A satisfying, if slightly event-lite episode. It was rewarding to catch up with all the characters, and wonderful to have them all gathering at Winterfell. The Sam Tarly scenes were my personal highlight.
It was clever how they explained why Euron Greyjoy hadn't cut out Yara's tongue on a ship full of mutes, and I'm glad he hadn't!
The zombie-boy-limb-explosion was super-chilling and a perfect reminder that we are still in Game-Of-Thrones Country.
And Jamie arriving at the end, face to face with Bran was a perfect Cliff-hanger to end on!
My only concern was this: Would Cercei really go to bed with a herpes-ridden scum-bag when she could have any man she wanted? Especially as he had failed to deliver her elephants? Massively unbelievable.
