The Battle of Bastards just happened on your favorite show. Yes, the Game of Thrones decided to go all out in making a Not Safe for Ramazan episode after a pretty decent showing last week.
If you’re the type to cry over spoilers, don’t go any further. You have been warned.
We’ll say it one more time if you don’t get it: Spoiler Alert.
This week’s episode created quite the buzz when its title “Battle of The Bastards” was announced. And boy did it live up to the hype.

The episode can be broken up into two halves, the first being dominated by Daernerys setting ablaze the Slave Master’s incoming fleet and the latter just being pure, free-flowing bloodshed.
As soon as the Mother of Dragons walked in towards the end of last week’s episode, it was pretty much certain that the Slave Master’s were going to face a brutal defeat. In what was an incredibly predictable move, she sits atop her dragon and whoosh, off she goes to burn the ships, thus forcing them into surrender. Slave Masters die, the fleet is hers, it was a win-win situation for everyone (okay not really).
And then the haramion ki larai happens
Here’s a step-by-step guide to that larai:
Ramsey Bolton, John Snow and Sansa Stark come face to face in a tense exchange of words. Ramsey being the devil he is thanks John for returning ‘Lady Bolton’ to him but things go south pretty fast from there on out. Basically the Starks make their claim to Winterfell and Ramsey says he’ll fight to keep it for himself. Oh yeah, Battle of the Bastards ka scene on hogaya.
Being so obviously outnumbered, Snow and his advisers devise a plan to set Ramsey up in a trap, thus making it easier for them to attack them. Sansa ofcourse still feels they are under prepared and warns John that Ramsey is too cunning to not foresee a trap.
Well all the planning goes out the door when SURPRISE Ramsey brings along Rickon to the battlefield. Ramsey cuts him loose and tells him to run, run all the way to John! But Ramsey can never let anything be easy. He rains down arrows on Rickon, and the few seconds of screen time the poor guy gets after ages ends in his death.
Rickon ??? #GameOfThornes for a second I allowed myself to think he was going to make it… fool that I am

This is when shit really hits the fan.
All strategies and tactics go out the window and one of the most epic and amazingly shot battle scenes of Game of Thrones history begins. It’s just 20 minutes of absolute on-screen mayhem and chaos.
Things come to a standstill when John Snow and his men are cornered and it looks as though we’re about to lose Snow once again. In the most predictable move of the season, Lord Baelish along with Sansa set the warriors of the Vale on to attack the unsuspecting Bolton forces. (Remember that letter Sansa secretly wrote out a few episodes back, yup it was to Baelish)
Sansa be like: ? #GameOfThornes #GoT

This sets the stage for John Snow and his men to storm the castle. Pompous and over-confident as always, Ramsey offers a face to face duel with the John. You all know how that would end! With much ease John subdues Ramsey and sends him to the dungeons, leaving his death at the hands of Sansa.

She sets upon him his very own hounds. The most satisfying death scene of all of Game of Thrones.
Goodbye and Good Riddance, Ramsey Bolton.

Talaak ho tou aisa! You go girl.
There were some incredibly predictable moments in the plot of this week’s episode however the sheer volume of fighting, gore and head-chopping made all that bearable. And the battle sequence was definitely an absolute treat to watch, don’t think they can top this for some time to come.
*Jaw Drop*
With Winterfell FINALLY in the hands of the Starks and Lord Baelish so clearly in Sansa’s good books, the power struggle to keep the North to themselves has only just begun. And to top it off, just one episode is left in the season, and this episode has set the tone extremely high.
Next Sunday cannot some sooner.
