Hauntingly done. Would love to hear a woman with a haunting voice do a professional sounding cover of it. Enjoy!
Dammit. If I still had the chops, I'd record it for you, A. Gorgeous version.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who found the third episode boring. I thought it was awesome (and I'm really critical of like, everything). I thought it was awesome, and a good episode to follow up the even awesomer second one

Totally agree! It was not an action packed episode, but it was still full of good stuff. The backstory we are slowly gettng through Bran, the fight with Sir Arthur Dane was great! And tons more!

NOOOOO!!!!
There's no way it isn't a ploy. I mean, this is House fookin' Umber we're talking about

Also worth mentioning how mad Greatjon was about being called an oathbreaker, and this past episode was called "Oathbreaker." And as Roose Bolton himself said in the books.... " The Umbers may seem simple, but they are not without a certain low cunning."

Is it the Umbers who in the books seem to be on the Boltons side but kill Bolton men from within winterfell?

I had a whole long post written detailing all the interesting stuff from last episode, and then we had a browser out and i lost it all! Boo.
I'll just rewrite the part about how interesting I found the contrast of Jon regaining his life, identity, and freedom while Arya voluntarily gave hers up, finally. Will this lead to some later confrontation where Arya is supposed to kill one of the people from her past life, like Jon? It must be Jon, she has a special connection with him, emphasized even in this episode when she said she had 4 brothers. She views him as a full brother, and the one she loved best.
And then Tyrion trying so hard to make conversation, lol. Varys getting the info was a bit meh, but that was contrasted as well with the outcast master taking over his little birds from Kings Landing.
What the heck do Cersei and Jaime plan on doing to cast out the sparrows and the current small council? Just follow them around with the zombie mountain until they are so creepedal out they leave for good? That's not enough, there must be more going on there.

That's House Manderly, who all book readers adore. Half the Umbers seem to be on the Boltons' side, while the other half is for Stannis (since Stannis is alive still in the books.) It is implied that Wyman Manderly had two Frey boys killed and baked into pies which he fed to Freys and Boltons. So yeah, I'm hoping Manderly is in the show soon. They've been mentioned a few times
