So here’s my thoughts

Castle Black:

– I liked that Jon was genuinely messed up by what had happened to him.

– I liked Melisandre’s change of heart regarding the PWWP, and that Jon is being seen as a God is interesting.

– Jon executing his murderers and then leaving the NW very much answers that question, and sets him up to go lead Sansa’s army.

Oldtown:

– well, Sam’s going on a detour to Horn Hill, as expected. Interesting…

Tower of Joy:

– I was a bit underwhelmed by the staging of the fight itself, as I said on twitter. Ending it before we see Jon is a kind of hilarious tease, tho. 

– But Bran’s interactions were interesting…I wonder if we’re building to him going by himself into the past and finding out about Jons’ birth that way.

Vaes Dothrak:

– Eh. Underwhelmed by this whole storyline. 

Meereen:

– Loved Varys’ interrogation of the prostitute from last season. 

– Tyrion’s scene with Missandei and Grey Worm was a total waste of money. 

King’s Landing:

– finally starting to like this storyline, now that I see where things are going. Looks like Cersei and Jaime are planning to use Ser Gregor to assassinate the High Sparrow at either Cersei’s or Margaery’s trial. Definitely see a break between Cersei/Jaime/Qyburn and Kevan and the Tyrell.s

– Parents, tell your kids not to take candy from Qyburns.

Braavos:

– not sure why they didn’t just blend this with the previous scene of Arya getting her ass kicked, but it was good to see Arya learning the lying game, learning to poison by smell, and fight with her ears. 

The North:

– No scenes in Winterfell this week. Certainly no scene that slanders the Umbers by suggesting they’d stoop to Shaggydog murder.
