Stunning episode tonight. It pretty much ran the gamut... from exhilarating to heartbreaking to perilous, all in just a matter of minutes.
Visually, this show has no peer, IMO. The aerial shots of the ranging party north of the wall were fantastic.
I'm not sure how a lot of this episode will hold up on repeated viewings, but damn, in the moment, it was great.

Random thoughts...
- Tormund dropping knowledge on Jon regarding pride... Mance Rayder was a great man. A proud man. The king beyond the wall, and never bent the knee. How many of his people died for his pride?
- Why is Jon trying to return Longclaw to Jorah before the mission is completed?
- Arya vs. Sansa — Throwing verbal haymakers at each other.
- The Hound and Tormund... I could listen to these two conversate all night.
- Beric and Jon. Great scene! I am the shield that guards the realms of men. Maybe we don't need to understand more than that; Maybe, that's enough?
- Dany delivers a savage attack on Tyrion... Perhaps, if you planned for the short term, we wouldn't have lost Dorne and Highgarden.
- Jon Snow 2 – White Walkers 0
- Sandor Clegane... Every lord I've ever met's been a c**t. Don't see why the Lord of Light should be any different.
- Dany mounting up to save the day. This time she's bringing the whole family.
- Tormund... Noooooooooooo! I almost cried.
- The Night King with the ultimate Hail Mary throw... he goes full-on Kordell Stewart, and strikes Viserion out of the sky. WTF?
- Uncle Benjen to the rescue! How was there no time for him to get on the horse though?
- Beric: We'll meet again Clegane. The Hound: F**king hope not.
- Jon Snow will bend the knee. Dany is brought to tears.
- When the wights pulled Viserion out of the water; where did the gigantic anchor chains come from?
- The Night King has a new mount...
