6 episodes into the new season and we havent resurrected this thread? For shame!
Surprised at how fast they seemed to come out at. It is weekly but it only feels 2weeks ago or so it started.

Well the first 4 episodes were leaked on the first week, so maybe it was that.
Winter has come.

Well, it was about time, if I may say so. However, winter continually looks less and less frightening, with various metals gradually being added to the list of whitewalkericides.
I wonder if the wights murdered by a fiery chap can be resurrected again by the White Walkers. Or is Lazarus just a one-time trick?
I dont think that the wights being killable by regular metals are a problem, them being replacable yet dangerous cannon fodder and all. The WW themselves still seem immune to everything that isnt related to dragons, be it dragon glass or valyrian steel, and as long as they survive a theoretically infinite amount of wights can be made.
I think the ability to resurrect directly corresponds to the body itself; if the skeleton is still intact they can be resurrected but if the skull is smashed or enough limbs are removed the WW either cannot bring them back, or wouldnt want to bother making crippled troops. The question I have is: without craster still giving them children can the WW still replace thier own losses?

Im fairly certain they blew their entire special effects budget in that last, awesome battle scene. Great episode!

Was I the only one who was rooting for that Wildling woman to survive? I was thinking at first they would bring her in as a Ygritte 2.0, but my hopes were soon dashed upon the rocks.

Those were exactly my thoughts, so I was really relieved when she was murdered by the creepy children. Hollywood-style romance has no place in Game of Thrones, in my opinion.
Also, I know it is more probable that Martin just forgot him, but I have a feeling that Benjen Stark is going to play an important role, later. It is rather suspicious that he hasn't been seen to be a member of the wight army. The director would love to force Jon to "kill" his uncle in a desperate and tragic fight.
I haven't been as glued to the set as previous seasons. Don't get me wrong...this season has still been very good, IMO, but there's far more jumping around and less grab-you-by-the-throat episodes (think "Mountain and The Viper"). In all fairness, there's more characters to follow, and it's difficult if not impossible to cover everything in 10 one-hour episodes.
Yep, the Hardhome battle was good, but.....can't touch the drama of "The Watchers on the Wall" battle (which I would put in the same class as Peter Jackson's "Battle of Helm's Deep").
All-in-all, still high class viewing.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I can sympathize with a favorite 'book' character being totally rewritten by screen writers (I haven't read any of the Song of Ice and Fire books), as it happened with a book series I am quite fond of..."The Sword of Truth" where the central character was completely rewritten from start to finish including his personal appearance (apparently, having the central character be a slender, ripped-looking swashbuckler instead of the burly, soft-spoken woodsman in the books, was more appealing to the ladies). However....
.....what sells books and makes for good reading, doesn't necessarily make for ratings when moved to the screen. Thrones needed to introduce a bit more "shock" factor that's mostly been missing this season, and Shireen was it.
