She wouldn't walk around without Needle after getting it back. Her whole demeanor was off, throwing money around and walking around without a care in the world. It wasn't her.

Who has an Arya mask? How do the faceless make the masks?

We already saw her face on a dead person last season.

I think it is stage props and acting though. It is Arya, but she is ok and punking the waif.

I am assuming she is sending the letter to Littlefinger, to take him up on his offer to use the knights of the vale.

1) oh god I see sansa messing it up, again.
like when she opened her mouth when one of the lesser lords didn't want to join Jon's army.
by the look on jon's face, he immediately knew the route sansa took wouldn't work.

she should have at least told Jon what she planned on doing.
how many knights does Littlefinger have?

2) thought the Brotherhood w/o banners were good people?!

3) hm.. what did it mean when queen margaery gave Lady Thorns that drawing?
also, who thinks cersai snapped and killed Lady Thorns?

4) didn't think the fight between arya and the waif was going to be like that or end that way.


episode 9 is usually the big episode of the season.
what do you think it will be for season 6?

Jon Taking Winterfell?
Cersai/mountain killing the Sparrow and all his zealots?

I don't think sansa wrote to littlefinger. I think she wrote to her uncle to convince him to abandon river run and come north to help them. Brienne will convince jamie to allow him to walk away with his army and they will go north. That way they will have one of the best military minds in control of their army. Everybody wins. Jamie honors his vows to catelyn, Brienne follows orders, blackish doesn't die and goes to help his people....etc

The blackish won't have a lot of men but he might being more people in as he goes and might even be able to bring in the vale army under his command since his great nephew is lord arryn.

I thought that was the point of her sending Brienne to Riverrun, was to enlist the aid of her uncle? Why would she need to send another letter other than the one she presumably sent with Brienne?

Lord of light is not a fan of the old 7 gods. Red burned the holy men of other gods. Probably killed them for being heretics.

Marg is playing everyone. The high sparrow threaten her grams. She is getting her out and letting her know that the game is afoot.

Probably to reinforce the need for urgency. Maybe you guys are right but I continue to think the back fish probably has something to do with the vale army also.

Ughh these fuckers give us Ian McShane and then rip him away in the same episode? Damn you GoT for taking all that is nice and pretty from me!

The Arya thing didn't go quite the way I envisioned it.

yea i was like FUCK YEA Ian McShane

then fuck this gay earth

HBO is being a beautiful being

Was nice seeing Bron back, and Jamie doing a little ass kicking. The scene where Granny was speaking with Margery went about like I suspected, shes playing the Sparrow.

A lot of things involving Arya did seem odd to me, her not actually carrying needle and I'd have thought she would have been wary of someone like the old woman creeping up on her like that.Will be interesting to see where that goes next.

The note would be flying off to Little Finger I would think myself, they do need men to assault Winterfell.

Theon snapping out of it for revenge if nothing else is a good plot point, would be nice to see him take Ramsey out, but you know how these things work out sometimes.

The hound will continue the search for the Perfect Chicken ...

Theories floating around that it wasn't Arya that got the pincushion treatment, but the head faceless man testing the Waif. She was ordered not to make her suffer; she failed that test.

the vale reportedly has a very large and well trained army that hasn't done shit for the entirety of GOT, its a force to be reckoned with. I want to say someone mentioned at some point that whatever side the vale goes to will most likely win

Refresh my memory: When did they show a faceless man change stature that much during a face change? I do not recall it, and was thinking they are limited to people near their own size.

I still think Arya pulled this off, with the help of the actress.

that makes a lot of sense actually considering how different arya was acting around the market and stuff throwing money around, and without needle. (as someone mentioned earlier)

yeah it could be that too. the amount of blood in the water when she went over the bridge looked a bit extreme to me, to the point that i noticed and thought "wow that is A LOT of blood, looks kind of fake" but i never thought she faked it at the time.

and when they showed her surface by the steps in the water, if i'm not mistaken, she didn't even really appear to be in pain. she kind of looked normal like nothing had happened. but i don't remember or not if they showed her wound or not at that point, or if they showed her stumbling up the steps too. she was clearly stumbling in the streets though with blood dropping down.

Whatever the case there is some magical trickery involved, otherwise its just terrible plot armor.

I almost forgot about Lyanna Mormont, she was amazing throughout and she should be the one with dragons.

This episode really left me wanting more in a good way, cant wait for the final stretch this season.

It wouldn't surprise me, I've thought there was something going on with the actors in general.

The girl playing Lyanna did a fantastic job myself I thought.

Just a meandering thought, but what if the Hound hooks up/get nabbed by Berics group and convinces them to maybe try out the resurrection thing on McShane ?

He was a warrior in the past, and he was pretty much a Unitarian priest, ressing him might change his viewpoints a bit and convert him to the Lord of Light.

It's a bit far out, but what isn't in this show

Am I the only person who felt this season has been nothing but fan service and placating what the audience wants? Jon, alive. Arya, not some assassin no name. Dany, leader of more armies. Hound, alive and back on the prowl. Tree boy, no longer becoming a tree. Cold hands, confirmed benjen. Sorry, that's all way to fucking neat a package for GRRM.

I still say Waif is Arya. Fight Club like -- battling inner self.

The story is in a winding down phase, these have been hanging questions for most people for a long time. I see it more that they can't hide these plot lines any longer without rushing them in the end.

I think the Arya story is probably as it happened. They had been working up to this for several episodes after all.

And yeah, Lyanna Mormont was awesome. I didn't remember who she was, but I'm glad to hear she's Jorah's cousin or whatever.

Something didn't seem right with the Arya scene, she seemed way to calm just walking around with no care in the world, she knows she is being hunted and perhaps this was her plan.

Wife and I thought it was a dream scene... didn't look real.
