They're cool and powerful, but kind of dumb compared to the rest of the characters. Think about Tywin Lanister and what his death meant. What he meant to the Lannisters themselves. Such a great character (and amazing actor)

But I digress. This was a great battle, conclusive, and glad they're moving on from the Zombies. I think it will get REALLY good for the rest of the season.

Is that really the end of the NK and WW? I've obviously got the opposite preference to you and find that the most interesting part of the show and a lot of the other stuff pretty bland. This whole time I've been rather hoping they would end up just slaughtering everyone and making all the whiny fighting over the throne completely moot. I'm a bit behind as I haven't had the time to watch anything in a while but it sounds like they glossed over a bunch of things they spent ages building towards which is a little odd.
