thrones 6/5

[WanderingWinoZ]

he's alive!!

[teflepi]

Put that in the second post. The hound!!

[teflepi]

Waif is going down next week.

So glad the Hound is back and is now PISSED

Arya is a dumbass, though. What the hell. You stay in hiding until you leave

[teflepi]

The letter from Sansa? To Baelish or to legitimize Jon?

[eclaires]

Arya what the heck are you doing?!!

I'm guessing Sansa decided to send a raven to Baelish. Sigh. I'm really surprised by the resistance they are facing in the north because that is not the situation in the books - it seems like a lot are chomping at the bit to get at the Boltons.

I would be so happy if it's the latter but I don't think she technically has the power especially since they don't have a ton of support.

[LoveTrains]

I think the Raven is to Baelish to get the knights of the vale.

Did you all see Gendry in the Scenes for next week's episode?! WOO! He appears to be with the brotherhood (as book readers know).

[2curlydogs]

The raven is to Baelish. If she were trying to legitimize Jon, who would it go to - the Lannisters? PFfft.

I'm glad to see some movement in Arya's storyline, but A Girl is an Idiot.

Looking forward to next week though.

[WanderingWinoZ]

So many different scenes & places...

Arya is a morAn...

Pretty much anytime there is a good thing or happy music, somethings terrible happens the next scene..

Who were the dudes that killed Blackbeard and the village?

What was the significance of the rose drawing??

The Rose is a Tyrell thing. I think it was her way of letting Lady Grandma Tyrell know she is still,a Tyrell and is working an angle.

SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY TO LEARN!

I am worried about Arya

My bet is she stumbles on Lady Crane, who helps because blood debt. And that's how she gets in with the Troupe.

[Nonny]

Clegane Bowl is ON!

I think so too.

Lady Mormont was kick ass.

[anastasia517]

Well, Arya jumping off the roof has to be next episode. I don't know what the point of her failing 6 times in a row was since I feel like something more significant should happen in Braavos.

I thought the North remembered.

So, the Hound = the Gravedigger confirmed? I don't see how a Cleganebowl could unfold since Cersei will need to win her trail barring some major WTF-ness going down in the next few weeks in the series world. I see the appeal but that would just be depressing.

I'm so glad they kept the Jaime/Blackfish scenario almost word-for-word as the scene in the book.

Thank God it's clear Marg has something else going on. About time.

[runforrest]

Has anyone seen the theory that Arya = The Waif? A la Fight Club? I'm not so sure.

[anastasia517]

Oh, for those of you who are interested my favourite ASOIAF related YouTuber is Alt Shift X. www.youtube.com/user/JaiWbio/videos He has been doing videos for each episode this season, which are interesting and help to explain things you may have missed. It takes him a few days to get them up but they are by far the most thorough, well sourced, and objective ones I can find. His one for episode 6 does a grouping play-by-play of Bran's visions which I found especially interesting & helpful since they flash so fast on-screen.

Haha, I had this exact thought!

[litebright]

I kind of love that Ser Davos is the designated noble-girl-wrangler. Young Lady Mormont was fun to watch and a total scene-stealer -- Jon and Sansa were obviously the greenies in the room, lol.

Jon is piss-poor at this whole rallying-of-support/politics thing. I mean, I can see why, he's freshly back from the dead and newly out of the Watch and he's a bastard besides, so he barely has a leg to stand on with anyone except the wildlings -- but when the old dude turned them down he looked completely lost and Sansa was the one who made the stern, last-ditch attempt. Lord Snow is out of his depth navigating this stuff; thank goodness for Davos and Sansa, who's going to bring in the Knights of the Vale to save their asses at Winterfell even if it means dealing with Littlefinger.

I'm guessing that Arya is going to find Lady Crane to get patched up. I wanted more of Bravos and Arya and instead we got, like, an episode 2/3 about the Hound. It was a nice little storytelling jaunt, but about halfway through when they kept going back to him, I told DH, "Okay, we get it! He's alive! He's back! Let's move on already!"

[cookiemdough]

I was really lost this episode.

I think this one was for the book readers. I was all "who is this blackfish dude? Why do we need another character? What's going on?"

[jeaniebueller]

I think I am rooting for Lady Mormont now. LOL

And I am surprised that Ian McShane's character only lasted one episode! It was weird seeing him playing a nice guy.

[jeaniebueller]

ALSO, Arya continues to be a dumb ass. As she was standing on the bridge, I could see that the waif was going to come for her from like a mile away.

[simpsongal]

Definitely one for the book readers - I'm a little confused too cookiemdough ,

What was the significance of the Hound's interaction w/the spiritual folks? We saw him sort of come around w/Arya, but he seemed genuinely moved by the spiritual guy that got hanged. Of course, grabbing he ax seemed like he wanted vengeance too...doubt he'll start a soup kitchen.

Arya Sansa must be writing to the knights of the Vail. And WTF Jon? Meh, we don't have time to go there and ask in person, we'll fight with what we've got....I suppose his common sense died w/his first life?

I'm excited for what's ahead though! I love that red-headed wildling guy!

[ttt]

This felt like yet another setup episode to me. When are things going to actually begin happening??

Agreed. I'm ready for them to take back Winterfell, for Theon and Asha/Yara to get to Mereen, for us to see Dany with her Dothraki army there, etc. 

[eclaires]

I'm still feeling salty this morning about the north.
THE NORTH REMEMBERS. They are loyal to House Stark. That is like their main characterization. It's so frustrating that the show changes things like that. It's like Stannis and Shireen.
