now.

Commenting in a GOT thread with simply "Hodor!" is so 2014.

1st EP in a season is usually kind of slow. There's a lot of "hey remember this" that they have to drag out just so everyone's up to speed.
While I generally agree with that, I'm also wondering if it's because they now have an end date and have to move the characters around the board a lot in order to get everyone where they need to be for the end of the story.
I felt that the scene between Daenerys and Khal Moro was basically a subtextual conversation between the show's producers and its audience: "We have heard from you, and from this moment on the show will be less rapey."
I thought the show had just the right amount of rapeyness. Hope you're wrong.
Then it must be one of the only shows you find "satisfying"?
That said, the producers' response to no rape in this scene seems to be, "OK, those women who don't get raped have to live out their lives in sexless solitude together" and that sends its own message.
as they figure out a way to keep the internet sjw's pounding away angrily at their keyboards over a fictional TV show, I'll be happy.
I like things that make silly people angry.
So... at the end of season 5, when Sansa and Theon jump from the high castle wall... was there a big fluffy mattress to catch them down below? How is it that Myranda dies instantly when Theon pushes her over... but he and Sansa jump from the top of the damn castle and are apparently uninjured? I'm dubious.
They fell from different points. Myranda fell into an interior courtyard onto a hard surface whereas Sansa and Theon jumped on the exterior into a snow bank. I'm not saying that Sansa / Theon living after their fall was necessarily believable, but I don't think you can compare it to Myranda's.
Fair enough. But not even a sprained ankle or something? Seems they would've at least shown the two of them landing...maybe a struggle to get up and moving or something. It's a stretch to go from jumping off a castle to running through the woods. Not such a big deal, really... just an observation.
I'd prefer that they continue to skip the needless scenes and get through more story that way. We already know they survived; why show it?
I guess to a2 GoT would just be way more realistic if Sansa was at least limping or something...?
I found it further fetched that them not dying of hypothermia after being neck deep in river water than jumping off the wall. and where the fuck did all the dogs go?
