Game of Thrones: 6-5 "The Door"

Hold the Door! Hold the Door! Hold the Door! Hold Door! Hold Door! Hold Door! Ho Door! Ho Door! Ho Door! Hodor! Hodor! Hodor!

Wanted by Bureau of Temporal Investigations
Subject: Brandon Stark
Charge: Causing a predestination paradox
Note: Apprehend with extreme caution

I'm glad they gave our lovable simple giant the heroic end most people on G.O.T. do not get. It had echos of the last moments of another great-hearted giant in Dumas' bittersweet masterpiece, Man in The Iron Mask. Alexandre Dumas, it is said, cried when he killed off his personal favorite character, Porthos.
One almost forgets what else happened in this episode.

Sansa finally cuts Littlefinger down a few notches for leaving her with psychotic Ramsey Bolton. Littlefinger loves Sansa because she reminds him of his childhood love, Catherine.He sghould have been there to protect her, but he was not. This was the first time that he actually saw that his political tinkering hurts people. He needed to lose some of that ego. The former lady of the vale and future lady of the north is not to be trifled with.
Tormond is still giving Breienne "Do I make you horny?" looks.
Sansa sends Brienne to recruit her cousin "Blackfish" Brynden Tully. Knowing what lady Brienne finds in The Riverlands in "A Dance With Dragons", or what finds her, I'm truly frightened.

The scene that grabbed me was when Danerys ordered Ser Jorhah find a cure, heal himself and return to her. A knight needs a quest, and finding a cure for Greyscale is a worthy one.
