Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed
It was more that he ran towards Rickon in the first place. I get the emotion, but to have the commander be a sitting duck on the battlefield? I just don't think Jon is that dumb. Also what bothers me isn't necessarily that his army charged in at all, but that Jon rode on alone to try and grab Rickon. The scene would have made more sense if Rickon started running towards Jon's army and he watched in despair as Ramsay toyed with him and ultimate killed him.
Not a big deal to me, just felt a little off is all. Jon is definitely not an unemotional person. And overall I looooved the battle. They also could have lost if they didn't get encircled like that as being pinned down in that position is what enabled the Knights of the Vale to swoop in and wreck their shit haha.

I never said it was the crowning achievement in development but it's not hard to believe. As she said, Rickon is the rightful heir to Winterfell and that makes him a far greater threat to Ramsay than her and Jon regardless of the outcome. She knows exactly what kind of person Ramsay is which is what she was trying to tell Jon that Rickon is lost regardless.
The first thing a new bloodline does is issue a decimation order against all rival bloodlines which is a callback to an earlier season when Robert Baratheon died and the subsequent purges (I think, it happened, but I forget the exact details). Ramsay simply chooses to play with his toys rather than outright destroy them otherwise he would have been dead long before the battle begun.
I'm actually surprised he wasn't used as a flayed centerpiece.

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
So, where the fuck was Ghost, why wasnt he in the battle or better yet in the cage?

The preparations they had made till that point would've probably made it hard for them to use the extra cavalry in any other way. Coordinating two armies without having both of them being spotted would've been tricky. It made more sense this way as well.
Besides watching that cavalry unravel that shield wall in that manner, maybe I am weird but that was among my top 3 scenes in the episode.
If he had been, pretty sure he would've died. Just hope we'll see him, but glad he wasn't there.
So to discuss things other than the battle, how about Davos huh? He's going to kill that bitch Melisandre.

Y'know, one thing I really didn't understand. Why didn't Wun Wun just grab a horse and start swinging it at the shield-wall? That would have cleared a pretty large path. Hell just start picking up bodies and throwing it at them. Those shields are heavy enough to hold upright without someone lobbing 200+ lb human bodies or horse bodies that way half a ton.
Anyone else not care that Rickon died? I was also happy to see Tormund stab that piece of shit smalljon in the face. This whole time I was hoping there was some sort of plan there but nooooo...piece of shit.
Well it was worth it, I'll take "wasting" CGI budget on dragons wrecking face over using it on killing another direwolf.

That was some terrifying shit when Jon was suffocating with all the bodies/people around him. Thats some real medieval shit right there.
Why is Ramsay portrayed as a decent commander when he's a peasant boy that grew up on a farm?
I almost expected Davos to fuck Melisandre up.
But the trailer for next episode makes it look like Jon will sentence her.
Putin khuliyo
Yea Jon clearly is not very interested in her god or being ever brought back so I am very interested in seeing how that plays out. I cannot wait to see how that preview plays out. The three of them were in the room for a reason and Davos seemed enraged as if something she was saying to Jon provoked the outburst.
