I seem to recall a dragon swooping down to save its surrounded mother and then fly away...
Like I said, the Giant Eagles save them.
Thus far GOT is trying to avoid falling into the same trap Tolkien fell into, they're not using the dragons as a miracle escape every time they write themselves into a corner. I keep expecting it to happen though and would be willing to bet at some point it does.
Lulz, did not see that coming.
Mentioned sure. But at that point he was trying to give her a reason not to have Brienne skewer him. Hard to take anything he promises seriously, although it might be good for Baelish to send Yohn Royce and his men up to help Sansa. If it works, fine and if they get beaten that's a guy Baelish wanted to get rid of anyway.
He wasn't trying to do anything at that point. Him telling her that is basically the reason of that meeting for him. He invited Sansa, and after he said hi the first thing he said was about the Knights of the Vale. Only after that Sansa threatened him.
Of course he likely anticipated her response, and made a preemptive move by immediately telling her about the extra army (cavalry?) before she said anything, but you made it sound like he was being reactive.
Right, right, because Baelish married Sansa off to a sadist and wasn't bright enough to reckon that she might be a bit miffed. Are you serious? He walked in there knowing he had to give her a reason to not kill him and he had to give it to her fast or his head would be on the ground before he had a chance to open his mouth.
Guys, Does that mean HODOR have always known Bran since he was a child (after his warg attack)? And he can't just express himself because he's stuck with the word 'Hodor'??
And what exactly is Arya trying to achieve? She has always been motivated by revenge. She's undergoing this training to build the skills needed to destroy her enemies. While the many-faced-guy is trying to teach her to forget her past identity, in order to progress past it. He sees right through her every time she lies about her name. But if she does eventually pass his tests, she won't have a need to go back to Westeros for revenge. Where is her story line going?
My 'guess' is that destiny plays a large role in the GoT universe (as we've seen with Bran/Hodor). I see Arya completing her training and being sent to kill John Snow. She of course does not and instead takes her revenge on someone like Cersei or the Mountain. Rather than disappointed, Jaq'uen is pleased as she played the role he always knew she would. It makes sense because I don't see Jaq'uen being captured in the first place. The initial meeting between him/her was not by chance, but rather what the faceless god wanted... or something like that.
Why would jaquan want her to kill john snow?

Here is my take on when "a man" threatened "a girl" that she was going to end up in the hall of faces one way or the other. The threat was either she was going to become of servant of the faceless god or victim of it. As the red woman has told Arya she is going to kill many men. It points to the outcome being that she is going to continue training as a servant of the many faced god.I see Arya not completing her training. She is playing the game better than Jaqen thinks she is, she has managed to convince the Faceless Men that she has become nobody while the scene of her watching the play shows that she isn't close to dropping her family allegiance. They've made a big deal about her getting a second chance and made it clear there won't be a third. So somewhere along the line she's going to either refuse a kill or balk at some other task and get kicked out. She'll have learned enough by then to be a dangerous assassin even if not a true Faceless Man. She'll make her way back to Westeros and either go about finishing her revenge list or find Jon and team up with him.

There is that whole storyline about Ned Stark's sister that might come into play...Who is next in line to the throne if Thommen dies? There is nobody left of Robert's lineage other than his bastards.
Shouldn't Gendry be rowing into King's Landing pretty soon?You know, now that I think about it, it's bugging me because I honestly have no clue. Who is next in line to the throne if Thommen dies? There is nobody left of Robert's lineage other than his bastards. Maybe Gendy comes back from where he's been living on a commune with Benjen, Sandor and Syrio.

How does that change things? If we subscribe to the R + L = J theory then Jon is a Targaryen, not a Baratheon. There are some other theories regarding Lyanna that are interesting, but they also don't lead to a Baratheon heir to the throne.

Jon would be a Targaryen/Stark, he would be able to unite the north as he is seen as a northerner and the south to make a unified empire.
The Lannister's have no claim and the Baratheon line is dead, the Targaryen's were the previous royal dynasty and Jon would be the rightful heir, unless of course Danny throws a hissy fit.
