Personally I never skip the credits, since the credits unlike other programmes are personalised and the different places give an indication as to the story...plus I just love map models.
I'm also curious as to billing. biggrin

I really enjoyed this weeks episode. You won't be disappointed.

Word to the wise - if you normally skip the opening credits, don't. They went straight into it this week, with the credits following soon after - it did on Now tv, anyway.
absolutely!



on another note - who else thinks that this looks like Benjen Stark?

Re-watched the whole 1-5 before getting into 6.

The whole thing is filled with plot spoilers from the word go, stuff in series 1 that comes true in series 5 or what have you. Watching it all over again, to then jump into season 6 has just made it amazing and rounded it all up. Like many have said, now it's run so long, trying to keep a good hold of the million little plot lines can be a swine, but giving it chance with a re-watch makes it all worth while again.

Looking forward to the denouement, both for this series and the entire thing. I have my theories, but I have far too much time on my hands.
Likewise, picked up on so many little plot points I missed the first time round. Well worth it.

Enjoyed that. Lots and lots going on - we now know Margaery is playing a game, and she's bloody good at that.

Hound is out for vengeance, Cleganebowl is on...

Arya is now no one in the eyes of the Many Faced God. Scott free and able to play (once healed, or maybe she becomes the stonehearted one).

Sansa has a backbone, at least a little. Writing to Littlefinger may not be the best move though.

Not sure what's happening at Riverrun. Jaime doesn't seem that fussed, Blackfish has his measure I think.

Serio Forel on Thronecast. Not sure he would appear there if he was Jaqen or was coming back.

Sandor is back, but he's not with the church, yet. His first job is gonna be hunting down Lem Lemoncloak.

Which might mean a reunion with Thoros?

And Arya...was that a scam? She was acting not like a person on the run.

I was wrong, I'm delighted smile

Have been all day

But I didn't feel the need to post a spoiler about it, unlike others it seems frown

Wtf do people do this? It's so fking selfish, unnecessary & against the rules of the thread.

Cleganebowl to happen.
Cersei's champion is the Mountain in her trial by combat.
Some reason the Hound stands in for The Faith.
Cersei's prophecy becomes true as she dies at the hands of the Valonqar, little brother in High Valarian.
Sandor is Gregor's younger bro smile

What was the rose all about that Marjery gave Lady Olenna? (who is an absolute badass hehe )

I think love-joy would have made a brilliant character, stark contrast to the soulless priest at KL.

I thought The Ayra attack looked a bit too perfect, were did she get the money from and I couldn't see her sword.

I read a theory that Jaqen still owes her and her took her face and let the Waif kill him, or atleast stab pretty badly.
Apparently the way Arya walked and the fact that she didn't have Needle with her.

Another thought on Syrio As a Faceless Man- he got his job as first sword of Bravos because he could see truth where noone else could (he called out a mangy cat for what it was, iirc). Fac3less men appear pretty good at seeing the truth!

I love this series so much. Season five was such a slog and I was afraid the writing was suffering as they ran out of book. In fact it seems the opposite!

I liked how they showed Arya alive right after the bridge jump (and loved the little knife-twist from the waif), rather than drag out an is-she/isn't she thing. It was great just hearing characters chat for a bit and trade quips and loved 10YO badass Momont who even shows up to the battle!

If Clegane becomes Azor Ahai I'm just saying I called it first! hehe

I hope so for Cleganebowl, surely this season as well.

Lady Olenna is the Queen of Thorns.
