Sandor Clegane lives, Cleganebowl in motion but I just don't see how he makes it to King's landing considering how the episode ended and the Hound pursuing the Brotherhood, also a shame that they killed Ian Mcshane in his debut episode.

Lady Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island was great, she's up there with that traitor Smalljon Umber for best newly introduced characters, so underwhelming when she enlisted only 62 men. I thought to myself maybe she'd only have 250, but not even 100.. As much as I dislike the traitorous Northern Houses for siding with the Boltons or not answering their call, House Glover has the best reason, Robb was selfish and broke a marriage arrangement and lost the war, then the Glovers lost their keep to the Greyjoys and after they gave their support and lost their lord to Robbs cause they had no allies.

I thought Margaery was playing the game, then when she spoke to the High Sparrow I thought she was lost, but then she gave her grandmother the note with the sigil of House Tyrell and it was clear she was playing the game pretty damn good. I thought Cersei was gonna have Lady Olenna killed after she let Cersei have it, I'm sure the Mountain would have been able to kill her two door guards and the two in the background right after or before killing the Queen of Thorns herself.

The Greyjoy siblings headed to Mereen, I wonder of the outcome of their arrival and what they will say considering they don't have the fleet she needs at the moment, and the Ironborn are currently divided.

The Blackfish, my absolute favorite character that is still alive aside from Jon Snow. They have 8,000 men which would be more than enough to sweep the Boltons, shame they have their own front to defend. I was hoping Jaime would treat with him but I still have hope, if anyone recalls in the season 6 trailer there's a scene with the Lannisters with Walder Frey and his sons, it definitely looks like a Red Wedding type of event.

Arya.. As soon as I saw that old lady I knew it was the Waif, I definitely did not expect her to take those stabs. I thought it was a dream but then the scene continued, everyone thought she would wait in the dark for her but I guess that isn't going to happen from the looks of it. Kind of annoying that they make Arya seem stupid enough to let her guard down like she did, walking through the market with no blade and not even looking like she's waiting to be attacked. The way she walked away all bloodied through the market shows that she now knows she can't let her guard down.


I wonder what Sansa wrote in that letter though, my guess is that she sent a raven to Ramsay Bolton stating the they are coming for them with _______________ by their side, including the Glovers who turned their backs on them forcing them to join their cause.

Thoughts?

Clegaaaaaaane booooooooowl hype

I'm sure the Northern houses will stay true to the Starks especially when Sansa gets the Vale to back her up.


Totally rad episode btw :bdpf:

The Hound's back! Jeej! I seriously wonder what role they have in store for him. Helping Sansa? Revenge on his zombie-brother?

Davos is just too humble, someone please make him a saint :bouncy: the scenes with House Mormont were superb.

It's worrying though that Sansa presumably is asking Baelish for help as up to now nothing good ever came from a Stark trusting Baelish.

Margaery Tyrell played it well. Still what would her plan be? I mean she makes her mother leave and then there's the part of not producing an heir. That might just have been part of her act to make it even more convincing (in which case superbly done), however I have my doubts. Tommen is too foolish to be acting so he's definitely all pious now, which of course bares a risk for Margaery if she would involve him. So what's her game? Logically being cleared of all accusations, but I reckon there should be something more to it.

The trailer for next week:



Considering the title is "No One" the main focus will be on Aria. And finally the Faith Militant will get a beating.

I kinda have mixed feelings about how the siege of Riverrun will turn out because I loved the interaction between the Blackfish and Jaime in the books and how they handled things. However it seems they will involve Brienne and Pod, most likely she will try to convince the Blackfish by stating that he's more useful in the North. It's worrying though that Pod seemingly gets captured by someone.

Genuinely panicked when Arya got stabbed like that. For a second I thought they were just gonna kill her off right then and there. Thankfully, she is green lit to live at least until she encounters Melisandre.

Also, Margaery Tyrell is a goddess. Sooo curious as to what her strategy is.

That little girl make Jon,Sansa and Davos beg for 62 men lmao,
apparently she was also in the camp during the raven scene, one of the best leader in the show so far.

House Mormont is one of the poorest Northern houses. The fact that she gave an odd number men like 62, likely means she almost gave all of her men. You can only admire that little girl.

I seriously wonder how this battle will unfold. Even if the Vale intervenes, Baelish can't be trusted. He intentionally 'sold' Sansa to the Boltons and then offers her the help of the Vale. The problem with the Blackfish is how he is supposed to get an army all the way up North? In the books he escapes Riverrun alone. And then we have the Manderlys. In the books they are pro-Stark and just abiding the right moment to strike, but in the series they have only been mentioned.

Yeah i know how poor they are from Jorah story, but as she said they are PROUD HOUSE it said that the Lannister have been trying to buy their valyrian steel sword but they never gave it up no matter how much gold they offer,

Baelish cant be trusted.... that much is beyond doubt but the other lords of the vale can be trusted, and its not like Baelish have control over the vale army, sweet Robin only agree to rally his bannerman cause Baelish mention Sansa,
i think he mayhaps will try to turn Sansa against Jon.... now that would be great to watch

The vale army will crushed the Bolton,Umber and Karstark alliance Rohirrim style.

I always thought that arm that grabs him was Bronn and now that Bronn is where Brienne and Pod are going I definitely think it's him.

Really good episode seeing the Hound was awesome can't wait to see him slaughter those a-holes that killed all those people. And the Hound vs the Mountain is totally going to happen probably next season because we only have 3 episodes left which is crazy this season is flying by.

If Ayra doesn't have some kind of plan for just being out in the open like that then I'm extremely disappointed in her character. How could she be that stupid?

Sansa is definitely sending for Little Fingers help because they desperately need him and hopefully he'll help but of course he will have some other kind of plan.

And I hope that Breanne can convince the Blackfish to just give up his castle to go help Sansa take back Winterfell and if they do that it would be easier to get the other North houses on there side and they can kill the Frey's.

Baelish controls Robin and Robin controls the army. Robin Arryn is a loose cannon, but he trusts Baelish unconditionally. When Royce stood up against Baelish, he could have thrown him through the Moon Door. Robing might have 'ordered' to help Sansa, but in the end it was Baelish who intentionally steered the situation into that direction and that's not very comforting.

Makes sense that it's Bronn as he's one of the few there who know who Pod is. Though what would Bronn exactly want from Pod?

Probably just trying to scare him and seeing how his buddy is doing.

I think Lady S is leading the Brotherhood and that's why they are far more savage then the last time we saw them.

Personally, I loved how Jaqen asked the Waif not to make Arya suffer and she just goes ahead and stabs Arya multiple times.

Inb4 Jaqen says that the Waif became 'someone' by being obsessed with killing Arya.

There has been some speculating about the Lady Stoneheart plot line being picked-up, however she really wouldn't be massacring innocent people. Though as I recall in the books the Brotherhood separated and only a few of them followed Lady Stoneheart. In the previous episode on of the Freys briefly mentioned that the Brotherhood has been raiding their supply trains and harassing the Freys is what her faction did in the books.
