    Rather short episode :/ And felt littlebit fillerish but had some fine acting though! Lady Mormont actress did superb job as did Sparrows guy who was teaching the hound about, just can't remember his name. Usually child actors can be rather bad but on this episode she did truly a convincing job as a Lady Mormont.

    Also Arya must be quite lucky as she did survive a slice and 2 stabs in the gut relatively unharmed though I think waif wanted her to suffer which is just plain poor assasination tactic.

    Lol nothing happened this season. Daenerys is not a step closer to Westeros, Jon has as many men as he had in Episode 1 + 63, The Hound is alive as we all knew he would be, Tommen got WOLOLO'd by Howland Ree- the High Sparrow and I swear to god that the finale won't reveal that R+L=J.


    That being said when I saw Sandor I lost my shit.

    So based on this preview this will happen:

    Brienne is going to negotiate with Blackfish for Jaime. Blackfish probably wants to help Sansa but doesn't want to give up his castle for nothing. So he'll have the Lannisters join the Bastardbowl for Jon's side in exchange for that castle. Jaime's Lannister army is just a super convenient thing right now.[/spoiler]

    Well I think the whole reason Sexy Jesus pitted the Waif against Arya is he saw to potential faceless, but both with flaws. The waif clearly wants to kill and make people suffer, while Arya claims to be no one but is still obviously Arya. Now, they both failed.

    I'm thinking Arya is actually unconscious in some form, for the past few episodes, and tonight's episode was her subconsciousness killing off her old innocent self. The past 2 (?) episodes had her basically re-telling past events of her life (the theater group), she finds her sword she had hidden, and she tries to set sail back home(ish).

    The waif is Arya, and only exists in her mind; it's her way of "killing" herself to transition into the Faceless assassin she wants to become.

    Bronn just being awesome as usual. Also if Arya is dead I'm gonna have to find a new 3rd favorite character because my top 3 are Tyrion, Arya and Bronn.

    Everything has to be stereotypical for average viewer to keep hang of things. <.<

    "It was all a dream" would be still be bad storytelling, even in Game of Thrones. Several episodes is a bit long to keep something like that going.

    "It was all a dream" is only bad storytelling when it's used to Deus ex Machina the way out of a painted corner (not excusing bad story telling otherwise).

    Wat. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the Freys are the laughing stock of all the houses. It's been mentioned by Frey himself. There's a reason none of the houses respect them, they had to be backstabbing jackasses to accomplish anything of note. It's perfectly fitting that Walder Frey's sons would be just as weak and backhanded as he is.

    I haven't seen any popular fan theories shot down this season yet and yours is one of them so it may be the case.

    The only theories I haven't seen the show touch on yet are ones surrounding the Umbers and their actual alliance, though this episode paints the picture that the houses of the North abandoned the the Starks some time ago.

    If Arya died after putting up with a pretty dead storyline since The Adventures of Arya and The Hound then i think they would be doing fans a great disservice. They would of at least have to wait until she is about to hook back up with the other Starks or is about to off someone on her list. Then and only then would her death be truthly tragic and dramatically satisfying. I am not the least concerned for the well being of Arya at this point.

    No, she cant be dead, she needs to stuff Walders balls down Cersei throat.

    Also what was up with Ians eyes at the end? And when did the BwB become out and out bandits?

    Not excited at all. All this screeching like yours FOR FUCKING YEARS has become beyond annoying. You have ruined it. You are like Michael Bay with explosions, you think sheer volume won't bring any harm.

    Lady Stoneheart hasn't been introduced yet. Don't think they ever intend to.
