So what happened to Sandor? are we gonna see him again y'all think? It was left open whether the died or not. I'd love to see him get some vengeance.

Are you saying Sandor instead of the Hound to try to earn nerd cred points?

"And lets get this straight, what has Arya become again? Someone who can fight in the dark? In the long night? You would think having spent so much time with Arya it would have fleshed out more."

Yeah I know right. I feel like she's been hanging out with the Faceless Men for like a few months. Half of which she was blind and on her own. All she's really learned is how to get around and function without her eyes and how to use those masks (which she won't have access to now that she's leaving). She didn't really even learn to fight, she just got her ass kicked a bunch of times.

6/3/2016 9:07:31 AM

I thought they were pretty heavy-handed with Arya this last episode. I mean blowing out the candle and waiting with Needle, she's obviously going to face the other chick in the dark and utilize her "blind-skills," and when she defeats her that will be her loophole to get out of the Faceless Men without being marked for death.

Then in the theater backstage scene Lady Crane was asking her if she's ever acted and the pissy actor/director guy was bitching about how terrible the audience was. I'd bet dollars to donuts that Arya ends up joining the acting troupe after she defeats the other FM chick, then they just so happen to decide to take their play to Westeros in search of better audiences. How serendipitous.

All that being said and even though it was a slower episode, I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

agree, my wife and I continue to struggle with how long and stagnant Arya's character development has been.

6/4/2016 11:57:29 AM

So I'm assuming bran is going to go south of the wall now? Well, is that gonna allow the whitewalkers to get passed the wall, the same way they were able to penetrate the children of the forest's lair due to Bran being touched on the wrist by them in the dream sequence??

I'm thinking Bran has to be aware of this possibility, so maybe he chops off his arm, while in the dream sequence where Jaimie pushes him. (The hand that pushed Bran is the same hand that Jaimie lost later on when he was captured). So Bran chops off his arm, and then takes Jaimies hand in the past to replace his? (It won't change the future since Jaimie loses the hand anyway??)

Just a wild thought, but plausible imo.

6/4/2016 1:06:08 PM

The cave was just an open cave, there was magic preventing them from coming in. The thing preventing them from getting past the wall is the fact that it's a giant fucking wall.

6/4/2016 1:36:45 PM

It is also magical.

[Edited on June 4, 2016 at 2:43 PM. Reason : ]

6/4/2016 2:43:01 PM

I imagine if the mark breaks the magic, the magic is what makes it stay up. So it will probably collapse, explode or the undead will just climb over it

6/4/2016 3:16:40 PM

Yeah...men built the wall and the children of the forest "interwove" it with their magic. The same magic that I assume kept the white walkers out of the tree. I think once bran passes thriving, magic is broken.

6/5/2016 7:07:42 AM

The best part is that he says it's plausible

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 9:27 AM. Reason : $$$]

6/5/2016 9:27:30 AM

^no the best part is that you didn't know that the wall has magical protection, and not just "a big fucking wall"

and is it really so dumb to think its plausible that bran will steal the king slayers dead hand in the past? this is a show where Khaleesi rides around topless on giant flying lizards, and skeleton warriors rise from the dead to rape and pillage... not to mention bran can basically time travel and obviously have an effect on the past, (IE his papaw hearing him yell at him at the tower of happiness).

Just to add my hat to the plausible ring the procedure to add a hand higher up the stump is possible. Just look at that procedure where they amputate legs and use turned around feet as the knees. Never say never especially when it comes to GRRM.

6/5/2016 11:24:18 AM

I do know that it is thought to have magic woven into it preventing the creatures from passing it, but my point is that even without any magic, they can't just walk right in like the open mouth of a cave, it is still a huge fucking wall, it will at least slow them down.

Anything is possible that's for sure, but I wouldn't say it's probable

Should have seen that coming from his introduction

6/5/2016 10:31:42 PM

So I thought the Brotherhood without Banners was, if not good, at least not as fuck off evil as people like The Mountain.

6/6/2016 12:18:18 AM

They lost their mission, their focus. Turned into true bandits.

6/6/2016 7:28:31 AM

^But for what. WTF did they kill all those people for? They had some food, probably no money, and a few tools. Even men that have "lost their way" don't just slaughter 30 people for the fuck of it.

What do you mean what happened? He's obviously alive. Clear as day...you make it sound like you didn't even watch last night's episode when you posted this

Did you forget how Bran got past the wall in the first place? There's a secret entrance that allowed them passage to the north side of the wall, and there is magic involved with that passage.

6/6/2016 9:05:45 AM

^Uhh, I posted that comment about Sandor like 4 days ago chump- learn to read time stamps Dog McStuffins.

^You got me there Rod Stiffington. I hath forgotten about the secret entrance. So maybe he will get through without letting the wights through...

^Yall do know that our fine university has a decent film school right?

i think all of the sandor rumors came from the cleganebowl hype. now that sandor is back and was associated with the guy wearing the symbol of the faith, cleganebowl pretty much 100% confirmed get hype.

Ian McShane spoiled that the Hound was coming back months ago. It was hilarious because when people got pissed off he said "it's only tits and dragons" and told everyone to get a life.

Arya is the waif

6/6/2016 10:47:32 AM

^elaborate?

The two main theories I've read (show not books) is that the Arya we saw die on screen is Jaquen H'gar testing the Waif / dying in place of Arya. Or that Arya has faked the blood (pouches of pig's blood over chain mail) in order to lead the waif into the dark (where she had learned to fight blind) and kill her.

6/6/2016 11:44:18 AM

I knew nothing of Ian McShane's comments, nor the Clegane PapaJohns Bowl, but I do like the sound of that fun little scenario.

6/6/2016 11:52:03 AM

^^We didn't see her die.

Ah my bad about the Clegane comments, I just looked at the time stamp, not date.

6/6/2016 1:09:35 PM

^^^ That would be one hell of a lucky break she got stabbed in the stomach

6/6/2016 1:53:37 PM

^^^^ fight club, arya is the waif

6/6/2016 2:31:07 PM

arya gets saved by a kindly old man, nurses her back to health, he removes his face -- its jaqen

not sure why he would do it, but book it

6/6/2016 2:53:01 PM

yeah I'm not sure either but she can't die.

maybe some red priestess will save her. Melissandre tell her the first time she meets her that they'll meet again.

or Syrio will save her and reveal himself to be Jaquen H'gar too!

Ironborn are in the bridge city volantis, not bravos, I think.

Jaqen=syrio is one of the worst GOT theories. Also, if she's been completing her water dancer training she's still pretty shit with a sword since the hasn't trained with that at all
