No talk of the most recent episode? One of the better episodes of the last two seasons.

Lots of new developments in the story and characters walking back from the edge of irrelevance into the core plot.

It looks like Theon will play the role of Victarion in the book. He'll be dispatched to take Daenarys' dragons with the dragon whistle by Euron. And that's how Dany will get her ships to cross the sea.

Still feel the Rickon story is a feign by the Umbers to bring Jon Snow into the fight for the north or to dislodge Ramsay from Winterfell and fight at the wall. I think we'll see the resolution of the Ramsay story this season and then the battle with the White Walkers will take up the whole northern story next season.

Arya will be making her way back to collect on the debts of the Iron Bank. She'll be the one to dispatch of Robert Strong I presume but not before Robert kills most likely Kevan.

Have to think Baelish is waiting for the right moment to moon door that kid and take the Vale as his own.

Really like how Dany didn't need the dragon to rule the Dothraki. That's a good plot element, she needs to emerge as the ascendant ruler under her own power not the power of her dragons or other characters. Scenes like that do a good job of establishing that without the long-form freedom that the novels have had.
