I'm still waiting to see Nymeria again (not the retarded sandsnake). I even named my dog Nymeria irl

Yeah that was the first and so far the most shocking moment. As a reader we get this warm comfort of knowing what's going to happen, or seeing small differences and saying smugly, 'That's not how it happened IRL.'. But when the Night's King rolled up like Frost Maul with a posse 12 deep and started rezzing babies it was totally out of left field and none of us were prepared for it. It was shocking for non-readers too, but not in the same way.
Nymeria (the sand snake version) is the 2nd hottest one, right? We could use more of her, too.I'm still waiting to see Nymeria again (not the retarded sandsnake). I even named my dog Nymeria irl

No. People haven't been rezzed since Beric Dondarrion and Thoros. Melisandre was seen with them so briefly non-readers probably don't remember the connection between them. I'm sure there will be a 'last time on GoT' to explain it.
There is, however, a very real chance that Jon Snow is as dead as Robb and Eddard. People don't wnat to believe that, but it'd be the third time a Stark male has taken on the mantle of hero in the show and gotten wasted partially because of his sense of honor making him dangerous enemies..

Jon isn't dead. If he does end up Ron/Ned level dead, Gurrm changed the direction afterwards out of spite.

He's still a Stark even if he's also a Targaryen, and the Lyanna/Rhaegar theory is the only theory I've seen where Ned isn't his father.

To me its also the most sound theory... so that means GRRM will say "NOOO!!! Now I have to come up with something no one has guessed!" and come up with some really crazy off the wall crap.. hell I think that's why he has not spat out the recent book yet.

i think its unlikely jon will be dead dead in the TV SHOW, for just one reason, sets are expensive and they have been re-using the same stuff for like 5 years now and since so much important shit is yet to take place over at the wall they need a pov character over there. you might say sam, well i think sam will be leaving for oldtown before too long (maybe next week?) so they gotta keep somebody on hand. i just hope that whatever they do, it makes sense.
thats whats killing this show for me, this week we had dany entering a fighting coliseum with almost no protection and stannis offering his own daughter for sacrifice for something minor like winterfelll. i can see him doing it for king's landing, or i can see a stark doing this for winterfell, but winterfell is just a one piece of the seven kingdoms, he cant rule from there and he has no claim to it other than conquest. really disappointed in how they handled that episode.

Are you serious? I haven't even watched the episode, but it seems clear from the comments that HE WAS GOING TO FUCKING DIE. So yes, in fact, he's burning Shireen for King's Landing and all the rest of Westeros, not just Winterfell.

I believe she showed the leeches to show how much power came from such a little amount of blood. Sacrificing Shireen was a lot more blood and we don't know what the outcome of that is.

Well, I think it was a do or die moment for Stannis. He basically had three choices:
1. Go into exile with his family / take the black and hope his family is taken care of by some lord.
2. Make a suicide seige and all his men and entire family die.
3. Kill Shireen and hope Melisandre is right.
4. Retreat to Castle Black where he and his family will likely stay until the Doomsday winter is over.
So even though it was just Winterfell, his justification is strong. What isn't shown is how he thinks he can go from Winterfell to anywhere. He might be able to take Winterfell and the Lords of the North will thank him as he kills Ramsay and leaves Sansa in charge, but he's not going to be able to enlist the North to go attack the South. There's no breaking moment where all of a sudden he has a force that can take King's Landing. That ended at the Battle of Blackwater.
Cgi was pretty decent for a show up until the flight scene, as others have said.
Regardless, that scene needed Russell Crowe, not cgi to make it great.

what are you responding to? i said winterfell is only one of the seven kingdoms, its a big place geographically, but otherwise its not a worthy effort in murdering your only child, he wasnt going to die, he sent davos back to the wall for supplies, we know he was just sending him away so he wouldnt try to stop stannis from killing shireen, but he also needs supplies, the red god could thaw out the weather maybe?
ok so what if he can, he still has to march to winterfell and siege it with no food or siege weapons. even if you have a mcdonalds and a cabelas sitting right outside the wall, unless you have a way to destroy its fortifications and men inside, you will still die. his best bet was to start back to castle black, or find an ally who hates the boltons to hole up with or not even go to winterfell at the start of winter in the first place.
