He also knows pretty well that he himself is a very bad fighter with a sword, but he runs straight into battle anyway.

Davos such an S tier sidekick I named my dog after him

It's Ser Davos. Show some God damn respect. Lol

running the archers into battle wasnt that smart, it allowed for the encirclement to happen

@@user-xn8po it was smart if they even got 1 kill. they were doing nothing in the back lines because they didn't want to shoot and kill their own men. Davos even says "we may as well be taking shits back here" because they quite literally did nothing in fear of killing their own men. Also, if they didn't go in when the encirclement was gonna happen it's possible the others that were out there just get slaughtered before Sansa and Little Finger even arrive. They bought themselves enough time for them to come save the day

lol you did math for this?

Yea…u DID do the math👏🏼👏🏼😂😂 It’s crazy cuz we can all do the math yet no one has until now 😂

Lady Mormont told no lies

@@NiKiMa023 Typing 1 divided by 62 into a calculator is pretty easy.

Mormonds are 10×1 ... so they had 620 manpower. Imagine 62 Ser Jorahs. The battle would be over yesterday.

The real question is how did a Mormont shield get in front of Jon for him to pick up if none of Jon's allies (mormont soldiers) were ever there to drop the shield? All of Jon's men were behind him or to the sides. That shield had no business being there unless it had been there before the battle started.

@@awadoma2702if you actually watched the scene he had a whole lot of men rush past him and a good number of them were shot up by the Boltons. Every single one of jon’s men were using a bow in the scene but maybe the Mormont soldier had a shield on their back.

I counted 21 punches the first time I watched this, as I was punching the sofa pillows as well! Satisfying.

YES! I also love the moment when you see on Jon's face that, as much as he hates Ramsey, he knows that this kill belongs to Sansa.

Kit said that Jon didn't want Sansa to have him killing a man with his bare hands, becoming a bloodthirsty beast like Ramsey, be the mental image of her brother. @@mclizzard2928

I hate it. Because Ramsey is literally smiling and laughing and loving it . He's getting off on the torment and it takes all the satisfaction and punishment out of it. Jon may as well have just given him an HJ lol

I don't care what other people think, Ramsay was the best villain of the show period. Joffrey was also bad, but Ramsay and his actor played it perfectly

I was just wondering, “oh did ___ already happen?” But nope… that’s next episode 🙃

Brilliant comment! Couldn't agree more!

The music in the opening 10-15 minutes of 6x10 is what makes that entire scene my favorite in the series. It builds suspense and tension to absolute perfection.

Entrañables para siempre esos Vientos de Invierno tan amados como esperados

Lights of the seven is hands down the best soundtrack

It was my profile pic for a lil while on FB 😂

Nah she’s annoying

Thats the only face she ever makes in this show. Every time shes on screen she looks like she just got crop dusted with the gnarliest wet fart

My fav part is when she begins to look away as his hounds feast then faces it head on. It shows her growth as a character. She isn't the stupid child from season 1, she just was a bad bitch in the Battle of the Bastards and now she's relishing in the death of a man who took so much from her and her family.

@@CarrCab Yes!!! You are so right, and it was great to see her kind of develop into this strong young woman who is like, "No, I'm going to not only watch you be torn to pieces, I'm going to ENJOY it, and for the first time, there's not a thing that you---or anyone else---can do about it." That smirk was so boss of her, like yeah, now who's the weak bitch lol. Felt great to see for sure! 👍🏽👍🏽

​@@khalillahgreen8776 I honestly think she has the best character growth in the entire series. From where she started in 1x1 to where she ends up, not a single other character grows and changes as much as Sansa.

Yes, that was the plan she made when she met with Littlefinger. Recall that we don't get to see the end of that meeting. Ramsay only came out from behind Winterfell's walls because he thought he had an easy victory. When the two sides parley, he gives Jon an accurate account of Jon's troops, they're number and make up, so we can assume he had spies in Jon's camp before the battle. Shortly after that, notice how Sansa goads Jon into shouting they don't have enough men. She intended this too to get back to Ramsay - It's the same trick Robb pulls in Season 1 against the Lannisters.

