Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) then join the man they thought was their half-brother (they're actually cousins), they see their own statues, and icy air courses through the crypts as the arrival of the White Walkers looms, teasing the highly anticipated face-off between the Starks and the Army of the Dead.

My greatest dissatisfaction in life is that I have no way to award points for this masterfully executed "Who me?" face: Seconds later, in the crypts, Jon is having some quiet reflection time and staring at a statue of Ned when Littlefinger sidles up to tell him that he has a sick obsession with Catelyn Stark (who has been dead for four years) and Sansa Stark (who is a teenager).

Death count Let's make some generous assumptions: 10,000 Dothraki (the full army) + 8,000 Unsullied (more than half their full number) + 7,000 Westerosi knights and infantry (more than half their full number) + 73 assorted other unfortunate people in the crypts and in battle + 1 Edd Tollett + 1 Lyanna Mormont + 1 Beric Dondarrion + 1 Jorah Mormont + 1 Theon Greyjoy + 1 Melisandre of Asshai + 0 wights (what's dead may never die, remember?) = _________ 25,206 dearly departed souls. RIP.
