I'm stunned that the showrunners considered the Battle of the Bastards to be their "Best Writing Emmy" nomination, instead of the Hodor stuff in "The Door" or the Cersei stuff in the season finale.

Kind of shows their priorities; it's like the god damned Star Wars Prequels: "ignore the plot and focus on the massively expensive battle sequence!"

Did not expect Margaery Tyrell to die, though I get the feeling they wouldn't just make up her death in the show, it must be from the books.

Funny that Marei is still alive.

Overall I'm annoyed that they never had the Northern vassal Houses turn against Ramsay Bolton - that's a major thematic point.

Less annoyed about Sansa's actions in episode 9 now - apparently she just plain didn't know and didn't want Jon to blame her for not accepting Littlefinger's offer the first time.

Instead ....did they focus it all on a speech by Lyanna Mormont? And I love Lyanna Mormont but....why is she the only female leader? The new head of House Cerwyn is a woman in the novels. What is this, the Smurfette principle? Battle of the Bastards will forever be my favorite. The Winds of Winter was kinda disappointing. Boo Hoo Cersei is being shoved in the corner, so she resorts to her stash o' wildfire, and burns everyone at the Great Sept (poor Margaery). And to think that Tyrells actually SAVED Lannisters from Stannis at the Blackwater.

I hope this bitch Cersei is killed next season and preferably the 1st episode by Jaime, Arya Daenerys... whoever I don't care as long as the MAD QUEEN bitch dies and meets her significant other The Mad King in hell!!
