You could look at it symbolically. Summer dying signifying that winter has finally come.

Ghost and Grey Wind were both pretty vicious and racked up some serious body counts. Nymeria is savage AF in the books too.
But, yeah. They've offed two in the past couple episodes. That's shitty as fuck. Now we're only down to Ghost and Arya's Nymeria, who is MIA in the show. Maybe we'll see her with Brienne going to the Riverlands (hooray for the Blackfish!) or when Arya returns. [Reply]

That is pretty much his character trait.
1) Ned is about to depose Joffery putting Stannis on the throne. Baelish pisses on his parade by betraying him.
2) Joffery is finally secure in his position and is getting married. Baelish pisses on his parade by arranging for his assassination.
I am convinced that Dany is having so much success because Baelish isn't in Essos to piss on her parade as well. [Reply]
I will add in that I was also disappointed in Bran's wolf going out like that. That Hodor stuff is quite interesting and I am trying to figure out what really happened there. Did he hear the girl on his own? Did someone have to allow him to hear it? Was he supposed to have heard it? [Reply]

Seemed like Bran warged him through time. Lot of cool stuff this episode. Although I am sad at Hodor's death. Bran fucked him up. [Reply]

Spoiler!
Show decides to have Summer go out like a bitch.
Meanwhile Leaf, who nobody gives a fuck about, who created the Others, was recast, has had less than 8 lines in the show gets a glorious death

In a weird way, he did worse than killing him - he ruined his life. [Reply]
Who was the older guy talking in the past with the Stark boy? It was the older Stark but I can't remember which one is older. My wife thought it was a future white walker or something? [Reply]
