Still some gripes (Theon winning because he had no balls literally made me groan)

I will say this was super dumb but it's such an inconsequential part to the story it's like, eh

Would have been less idiotic and actually quite appropriate if he simply won them over by taking a massive beating and refusing to stay down. The writers on this show have absolutely lost all nuance.

Absolutely this. I wanted him to have a "Right, yeh've proven yeh got balls after all. We'll follow ye" moment.

Theon isn't a winner. He never has been. What he does have is finally resolving his internal conflict after 70 episodes, and nope gotta beat up some guy to seal the deal.


Littlefinger's death was dumb, not so much that it happened or how, but in that his character was sort of... wasted for the past three seasons. In retrospect, all of Winterfell this season has been about bringing the Starks back together, eliminating any possible conflict between them, and tying up a loose end (Littlefinger). But that's all he became... a loose end. Reduced to being a pretty single-layered character.

Those are my major gripes with the episode. Everything else was alright. But then again, nothing really happened that wasn't predictable.
