so obviously certain scenes will lack a punch for people who have been paying more attention to the foreshadowing (either online on on their own) or who have read the books (where things like R+L=J have been clear from the start).
That said, while it would be nice if the series was stretched over another season or two, they are dealing with real world practical limitations so I get it. Overall I thought the season was really strong for what it is. Not their fault that they ended up outpacing the books.
In particular, really enjoyed the scene with Theon and Jon - thought that was the best of it. Also excited to see Jamie join the other side finally.
