yes biggrin

Arya wasn't walking normally, but her reaction was typical of her...
She seemed overly cocky and not at all stealthy.

I didn't pay much attention to her stride or demeanour tbh, I'll have to watch back.

The rose is the sigil/aymbol of the Tyrell family, by drawing it and passing it Mags shows she is true blue and hasn't drank the koolaid. Thus allowing Olenna to go home satisfied.

Exactly, she just doesn't act like that unless acting as someone else.

My take on it is that Arya knew that they'd be a contract out on her, and makes a good guess it'd be the Waif, so she makes sure she is visible and open, and allows the Waif a shot. Maybe she had padding and theatre blood?

Smart to bugger off as well, Sparrowman...he's a dodgy geezer...I saw that hand on the knee....
Yeah I spotted that too, old perv.

Love the idea that it wasn't real Arya who got stabbed but a very angry Jaqen who just got a twisted knife in the gut after specifically asking for a clean death.

Given that we've already seen Jaqen poison himself and be wearing Aryas face under it all I don't think we can rule anything out. To me they're like the Borg!

Jaqen and Arya conspiring to put the Waif's face on the wall? I do hope we see Ayra in Westeros though. Maybe the House of Black and White understands the true fight in the North of Westeros biggrin

The music that played as Arya groggily staggered through the street, when did it last play? Was it in the room where she was blinded or when she killed Janos Slynt?

Arya was setting a trap for the waif, she was being too obvious trying to get a boat to Westeros, flashing the cash etc... I think she is setting up to take the waif down in her own way. She was too easy for the waif to stab and conveniently on a bridge etc...

Mini-mormont was brilliant, she needs more screentime!

Clegane tried peace but violence found him, cant wait to see what he does now.

I must be in a minority here then as I can't stand precocious kids frown


Good to see both Bronn and The Hound back... the look on the Hound's face and grabbing an axe... next epi

I can see the Waif killing Jaqen and I can see someone else turning up at Winterfell the same time Jon/Sansa. And I dont think it'll Little Finger.

Who was Sansa sending a Raven to, Lord Robyn or Littlefinger?

Whoever it is they might turn up at the Battle of Winterfell like the Prussians at Waterloo.

With a fking axe!

The very fact they showed Sansa writing a message and adding the Wolf seal indicates the show runners don't care about spoiling a 'saviour' army reveal when all looks lost at Winterfell - wonder what the twist will be?

Don't get me wrong, Sandors face when he picked up the axe and strolls off looking like he's ready to cut the world in half is worth it, but this is the second jarring event this series.

Considering the speed that so much of the plot moves at, his reintroduction felt terribly rushed.

This follows Euron Greyjoy magically appearing and kicking things off on the iron islands from out of nowhere.

Not complaining (too hard) as it's easily the best thing I've ever seen, but the slow burn is what makes it great, no need to rush these things in.

As someone on Thronecast pointed out, he is wearing woollens and looks like an angry farmer.
The other chaps have armour and steel!

Marjery must now have a plan to screw the Sparrow over - just can't see what it is.

The whole Arya flashing the cash etc. seemed strange after she locked herself in the dark at the end if last week - was it Arya?

Was it Little Finger that Sansa was writing too?

Loved the bit with Mini-Mormont and the 62 men! The look on everyone's face was brilliant.

Then who's ARya? biggrin




I thought it would be Cerwyn as first, but yeah, Little finger and the Vale army. Makes more sense. And that Vale army, it's heading North anyway.

Great episode, just wish it was a full hour.

Good to see the Hound back, mad and bad too.

The kingslayer's negotians were crap, but also good to see the return of Bron.

Was hoping that Ian McShane was going to be handy with a sword, hey ho!

Can't see where Cersei goes from here?

Arya has been sooo long in development, there must be something special planned.
