I had assumed HBO would not run a new episode over Memorial Day weekend but that appears not to be the case.
Maybe it's just me being simple but I always enjoy scenes with the Others.

I thought I was special for basically figuring out Hodor's name origin 3 weeks ago. This guy figured it out 2 years ago: https://ventrellaquest.com/2014/04/20/got-got/

It was good to see Sansa stand up to Little Finger. Her character has been great this season.

Agreed; she's becoming more and more like Catelyn.

Oh, yeah. There are also many moments in the books (I don't think this counts as a spoiler now) where characters are looking at Weirwood trees and hear "whispers." So that basically confirms what those are, too (whether it's Bran or another greenseer whispering is up for debate, though).
