Young Ned said the same thing to young Benjen last night.
I knew I heard that line before.

I know it was kind of predictable as the internet has been talking since the end of season 5 that Jon is coming back, but they pulled it off pretty great.
Great episode.

^There is a lot of stuff in there that wouldn't be known to show watchers.
Sorry, I've edited out the latter part. They haven't said his name on the show, but they announced the role awhile back and named the actor, and after he revealed his face I thought it would be OK.

In the end it hardly gives anything of importance away, but people can be awfully touchy about spoilers.

His name is listed in the credits...I wouldn't consider that a spoiler. The credits are a part of the show. Better safe than sorry though.

Coworker says they went from red to something dark (black/brown)
I'll have to watch it again
Just rewatched it... No, they're red the whole time.

The closing credits in the show don't give his (or any character's name). If you go to the HBO Game of Thrones website, his character's name is there.
Does it really matter if you know his name or not? From the episode, we know all the important stuff about him: He's Balon's brother who has been away from the Iron Islands for a long time. His name is known and feared throughout the seagoing part of the world. He lost his mind at some point and had to be restrained by his own crew, who he rewarded by cutting out their tongues. Now, he has returned to the Iron Islands to claim the throne from his brother.

That could perhaps be a bit ambiguous from the scene alone, but I get your point.

What an eventful episode! I knew the death of Balon Greyjoy was coming (stupid spoilers talking about how the Iron Islands select a new leader this season) and expected Roose Bolton to die but didn't think any of it would happen in Episode 2. Also, the final scene was done very well. The way Ghost reacted made me think Jon's soul was kept alive in his direwolf but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Although the Iron Islands seems like a horrible place to live I appreciate their democratic leadership process. Here's to hoping Westeros becomes a Federal Republic or at least a Constitutional Monarchy by the end of the series.
Also, to bring up the only boring part of the episode, Braavos, did anyone else get a bit of a Fight Club vibe from that scene? I was half expecting Jaqen to ask Arya if she had two pairs of black shirts, two pairs of black pants, one pair of combat boots, two pairs of black socks, one black jacket and $500 cash to cover burial fees.
