I figured it hadn't been well manned, and he decided to take them North right after talking to Sansa even though she told him not to.

We saw Theon speaking to the Ironborn garrison as in the books, and Ramsay taking control of the Moat, but did he actually leave troops there?

I can't imagine he didn't leave a garrison.

I can see him pulling men from all over once he found out Jon and Sansa were trying to gather an army.

But Moat Cailin? Literally the one fortress in the entire North you should always leave a skeleton crew at?

He's not the long-term planner that his dad was.

They could have sailed there. They don't need to go past Moat Cailin. I seriously doubt D&D actually put any thought into it, but the Vale has one of the biggest ports in Westeros. How they ninja'd their way over land is still a problem though...

Littlefinger said his knights were camped just south of the neck when he talked to Sansa. I doubt they went all the way back to Gulltown and took a boat.

They all just rode on Littlefingers jetpack. Obviously.

I just rewatched the battle and one thing caught my eye: that giant was very underused. Couldn't they have given him a big fucking stick?

I remember thinking that when they were surrounded and they were desperately trying to break the line somewhere. Could the fucking giant really not handle that with support?

He could have just hurled some of the hundreds of bodies laying around at the Boltons and it would have done some pretty ugly damage.

I can't get over the fact that you are all discussing the idea that a giant was underused.
Your just going to have to write a strong worded letter to the makers of the show.

And I'd have given Wun Wun a size appropriate mace and maybe some armor. Take advantage of civilization. Use that newfangled metallurgy these wildlings have heard so much about |
