How do you guys watch the episode live? Are there live streaming links? They don't show it simulcast in my country  And if neither of these links work you can always just google "HBO live stream" and you should find something. At least that's what I'll be doing, so if they don't work I will post something  Thanks both  |

Not too mention one of the first things Robb did as the Lord of Winterfell is call the banners. Surely Boltons would have done this to ensure more numbers in the battle to come.

One quibble I've had with this story line is that there has been very little discussion of whether Northern lords support the Boltons and how confident they are in their support or whether it's common knowledge that Sansa is married to Ramsay now. I get we can't see them all, but it feels a bit uninhabited. In fact, that plays into my one major critique of the show vs the books. The population feels much smaller, less established, the Houses less storied. |

The population feels much smaller, less established, the Houses less storied. I agree. There is a lack of lords doing anything in the show. I get that its to save screentime and casting, but nearly every lord who isnt a parmount or high lord is only ever mentioned in passing. Would be good if they had a bit of set up of the lords being pissed at the Boltons, instead of just conforming to their rule like they never gave a crap about the Starks to begin with. None of them really seem very rebellious. Sure that one lord refused to pay his taxes to Ramsay, and the Mormont girl wrote hate mail to Stannis, but other than that they dont do much. |

Those two small things at least showed the Boltons are not wanted by the other houses. Plus, don't forget they played up the underground movement thing within Winterfell which ended badly with the old Lady getting flayed by Ramsay. All of those things add up to a lot of discontent when put together. True, it's not as much as was explained in the books. They never went there with the Lady Hornwood story which was pretty damn gruesome. If they'd talked more about that or added the Manderly story in there (which was brilliant and a missed opportunity with Frey Pies of course) it would have helped establish just how much the north hates the Boltons. But still, they've conveyed it in the small ways they have enough show fans will remember as much as the north remembers. |

they don't really need to have speaking parts. but for example the group of people roose had around the map in the last episode could have been nothern lords and they could have just spent a minute more in that scene to establish there are other lords there. eg Manderly i want you to form the vanguard if it comes to war.
Or for example they could have had Lady Dustin be the Old Woman whos on her side and they could have had a conversation about ramsay pre-wedding.
it would just give the illusion that there are armies and other lords there without having to show it.

Well, the episode title definitely does NOT refer to Selyse! #gethype

^it refers to Cersei. i think the high sparrow even said 'the mother's mercy' in episode 507 when talking about punishment for the tyrells.

First scene: Team Dany left to wonder what to do without her
Last scene: For the Watch (LSH if she is in, what I doubt)

I think this finale will have Tyrion and maybe Jorah? doing Barristan's job and imprison HizzyDany having her vision quest in the Dothraki Sea Boltons preparing for Battle of Ice Stannis talking with Theon and Sansa and preparing for the battle Cersei's Walk of Shame For the Watch Varys offing some people at KL Someone releasing Viserion and Rhaegal And obviously Arya will do something, but I have no idea what. The bolted seems unlikely.  |
