Is it assumed that we talk spoilers on the most recently aired episode in here? And just do book spoilers in white? 'Cause I can fix it if that's not how it works.
Soooooo, Mom invited herself to watch with me tonight, which I kinda wish she hadn't because I kept spitting out exposition while trying not to miss dialogue. (She's seen zero episodes and knows nothing about this whole story.) It was kinda like this:
MOM: Hey, isn't that the guy who was on your Rolling Stone a few weeks ago?
ME: <GAH, stop making word noises, SWORDS ARE HAPPENING!> Yes, he's my favorite. <Dude, DUDE, don't say that out loud--he'll die now for sure!>
MOM: Oh, white wolf! Wolves are cool!
ME: YES, that's GHOST and he's AWESOME.
MOM: <More things about wolves and how they're awesome.>
ME: <OH GOD STOP TALKING YGRITTE'S SHOOTING AT PEOPLE AND I CAN'T TELL WHO BECAUSE MY GLASSES ARE UPSTAIRS SOMEWHERE.>
Also--Pyp! Grenn! Dammit, Martin! WHY?!!?! Was surprised to see Thorne go down, but I was just starting to like him, so I guess that's typical. Ygritte did not surprise me, but the way it happened did. I knew that was coming. Just . . . damn. That hurt. I was wondering if they'd somehow manage to give Jon/Ygritte a ~Special Moment~ in the middle of all the mayhem, and how--so ta for that, I guess? I'm very conflicted right now. Because I really,
really didn't like her as a character, but I get why Jon loved her, and that sucks for him. And I'm wondering if he's serious about killing Mance and whether or not it's the grief talking, and that makes me VERY nervous.
At the end-->
SAM: Jon? Come back?
ME:
WHAT HE SAID.
