Ok guys, either I'm just starting to see things, or this means something ;-) Several people mentioned how that Arya scene seemed somehow weird or odd, and I felt the same. In the back of my mind there was something working - I tried to remember where I had seen that way Arya is moving in the harbour scene before, walking with her hands behind her back... and this is what I was looking for: And I won't even start talking about the clothes both of them are wearing... well, maybe after all it's just a Braavosi custom that Arya is imitating... But: "Arya is not alone."

I'm hoping for the official episode 8 synopsis to come soon. Then we will know if the 3 leaked ones are true, or not. IF "Brienne meets a friend turned foe" is really in episode 10, it's 100% confirmed to me ;-) . By the way, did anyone else think that Lem Lemoncloak did recognize the Hound?

My problem is I'm getting to the point where I have no idea how to rate the episode. For example I don't know if these bandits are some shitty way to get rid of BwB soon or they are for sure just renegades from real BwB. I have no idea where it's going - it can be going somewhere good or somewhere awful and I don't know what to think It's really hard to tell who these guys were: simply bad outlaws (like the remnants of the Brave Companions around Rorge and Biter in AFfC) , or a part the BwB itself. After rereading the AFfC scenes, I can imagine both possibilities: Either those three men at the beginning were members of the original (but somewhat degraded) Brotherhood; they had nothing to do with the raid, but failed to "protect the people". In AFfC, this was what Thoros complained about Lem Lemoncloak not fulfilling his task at preventing the Crossroads Inn raid: ""Lem should not have left the crossroads. He was told to stay close, hidden".
Or, the three men were part of the bad guys and checked Meribald's group out for the later raid. In AFfC this is what one of the Rorge / Biter group says after arriving at the inn: "Horses, that's what we want. Fresh horses, and some food." Sounds very much like the three riders in the show.
My guess is that they simply have transferred the "bad guys" role from the Brave Companions' remnants to the BwB (part or whole of it) that has gone berserk.

So as some of as assumed, the "I choose violence" will indeed happen before the Grand Finals. Two questions after having seen the episode 8 preview: - What are Lancel and the sparrows coming for - do they want to arrest Olenna? Or Qyburn?
- And when Cersei, Qyburn and Dented Ser Gregor march into the Throne Room, seemingly interrupting some audience and meeting Tommen (guarded by the seven-pointed-starred) King's Guard - what will happen there?

Hmm... two thoughts about this: 1st, this does not look like a city plagued by famine and turmoil, so it seems we still have a short period of peace? 2nd, my guess is this is the scene at the granary from the shooting leaks: So we probably also get Melanie Liburd as new red priestess in the next episode...

can someone please explain to me what the fuck margaery is doing? i thought that loras was out of prison last episode, but in this episode he's still in prison. what the fuck is her exact game plan here? I guess Margaery plays her game step by step. Part 1: Convince Tommen, and get herself out of the cells to widen her possibilities. Part 2: Get Gramma out of the line of fire, so Olenna acan use her influence from a safe position. Part 3: Get Loras into safety. Part 4: Win the whole game... And sorry for not using the spoiler tag properly - I just thought about the Arya jumping part that we saw in the trailers; but the other half of it indeed may be considered a spoiler.

By the way, was I the only one totally shocked at the beginning of the Lady Mormont scene? Almost dropping my glass and shouting "OMG, the one true king is back, Stannis the Mannis is alive!" Took a few seconds to realize it wasn't him . But I bet this guy was the reason some people claimed to have seen Stannis in one of the Battle of the Bastards' trailer scenes... ;-)

I'm wondering if it actually was Arya who got stabbed. Either this (why would she be walking around without Needle anyway?) - that would mean Jaqen sacrificing himself for her? Or the other way round: It seems hard to believe it will be the same person that will be hunted and fought by the Waif in the next episode. No way she could perform jumps like those with such a wound.
Which makes me think: Might it be Jaqen luring the Waif into a trap and killing her? Because she so obviously ignored his orders to not let Arya suffer,; and because he has bigger plans for Arya...

The "I choose violence" scene is not in the Throne Room though. It's in a courtyard within the Red Keep as GreenChili has proven. I don't have all the pertinent pics and gifs handy at the moment to prove it categorically right now but it's pretty much settled imo. She enters the Throne Room and faces down Tommen right after that scene btw. This is clear because in that scene from the first trailer of her entering the Throne Room with Qyburn and Gregor in tow, Gregor has a four dents in his armour, as infliced by the Lancel's four-pointed Faith Militant weapon. Yes, Cersei giving her violence speech is in the courtyard or an adjacent room - the capital of the column behind her is quite specific: Not sure about her marching scene with Gregor and Qyburn though - why do you think she's entering the Throne Room? I know the trailer is cut in a way it seems her scene and the one of Tommen leaving the Throne Room belong together, but is there any visual proof for this? I can't recognize the portal they are marching through...

The Riverrun promotion stills from the next episode were shot on October 15th / 16th.

Maybe the "I choose violence" doesn't happen in the grand finale, but before.
It might be connected to 1) the HS eyes a new target and / or 2) Olenna leaves the city.

I was bored, waiting for new leaks that never come, so I rewatched the trailers and tried to figure out where those scenes in the Red Keep will take place: Based on this information, maybe anyone has new thoughts regarding the storyline... By the way, I'm very intrigued by the fact what Olenna might be writing in her meeting with Cersei - any ideas?

But who would kill him? Sansa has no capacity to kill anyone

think about it...... tommen NOT being at cersei's trial....makes no sense cersei burning the sept of baelor with tommen inside.....makes no sense Right, both of it wouldn't make any sense. Though Cersei is on the "it's only me and Jaime" train now and seems to have lost the focus on her last remaining child somewhat after Tommen's conversion, it's absolutely not imaginable that she'd burn the sept knowing Tommen being inside. So my guess is she'll somehow lure him away from being there; it might work if she simply asked him to accompany her to the trial (as she herself of course won't be there at the time the thing is blown up), and then delay their departure long enough...

However I think if there were LSH scenes they were shot outside, in Iceland in August. If IF that Fairley interview is real she mentioned one day of shooting - warm day - in Iceland and I don't think she shot in Iceland previous to season 6 I think someone identified that forest bit as WF's Godswood unfortunately Yes, this scene takes place in the WF Godswood: So... IF LSH indeed is part of the Riverlands storyline AND meets Brienne there, she would get to know that Sansa is alive and on her way to Winterfell; thus also not having a very good reason to hang Brienne, who saved her daughter's life. Might even be a reason for her to "return home"; and I imagine a LF - LSH meeting at the exact place where we had a big Ned & Catelyn scene in S01E01 would be a dramatic highlight D & D would hardly skip...

lmao good job on the fast edit there GreenChili still got the notification tho if you insult me again, i'll report Sorry, it surely wasn't my intention to insult anyone (that was the reason for the edit, cause it shouldn't be an answer to your post, but to the whole thread)! I just like that Bronn quote ;-) .

Lawd, we've already had one defenestration. What a lame way to go, even if it is self-inflicted Jaime pushed Bran out of the window (literally), Cersei pushed Tommen out of the window (metaphorically) - there's so much poetry in it.

If we don't see Jorah again this season, I hope he looks a bit like stoneman next year and has to hide himself in a cape. Well any excuse for them to show a hooded figure in the trailer is a good one Hm, he'll certainly have a heart of stone then... maybe D & D will give HIM the role of... ah, I better shut up.

Ah, thank you very much for investigating! So Siete Reinos reported that, unfortunately without giving further information on how they know this... we'll have to wait and see if their information was right;-) .
