Contrived, cringey "I'll take you with me!" Hollywood gernade sacrifice scene (In a fucking fantasy series). And why was the Dire Wolf Summer suicidal, aren't those animals suppose to be smart? He literally just jumped into his death knowing full well he would die despite not a single thing he did stalled or delayed them. Same with Leaf really, she should have just planted the damn thing or try to cause a cave in by placing it on the side instead of suicide. I'm sure she's more useful then the other girl. I got a feeling this was D&D's way of saving a few extra bucks by not having additional CGI in regards to Summer.
Also 'Hold the door' is probably the dumbest piece of writing so far. I dunno, maybe I'm just cynical, but the idea that he was destined to hold a door because Bran warged him in the past is ridiculous and goofy. Time travel paradox in general should not be used in this series, I thought these were just visions.
And let's not forget, the Nightwalkers (Others in the book) were made by the 90's Star Trek costumes. This was the biggest disappointment so far. This fearsome evil race of beings were made by magical plant children. I was hoping they would eventually announce that The Great Other created them. For those who don't know who this god is:
http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Great_Other A god of darkness, cold, and death would make a lot more sense on so many levels especially since he's suppose to be the enemy of R'hllor, the Lord of Light who Melisandre worships and has been trying to prepare Westeros for the invasion by the Whitewalkers by finding the reborn Azor Ahai.
