Spoiler alert
So, with the exception of the last scene with Hodor I was thinking this season was kind of boring...until I watched episode 9, Battle of the Bastards, last night. (HBO Now was out of service Sunday night, go figure). I watch a lot of Medieval battle-type stuff and this one tops the list. It was FREAKING AMAZING!!! I think Miguel Sapochnik should go down in the director's history books because this was just a different pov from any other battle I've seen.
And, Sansa's smile as she walked away from Ramsey was...I don't even have words for that! At first I'm like, "#### yeah you go girl!", but then I felt kind of sad that she's becoming corrupt. It was her first kill and I have mixed emotions about it.
And, the dragons! They are, to what is in my mind, more realistic than any others I've seen. Usually dragons in movies or shows are somewhat campy or unrealistic, but whomever the VFX is who is responsible for these things deserve a hearty hurrah for making dragons truly ugly and bad ass!
Why are you people not talking about this???

The horses colliding was amazing…I found a spoiler last week that magnified the note Sansa wrote and sealed with wax…I knew it was written to Littlefinger and started to question if he was going to show and save the day or not. He’s better than Ramsey but I’m not sure by how much.

I missed the note so wasn't expecting it. I was thinking Jon Snow was going to die and thought there was no way the writers would do that to us again, but then I realized if they're writing in the same vein as Martin they most certainly would -- and then the Vale showed up to save the day!
I know Littlefinger is up to no good but can never figure out his plan. With this story you never know, maybe they'll make all his actions for altruistic reasons in the end.

Sansa has always had a bit of a mean streak. Remember how she used to treat Arya? I actually think her and Little Finger are a perfect match.

Yeah. You're probably right and they will becomes some sort of mischievous powerhouse couple. She was spoiled and naïve, but now she's calculated. It started when she was in the Vale and lied for Littlefinger and then sewed for herself that raven-type dress.

I finally got around to watching it last night.
And HELL YEA! What an episode.
I like the fact that all these women are becoming bad ass bitches.
I was kind of hoping someone would torture Ramsey a bit more than that. I think he got let off too easy.

Season finale set up a ton of different stories.

He's not going to finish them, so if you're sticking to the books only you're done. And btw, it wasn't a 20 year old who was nursing but a kid who was like maybe 7 or 8, which is still squicky. I don't know anyone who didn't cringe at that scene.

Really? Everything that I've read/seen said he's currently working on the last 2 simultaneously, they just have no time table for release.

It keeps getting pushed back. Last time it was January of this year, IIRC.
Each book is estimated to be something like 1,500 pages long. It takes time.