@@gunkulator1 nah they showed Sansa in that episode hesitating to reach send a raven to little finger and only did so once she realized they had no other choice. What you described would have been better in terms of making Sansa actually have some degree of strategy and intelligence but the way they filmed clearly is meant to show that she was holding off asking little finger for help until she realized she didn’t have a choice, when they were in the barn all evidence pints to that interaction ending with Sansa telling little finger to F off not coming up with a surprise attack

Tbh... I don't think there really is a solid reasoning in the heads of the writers as to why Sansa hid this knowledge from Jon. I think it was just meant to give her a big moment. And its not much deeper than her having trust issues. It should've been a much bigger plot point, but alas... its not. I feel like Sansa, starting season 6, doesn't really have solid characterization... Shes just whatever they need her to be scene to scene. You can tell they wanted her to have this amazing coming of age swan story... but it just comes across as jarring and contradictory.

@@yomamma.ismydaddy216 Getting the knights of the Vale all the way to within striking distance of Winterfell could not be a decision left to the night right before the battle. They had to already be in position. Littlefinger was coming with them no matter what Sansa decided. He had promised young Jon Arryn they were going to Winterfell to help. It was up to Sansa to play her part to make Jon's forces look so weak so that Ramsay would give up his superior position behind the walls of Winterfell and come out to battle them. It's the only plan that would ensure victory. Had Jon and Sansa managed to rally a substantially larger force, Ramsay never comes out to battle. The whole plan depended on Ramsay believing he had an easy victory. Of course Sansa hesitates to tell Littlefinger. Who wouldn't, especially after how he abandoned her to Ramsay's tender mercies?

@@starsimvidz I completely disagree. If Jon knew about the Knights of the Vale, Lord Royce at the very least would be at their camp in all war meetings. Ramsey would know this, he states in their parley earlier in the ep how he does have intel into Jon's plans and camp. The element of surprise was the ONLY way to defeat Ramsey. Sansa telling Jon would have doomed the Starks for the remainder of the series. They would have died there. Ramsey would have remained behind the walls of Winterfell, and Jon had not one single piece of equipment for a siege. His plan was always and only a direct attack on the field of battle. In a siege, Jon's army either dies or abandons him as Stannis's did, Sansa kills herself to not go back to Ramsey, does anyone even really care about Arya and Bran after season 4, and so that's the end of the Starks if she had told him of the Vale. I will agree the show did not explain this well, but it makes far more political and logical sense than just "I was raped, so I have trust issues now and won't tell the one person in the entire world I'm related to, and trust this information."

secured the victory?? she led jon on in a suicide mission so she could have her glorious entrance. i call BS she wanted the glory so the north would be in debt to her....no honor

Yeah if Ramsey knew the Knights of the Vale were coming he would have kept his army in Winterfell forcing a long seige.

@@andrewward5891And that siege would not have been successful. Winter really is coming and no siege survives a northern Winter. That and of course neither Jon nor the knights of the Vale had any siege engines.

Keeping it from Ramsey is smart, but keeping it from Jon was beyond not cool.

Exactly, i'm glad watching this. It's not just random plot armor, it's have the writing behind it.

Same here 😅 Guess I'll be late with my important project today... totally worth it though!

But Jon isn't ruthless enough to not try to save Rickon.

you still try to save your family i mean would sansa say the same thing if she was in rickon's place? just give up on me? jon wouldn't do that and he shouldn't

Sansa should have told Jon she had the Knights of the Vale. He could have used this from the very beginning

Ned's execution, blackwater, red wedding, attack on the wall, arena fight, battle of the bastards... Episode 9 has always been good, what are you talking about?

@@_KantenMaaier_ Dreadfully good. But it guts you emotionally. This one was happily fantastic all the way around. How does one misinterpret that?

