LF never left the offer open to Sansa for help. I think when she asks he'll want something in return. This is where I think there are conflicting reports about Ramsey. I think LF wants marriage in return and Sansa agrees. This would be a trick, because for her to marry LF, Ramsey needs to be dead. By keeping Ramsey alive, it delays LF marrying Sansa.

I think it is probably a good idea that Mel keeps out of the way. It would have been nice to have had a scene with that discussion with her.
I do get the impression that Jon and Sansa were blinded by their love for Robb, and probably weren't given the whole picture as to how bad Robb messed up by marrying Talisa. If Sansa had known how bad the situation was, she might have accepted LF's offer in the first place.
LF didn't leave the offer open. She flat out declined it. I think he'll ask for something in return.

That explains the vision of Bran's from last episode. People were thinking it was Lyanna, but looking at the clothing, I'd say that it is Arya (or someone with her face).

Maisie Williams is brilliant, y'all. Really, really brilliant. Compare her behavior as Mercy last week to her behavior as the new and improved Arya Stark this week. She has a completely different bearing and tone of voice, a different expression on her face, everything. And I believed her stabbing. That made me a little light-headed. Whee. No way Arya dies, though. No way. She has to use her skills for something or she wouldn't have gone to the Faceless Men in the first place. She really is an amazing young lady ... she pulled off that mortal wound very convincingly... I was on the verge of tears no one was stopping to help her! Braavos is some cold cold people! I felt like that whole thing was a dream sequence for some reason. It felt real but not really real. Does that make any sense?! I am continually amazed they keep sneaking in shocker scenes like this that even the spoiler sources didn't know about! I'm wondering if it actually was Arya who got stabbed.

I loved this episode. My only complaint that it was too short.
Nice to see old Jamie starting to appear.
That Arya scene, something seems wrong.
I wasn't too bothered before the episode about the Hound returning as he's not one of my favourite characters, however, I'm going to say I loved it. Ian McShane was awesome.
The little girl who played Lyanna was brilliant. She was fierce.
Kings Landing looks like something is finally going to happen.
The Greyjoy plot moved forward. The acting was good and it did what was needed. However it wasn't spectacular.
The picture looked strange. I wonder if they used different filters.

As per usual, I'm logging off in 5 minutes to allow my laptop to readjust to Sky Atlantic and get a good picture otherwise the picture is rubbish.

This is going to be an interesting episode to find out how the north view her.

Welcome to the boards Karl Katze I'm with you on the Bran/Meera ship. Long may she sail. I'm looking forward to this episode. I missed Jon last week. I'm also feeling some Lovejoy hype.

If Tommen dies, Cersei is technically his heir. So when he takes a long walk off a short bridge this season, she's finally Queen. And I don't think the showrunners could resist having Lena Headey being a psychotic ruler for as long as possible, before the Red Keep goes up in flames 706 or 707. Cersei is not Tommen's heir. Tommen's heir is probably some distant Estermont. Tbh the rightful king atm is Robert's grandfather or uncle. When Tommen dies, Cersei loses her every right to rule. She's not even Queen Mother, just a female Lannister. Which makes the whole thing more interesting. Cersei claims the IT because she can. I thought the Baratheon's claimed not just via conquering but also legitimacy via Rhaelle Targaryan? If that is the case, then next in line is Jon (if he's legit) or Dany if he isn't.

I was just about to post that his video is up. I really wish that Spanish had been an option at school.

Good to have Darling from Blackadder confirmed as Lord Glover too btw. Not sure I'll be able to take him seriously.

That bloody hand which was in Bran's visions was also in the trailer which we thought was Arya wiping her hand across the wall. Some of those visions are of what is to come this season. The wildfire is going to happen later on as Aerys II didn't actually burn anything down. I think that the bloody hand was Arya killing the Waif ( and possibly taking her face).
They kept the casting of Aerys under the radar.

I gave it an 8. It was a good set up episode. The one thing that felt out of place was Dany's scene. There was nothing wrong with her scene, it was a good scene, it just felt out of place. Randyll Tarly was perfect. I wish someone would introduce the High Sparrow to Ramsey. Since Tyrion, Tywin, Joffrey, Varys and Littlefinger departed from Kings Landing, the story has gone downhill. So any episode that is Kings Landing heavy will struggle to get a higher vote from me. It used to be my favourite, but now something is missing. Bran's part was good. I could do with looking at his flashbacks in slow-mo. I bet I missed loads of stuff. Arya, finally her story is going forward. Walder Frey, can always rely on Walder Frey for entertainment. Finally - Uncle Benjen. About bloody time.

House Glover was in it too. That is my favourite promo so far.

I'll be here for post episode discussion only. I've just checked, the picture is horrible and it'll take a couple of minutes for the resolution to sort itself out so I'll be logging off in about 6 minutes.

How many days since your last spoiler? Confess here. Last week. I just watched the episode early. Does that actually count?
