Really good episode I thought. Some storylines that have been dull are starting to bubble up nicely, and you can see lots of big big events shaping up towards the end of this season.
Anyone a bit annoyed with Bran?
No, because its just a fictional television program.
You seem fun!
That ending though, bought a tear to the eye. Farewell big feller, you went out like a champion.
Another really good episode, with the North of the Wall stuff best of all.
If you haven't read the books, or don't want to be potentially spoiled don't highlight the bit below:
I think Coldhands/Benjen Stark will be making a return next week, helping Bran and Meera back south to the Wall. The mark on Bran's wrist will enable the Night's King to get past the Wall's Magic, as with the Weirwood tree. If Coldhands is not Benjen in the TV series, could it be a reanimated Hodor?
Also, House Manderly was mentioned, which could be very interesting.
Is the hold the door thing in the books? Because it seemed like a bad pun that evolved into a retrofitted explanation rather than something in keeping with the show's previous 'based on the books' episodes.

It's not but apparently GRRM told the showrunners that's what it meant.
