So why change the tower of joy to only include 2 kingsguard? Why change the line from "woe unto the usurper..."?

Wasn't that the sword in the sunlight at the beginning of the scene?

Maybe. But he fought with two swords, and neither stood out as the legendary Dawn.

I thought so. They didn't come right out and name it, but it was definitely visually referenced.

The ToJ fighting choreography was really good. It wasn't just guys taking taking turns. It was 4 on 1.

Maybe Hightower is in the tower. I was referring to the part where it was 4 (5) on 1.

Me too. Part of me thinks the Umbers are serving as the Masterlys in the show and are playing a long con on Ramsay. If not, Rickon has no shot of surviving this season.

Really disappointed they haven't included anything about Arya warging into the cat while she was blind. I feel like having Bran as the only warg really downplays the connection of the stark children to their direwolves.

I really thought we'd get "Edd, fetch me a block" at the end.

the direwolves in general have been downplayed in the series, haven't they?
