Newbie poster here, (non book reader, but long time viewer of the show). I was pretty gripped by the finale, there was almost too much going on. Loved Stephen Dillane in this episode, such a tragic character come the end. I don't get the criticism of Sansa & Theon jumping off a wall down into snow/no snow. The way I perceived it, they're perfectly willing to die that way rather than stay and get flayed. I was really rooting for Sansa these last few episodes, which is a first. Dorne was pretty lame all season, but at least it ended with a slight sting in the tail. Enjoyed Arya's revenge and the slowly placed and ominous House of B & W plot. And ended completely unexpectedly. Cersei's penance was fantastic. Dany meeting the Dothraki was ok. I initially assumed she took off the ring to disguise her betrothal to the Mereen guy, but that's probably not the case. I don't think Jon is dead, but that's a hunch based on Melisandre's return.
