Considering that if Bran is in the series next season, it is going to be full of book spoilers, I won't be watching next season. I really wanted this episode to be great and it just fell short. LS is something I didn't need to see, but I wanted some foreshadowing--Arya's dream?--anything. There were some great moments, but for what is essentially my last foray into the show until Winds of Winter comes out, I just wanted something special and I didn't feel like I got that. I thought the scene with the child of the forest throwing fireballs was downright laughable.

I thought this was a strong episode. I hope Neil is just their go to for battle episodes! I loved the scythe! Great addition. I thought the changes were actually beneficial in this episode, but I don't particularly like Jon walking out alone to meet with Mance. But, let's hope it's somewhat interesting. I was really hoping to see a certain person. I don't want to include spoilers, but I really wanted to see the end of this battle like it occurred in the books, but I understand the size and scope of such a thing in ONE episode. Whew, I'm rambling. Good episode. Like a breath of fresh air after the previous episode's disappointments.