@@Ash.Crow.Goddess You said:"That one time when episode 9 was good af!", wich you can misinterpret pretty easily. It sounded like this was the only time episode 9 was good because you said That one time... 🤷‍♂️

I got your comment on the first read tho. People have different interpretations I guess. ​@@Ash.Crow.Goddess

@@Ash.Crow.Goddess Saying "That one time when it was good..." is basically saying that all the other times weren't good.

el mas deseado nombre de capítulo. en todos los sentidos, su inicio musical como el adelanto de El Abandonado, da muestras la calidad; Vientos de Invierno

nahh is kinda garbage and overhyped blackwater and the watchers on the wall are way better "battle episodes"

@@user-bn5do2ev3i not saying its THE best, I'm saying its one of the best. Defeating the masters in mereen with dragon power and defeating bolton, feed him to the dogs and take winterfell... What are you talking about? That's too much victory in one episode! That's why it's on the list of favorites for a lot of people. One of the best.

yeah the payoffs are cool,the battle that leads to it is garbage,. Why like a half assed episode because the ending was good if you could get a whole good episode ?@@gninay

@@user-bn5do2ev3i this episode brought SATISFACTION to my soul but.. we don't have to agree, that's fine. Not tryna fight u.

When he was far enough he could just turn a watch arrows coming

Right? People forgot Ramsey chased down his ex lover through the woods and still took out her leg with an arrow through trees and bushes then let his dogs have the rest of her

That's not bullet that's arrow zig zag or unpredictable pattern always works

Exactly. Ramsey would never miss because he’s that good.

That's dumb. Of course, zig-zagging would work. It can work on bullets because moving targets can be so tricky to hit, so what makes you think it wouldn't work on an arrow that is 10x slower?

this and the watchers in the wall

Why do the book readers ALWAYS have to announce it? We show lovers don't care about your side info. We don't care.

@@robtintelnot9107 idk dude because the books are way different than the show and way better written, it’s not just “side info”, it’s a completely different story. Legitimately some of the best works of fantasy you’ll ever read. Go read a book for once in your life and have a good day 👍🏾

@@robtintelnot9107 It's part of the fandom. You know this. We don't care that you're illiterate, you shouldn't care others are literate.

I've read the books and i hate bookreaders, i just can't agree that it's a completely different story. It's actually the same with some edited details. And i also wait for the moment when Martin finishes them just to laugh out loud because the ending is gonna be the same haha

"Resolve to be Sansa Stark and take the North" actually means Stannis is going to warg into Sansa and take Winterfell!!!" - freefolk, probably 🤣🤣🤣

This 🙌🏻

Doesn't work of course since Jon is basically Ned Stark 2.0.

@gunkulator1 exactly right.

Very good comment. Another reason for the crosses is markers for the archers.

@@stacyleal5687and to help indicate the speed and direction of the wind (from the smoke)

Since Wun Wun was pretty much done anyway, why didn't Ramsey just shoot Jon instead?

Yeah that was supposed to quite literally backfire

THEY NOT READY FOR THE WINDS OF WINTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. prime TV. I always wish I can go back to the moment I saw it for the first time. What a time to be alive, I love that people are rediscovering the glory that was GoT in it's prime but also sad they couldn't experience it in real time, now so much of the show has been tainted sadly by the last 2 seasons which most new watchers now are aware of. We got to enjoy it in pure bliss before the travesty

@@nikkinzy New watchers love S1-7

At all

That made me laugh

People forget he was just a kid and he was scared shitless. What do you expect him to do? Most children wouldn’t think of that.

@@wolfbird6613also Ramsey had a whole lot of archers, if Rickon had zig zagged and he missed, he would’ve had them shoot him

🤣🤣

I know I'm going to get hate but it's not really good choreography. Medieval historians and reenactors are sceptical about warfare representation in got for a reason. I especially 'liked' how Stark forces were staying still and watching being surrounded by Boltons 'shieldwall'.

​@@Immundissime1word key 'in the show '

Choreography is impressive, but the battle is a mess, both tactically and visually.

​​@@Al-ji4gd It prioritised tension and evocative imagery over realism and that's fine. I would never want the encirclement or Jon's last stand to be removed from this episode. The sense of dread and the imagery of Jon accepting death and being reborn is too good to get rid of. It made absolutely no sense for Stannis to land and lead the charge in the Battle Of the Blackwater *unlike in the books* where he logically didn't participate - *there was an extremely high chance of him being shot by the archers in particular just like all the fodder with no plot armour.* But no one complained.

@@idakev Yes, but Blackwater is a good episode. This isn't. One moment where there is a lack of realism is not enough to dismiss the episode, but with BOTB there are so many instances of it, as well as bad writing, predictable storytelling and shoddy dialogue. That Jon scene is manipulative cinema, designed to make people feel a certain away despite the whole thing being preposterous.

