I haven't read any of the books.

I just read nerdy fan theories that usually stem from Reddit. People who have read the books use facts from that along with the show to speculate why something happens and what will happen.

Also these recap vids, really good.

I have went back and started watching from the beginning, am currently on season 3 beginning and I seriously want something extremely bad to happen to littlefinger! That shit has been in the middle of most of the shit stirring and is the only character to come out with little to no repercussions! Either he wins the game of thrones, or goes out in a hail of bullets, I am hoping for the latter.

Read that Arya did that to draw out the Waif and lead her back to whatever dark cave she's in. She was blind so she knows how to fight in the dark.

I'd call letting yourself get stabbed in the gut several times a really, really bad plan.

I'm going with the Arya=Waif theory.

I don't think Sandor is headed for Kings Landing anytime soon. Cersie's trial by combat will either never happen or be interrupted by other events before it concludes.

Have you read the theory about the Faith choosing Tommen? Or Loras? I think both could lead to good story lines.

Wow! That would be awesome. And with Tommen out of the way, then nothing could stop the Faith from taking total control.

Still, it would be a real stretch for Tommen to accept. Loras could make sense, except I feel like the Faith might actually want to win that to get Cersei and Sir Undead out of the picture.

I had Tommen as a candidate a few weeks ago. Somehow he's a dead man in the next 3 eps.

Somehow he has to die before Cersei, according to the witch, correct? So if Cersei is done soon, then Tommen has to be even sooner. But I just don't see a plausible way he'd fight Trial by Combat for the Faith.

Both of them dying would make for interesting possibilities for Jamie.

Possible causes of Tommen's death:

At the hands of the mountain somehow

Killed by a sand snake - I don't think we've seen the last of them

Suicide after the death of Marg

I think Jamie kills Cersie either as a mercy or in anger over a rather large event.

bases_loaded.... I think you're wrong, that appears very much to be Arya.

Great episode last night and I think it did a nice job of prepping us for what should be an even more intense final 2 episodes. Both are going to be longer than normal (60 minutes next week and the longest to date, 69, in 2 weeks).

"Battle of the Bastards" is the title of next weeks, definitely looks like the Snow VS Bolton battle will be in full force, judging by the previews.

Hate to say it, but if Jon and Ramsay do one-on-one battle I'm going with the ninja.

I guess I just don't understand how Arya can take several stab wounds to the fucking stomach and just be fine with a quick stitch up the next day.

I'm so sick of that storyline.

Yeah, it's annoying.

Gets stabbed in the gut, survives an insane footchase, then kills the Waif in the dark, then takes her face to Jaqen.

What the fucking fuck.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the gods are real and they are moving players around like chess pieces. Jaqen's meeting Arya was not a coincidence, and he probably had some prophecy or vision similar to the Red Priestess with respect to "Azor Ahai".

So Arya is not dead because the gods are not done with her.

Seems too likely based on the preview and Jon's words "don't revive me."

The one good thing about this show is that it is rarely predictable.

I think he's saying that generally. Don't think he will actually fight Ramsay one-on-one, and I don't think it looks like he is going to.

this, all that time just to go back to being herself? What a waste. I wish they did more with last nights episode.

I think that was her point all along though. She wanted to learn for the sole purpose of going back to Westeros to fuck things up.

Is that big hall like a face library or something? Do you check out a face and then have 30 days to return it?
