Also agreed. Too many storylines. I was a few years behind on the show and was able to binge watch, which was great. Now it takes way too long to get anywhere. I guess that's true with a lot of series though.


Wish they'd quit killing the wolves too

But help me out here: Who was it young Ned slew in front of the tower? And who stabbed him in the back? I think I have to watch it again.

Arthur Dayne, the greatest knight/warrior of that time ... and the back stabber was Howland Reed, Ned's bannerman, the only other survivor of that fight, who lives still to this day, and is the father of the female warrior who is with Bran.

One of my great disapointments in the show is you never really got the importance or presence of the wolves shown. They are much more present, and awesome, in the books, and I wish the show explored that more, but the CGI budget is what has held them back on that front.

Thanks, guys! That part went a little fast for me, or maybe I was distracted by eating ice cream.

I was going to say the same thing. I suspect they

The Night's Watch Vow:

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

John Snow has completed his vows and is a free man.

Poor children. I never saw that coming

One plot line I find especially trying is the evil Ramsey story. I have read too many books (and watched too many movies) where the evil serial killer/sociopath gets away from all kinds of evil stuff without getting caught. Then in the last 20 pages or the last 20 minutes the bad guys gets what he deserves. In short it bugs me that Ramsey is so lucky in his evil........

I rather have the ice cream, it was pretty boring

What is the point of Bran's visions into the past? Why is the old man in the tree showing him these things?
