The North sees a lot of movement this episode. Both warring parties have their own contradicting internal turmoil. Jon Snow opts for political merging and compromise while Ramsay uses his newly found power to oppress. The relationships between Jon Snow and the Wildlings are precarious, though it's probably the most peaceful one to achieve reconciliation. While some challenges persist, Jon pursues the best way for both groups to prolong their life expectancy against the unworldly threat.
Iwan Rheon as Ramsay is a fitting antagonist. He displays a convincing euphoric reaction when people bow to his will. Unlike many other characters with cloak and dagger, Ramsay is more openly on his perverse achievements. Theon Greyjoy is truly a lost cause, the show invested a whole season on breaking him with mind games and castration, this is a fate worse than half of the deaths.
It's been awfully strange, mainly because the overwhelming discomfort, when Theon is paraded in front of Sansa. The two have not been close, this time they find themselves as captives though their circumstances may be different. As usual there are increasing amount of people who might just soil the budding flower persona of Sansa, but it seems that she's not as alone as she thinks.
The last act of the episode is a visual eye candy as Tyrion and Jorah Mormont have leisure sail over the mythical haunted land. This set piece is strikingly beautiful, worthy of any fantasy tale. These two characters are a unique pair, they are nothing alike in term of personality yet they must endure each other and any outside threat the elegant vista might hide.
Some men are luckily absolved and granted more than life, while the rest might be tragically doomed.
