Battle of The Snows (Game of Thrones)

Tweet

How many of you “Game of Thrones” fans out there have dreams that are nothing but “Game of Thrones”? That is me. This week’s episode left many of us pleased and happy. I think that was the first night I actually slept more than an hour or two. Remember, this discussion might have spoilers. I am so pleased with the way the ended things in this week’s episode. I also loved the battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton (Snow). How awesome was that? We got to see an epic battle. Which isn’t unheard of in the “Game of Thrones” world, but this was one of the best I have seen. In fact, this is one of the few episodes of any show in general to get 10/10 stars. This episode had too many amazing things in it. So let's go with the highlights. Let us start off by talking about the meeting between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton. How awesome was it that they included Lady Lyanna of House Mormont. This little girl, who happens to be Bella Ramsey, more than likely has made her mark in Hollywood. I predict that she will be bigger than ever after this. This is actually her first role. The next awesome part of this episode would have to be Yara and Theon Greyjoy meeting up with Daenerys and Tyrion. It is as though we are finally seeing everything come together and this scene was all about girl power. Another part, which would be one of the more horrible parts, was Rickon Stark not zigzagging. I am guessing that Ramsay didn’t torture Rickon enough for him to actually know Ramsay like’s to play games. So we can’t completely blame Rickon, but still. He ran in a straight line as Ramsay was shooting arrows at him. Do something Rickon! Duck, roll, dance like a chicken, but never run in a straight line! As much as I hated Ramsay, he is smart. I honestly loved his team’s tactics and hope that Jon’s side learned a few things. Luckily Littlefinger’s troops came in and saved the day. Let’s go back now and thank Lady Lyanna and her men. Remember that shield Jon Snow picks up after “Wun-Wun” is killed? (Let’s take a moment to mourn this lovable giant’s death) That shield has the Mormont bear sigil painted on it. If Lyanna said “no to helping Jon and Sansa out, we may not have Jon Snow anymore. And that was an awesome scene with him punching the daylight out of Ramsay, but I am glad that he let Sansa finish him up. Finally, the scene that was the frosting on the cake? Ramsay Bolton’s death. He had mentioned that he hadn’t fed his hounds in 7 days. Thankfully, Sansa remembered that. He thought his dogs would still be loyal, well maybe if you didn't train them to eat people but all his dogs knew was just that and in the end he painted and wrote his own fate. We Will not miss him, but that means that there is room now for a new villain and normally those are worse.