There They Stood!

No, it's not lol. It's a good opening 15 minutes, and the rest is the usual mediocre dross that the rest of Season 6 is famous for.

this episode is way better than the next, a couple of kids setting explosives and and a suicide is all that happens in episode 10.

It’s my favorite episode of Game of Thrones, but many episodes from Breaking Bad, The Wire, and The Leftovers all have anything from this show beat

@@Wraiven22 A man with taste. Winds of Winter is my favorite GoT episode too, especially the first 15 minutes with Cersei and the Sept and the outstanding music, and The Leftovers is one of my all-time favorite shows. What's your favorite season? I actually liked the cold, depressing tone of season 1. All three seasons are masterpieces.

It baffles my mind how people just want to hate on Sansa for no good reason. We never saw her get a reply to her letter to Baelish. And her conversation with Jon the night before the battle confirms that she had no idea if the Vale army was coming. She was clearly nervous and very afraid. The last thing she told Jon was that if they lost, she was not going back alive. Those are not the words of someone who knows they have an army on the way.

I love Sansa, but she still could have told Jon. He didn’t refuse to listen to her, he asked her for her opinion and all she said was I don’t know it’s not enough. He knew it wasn’t enough, he didn’t know that she had asked someone else for help. Had she said, “I sent a letter for more aid, let’s wait to hear if they’re coming,” then he would have waited. The only reason he went into the battle, was because he thought there was no one else that would join their fight.

@@sirimity I do understand that she could've been honest and told him, but had they waited for more men then Ramsay would've had the advantage still, he's cunning and ruthless and she knows that. She wanted to win and this is her being cunning and ruthless in her own Stark way. Love her too and she's got faults and I can't totally defend her as if it was me irl I would've told Jon but taking into account her experiences as a character and her journey I think it makes sense. I love Jon too but he was pretty dismissive to her in the meeting in the tent the night before. Obviously she doesn't know anything about battles and Jon doesn't know anything about mental warfare so they were both at odds in that regard. But they prevailed 🐺🤍

@@amylamourxoxo I disagree that Sansa was being 'cunning' by not telling Jon. As I said, she did not in any way sound like someone who knew that a huge army was on its way to help them. However, I do agree with you about Jon's dismissiveness toward Sansa with every piece of advice she gave him. Given the way he scrapped his own strategy, I suspect if she had told him, he would have messed it up anyway.

@@NovaLena22 No, Sansa had a pretty good idea that Littlefinger was coming. She already knows that he devised a plan to kill Joffrey because he was just too unstable to work with. Ramsay was way worse. What people seem to miss is that Sansa is straight up manipulating Jon before the battle. Recall that in the parley, Ramsay gives an accurate account of Jon's forces, their number and make up. Clearly Ramsay has spies in Jon's camp as he also did with Stannis. Sansa goads Jon into shouting that their cause is hopeless and they don't have enough men. This was intended to get back to Ramsay. Ramsay wins by default if all he does is stay behind the walls of Winterfell. He only emerged with his army because he was very confident of an easy victory. The knights of the Vale only defeat Ramsay if he's committed his troops outside Winterfell.

One of the greatest

Yeah and we also see what her first strategie in this situation is: Fire and Blood. If not for Tyrion, she would have taken her dragons and obliverated every single man on those ships and not have given a single thought about negotiations.

@@evatesche that probably is true. Wouldn’t you though? Lol trying to bring peace and giving them a chance to change and it backfired. They did her character dirty. I’m bias on her but still 😂

@@cookiekrum19Dany is like being the only country with nukes

@@cookiekrum19 Looks like in spite of everything, she still has some character traits of her father 😎 Even though many fans don't want to acknowledge it.

@@evatesche I agree, especially after rewatching it. It seems like she has more good in her than bad in the beginning but you do see it progress over each season as more terrible things start to happen to her (losing certain things.) I do feel in the last season, her risking everything she built and being the “good guy” was the character they built her up to be then in one/two episodes a switch flipped and she went cuckoo…. It was SO rushed. Even if they had made one more season, I would understand more

How are they the best? They're so badly-written.

Mongo x10 😂
