You have a good point. They probably should have spread Jon & sansa's plot about getting others in the north to rally for them across a few episodes so as not to milk so much time in this one. I have a feeling a lot of this seasons twists and turns will be revealed in eps 9 & 10 though. I really hope they can pull it together and make the series end on a high note, because they have muddled in mediocrity for a little too long now.

Obviously everything is up to one's interpretation. I for one, thought this episode was pretty good, all things considered. I whole heartedly believe that the first episode this season was the worst that they have made. The entire episode was botched, and made me think that i should give up on the show. I'm glad that I didn't get up because it's got somewhat better since then.
