Most people are trying way to hard to figure things out. A few obvious things happening next 4 episodes. Hound comes back, it should be the trial by combat. Arya leaves Bravos, but does she defeat the waif or is she saved by a twist, possibly involving Syrio? Or maybe it was all a test? Cersei is tricked again, does her defeat lead to Tommen's death this season or next? A lannister dies this season, i guarantee it. The Battle of Winterfell, although i am starting to think it might start this season and end next season. Do the Vale Knights save the day or is it some other house? And lastly, Lady Stoneheart makes an appearance. If anyone thinks this is NOT happening they are thinking too hard. It will probably be the last scene of the last episode. This whole season has been about redemption for the Starks. It fits right into the current storyline. In fact if you take it further i believe the Starks winning is a direct parallel to the Lannisters losing. Thats is why i'm certain one of them dies right before Lady Stark shows up.

Demiurge4 posted:We've only had 3 Kingsguard who weren't faceless mooks. The Hound, who was a great character whom we all love. Meryn Trant, whose only purpose was to be the enforcer of Joffrey's cruelty and Jaime, who's now been stripped of that office. Nobody cares about who the kingsguard are anymore and that's why they aren't getting effort put into their outfits. Tommen actually has a pretty snazzy outfit that resembles what Tywinn wore, albeit with a lot less leather. Barristan already forgotten

I'm sure that people will be certain of LSH appearing in the S7 finale. Jon comes back: "Yaaaay!" Benjen comes back: "Oh, that guy. Closure to that mystery." Hound comes back: "He was funny! I hope he meets up with Arya." Catelyn comes back: "Okay this is loving stupid now." Lycus fucked around with this message at 21:31 on May 30, 2016 |

BigglesSWE posted:I like Sam, he's a very pleasant and likeable character, but I can't really figure out why they spend this amount of time and resources on him. What's his character's end game? The Maester school he's going to in Oldtown has a bunch of characters that will probably be important in the future, including a Sand Snake, a Faceless Man and a dude named Marwyn the Mage who can do some Valyrian and/or blood magic poo poo. He taught Mirri Maz Duur the spell that turned Drogo into a zombie. Sam will at the least serve as the link between these characters and team Jon/Melisandre, assuming that they exist in the show. an skeleton posted:Pretty great episode, season is going well. For those of you who seem to be confused about Arya's arc, the whole point is that she *wants* to be no one; not only an actual Faceless Man but literally a faceless man, someone with no identity and no ties to her painful past. But she can't, she isn't really a cold blooded killer, or at least not once it is clear that this is a meaningless assassination for some actress's career. The play and this episode made it clear that the waifs assumptions are exactly correct -- she is still Arya Stark (and always will be). Now she will murder the waif and... likely head back to westeros? Join Dany? That part I don't know. It would be pretty cool if we never saw the showdown between the Waif and Arya and we just see Maisie Williams in Westeros in a later episode. Who's to say if that's actually Arya, then? the jizz taxi posted:A decent episode overall. The Tarlys were all superbly cast and nailed it 100% and it was a joy to see Walder Frey being that vile piece of poo poo that he is. See, a villain like Walder Frey works better than an all-out psychopath like Ramsay because with Walder Frey, you can also tell he's surrounded by inbred yokels whom he rightly views as what they are and his decades-long frustration of being mocked by his betters has turned into this ugly sense of bitter resentment. Ramsay, on the other hand, is just a giant prick of colossal proportions without a lot of purpose in life. Even the show's other notoriously sociopathic characters have differentiating factors, like Joffrey often being oddly pathetic and ineffectual, or a prick like Craster who was actually quite content with his life and didn't desire more power. My favorite book detail about Walder Frey is that he does provide for every single member of his family, no matter how much he curmudgeons. A bunch of the shittier Freys are genuinely concerned for his health because they know that the next Lord Frey would just give them the boot and leave them to fend for themselves, if not cull them outright. Walder isn't a complete shitbag.

People have been saying "LSH will definitely show up in the season finale" since Season 3. I want her to show up too, but given the show's "check off GRRM's plot points at breakneck speed" attitude I wouldn't get my hopes up.

emanresu tnuocca posted:Dany proclaiming the entire Dothraki nation as "Blood of my blood" means that she made them all her bloodriders which means that according to Dothraki tradition once she dies they all ought to follow her to the grave. I think what you may be missing is that Dothraki tradition has been completely upended by this point. Dany has killed all the Khals, taken control of the lot of them with a giant dragon, and has convinced them to do something they've never done in sailing across the Narrow Sea to conquer a land they never expected to ever see. All bets are off. The "you must follow me to my grave" provision is probably not a cultural relic that they will keep.

Yeah, that's why Cat whose distrusted him for years thinks its still possible to patch things up with the Frey's after Rob elopes. The whole deal with Edmure marrying into the family instead was to compensate them, might be enough to get him to overlook the insult. I also like how Walder deliberately kept all the not scheming arsehole Frey's out of the loop on the whole red wedding thing. Though I don't remember if Stoneheart cares which is which or if she's just going after Freys indiscriminately. I know the one's she hangs in the chapter were part of the wedding plot.

Given how she treats Brienne (at least initially), I expect it's probably going to be "all Freys must die." Frey Morghulis.

All bets are off. The "you must follow me to my grave" provision is probably not a cultural relic that they will keep. Looking forward to a montage of the Dothraki being scared of the ocean like little children and getting seasick, lol. But in all seriousness, even if Dany got a 1,000 ships and we're generous to include possible navy complements from the ships and crews Yara and Theon took with them, most of her troops have never been on an ocean-faring vessel before and have no clue how to operate it. The Dothraki and the Unsullied are land-based armies and perhaps some among the Second Sons have some naval experience, but probably not that much. The show might well gloss over this but I'm quite sure GRRM, with his painstaking attention to detail (even when it doesn't serve the plot or point) will have considered this.

The actor probably just doesn't know how to ride a horse, it's hard to imagine a nobleman not knowing what should be a pretty basic skill. It's never come up in the books as far as I know either. tazjin posted:Overall a good episode, but I swear if they end one more loving episode on Dany giving a stupid speech to whatever her current followers are then I'm really not sure what I will do!

This was definitely an intentional thing, since Mace in the show is depicted as terribly incompetent/dumb. That he wouldn't be able to ride a horse properly while riding ON one at the head of an army is terribly in character.
