Well, Ep 9 of GOT went straight up cinematic. It was exactly what I was hoping the series would lead to, after some good friends convinced me to watch it, years ago.
While I know this thread says spoilers, I am still going to try and be spoiler sensitive as this episode had stuff people had been waiting years for.

I don't have much time right now to say much, but I find the biggest thing people tend to ignore is poor Rickon. I actually shrieked, although I knew Snasa was right.
Also this does put house Stark under murky inheritance. John is a bastard, Sansa and Arya are female and Bran, while he is the heir now, can he have heirs depending on the extent of his spinal injury?
Granted we all know someone is coming who is going to change all those rules, but the North does not know that yet. I hope someone does not make a huge mistake and marry someone just before those rules change (I am looking at you Sansa).
Also, I will say here a part of me wants Lady Lyanna Mormont to avenge her mother and "deal with" Walder Frey. Even though it's really the Starks who should get that vengeance.

i have tons more to say, but I got some work to do as I have a short term job right now.
Thank you to you guys here one of my offline friends for convincing me to watch GOT in the first place. In particular thanks to Sunny, who warned me not to get too attached to the characters and I did anyway. Damn you George R.R. Martin, Benioff and Weiss, you got me good. (Although I will admit Benioff and Weiss sometimes didn't get me. )
