6x07 POST-Episode Discussion (airs 5th June)

Maybe that's why Mel wasn't on this week. They're saving her for the big confrontation between her and Davos? 

Rewatchign now, I feel really annoyed by how dumb Arya was, strolling around the streets of Braavos with her guard down when she knows she just pissed of a guild of magical assassins. Three hits to the stomach with a long dagger too, it's also dumb for her to survive that without some actual magic to help her. It felt a bit like bad writing to me.

I don't even know the name of the actor who plays Benjen. 

I'm telling you, my spidey senses are tingling here ... they are tricking us somehow because those stab wounds were most definitely mortal ones - just as bad as the ones Jon got minus one to the heart for a killing blow. It did feel weird she's just going to stand there on a bridge completely unaware. In the closing scene of last week's episode we saw her take Needle and then hide in some sort of dungeon or underground place... and this week she's strolling around Braavos in a different costume and no needle? Something smells fishy don't you think? Plot twist incoming for sure.



I definitely think it was a good call to leave Melisandre out of the meetings with Northern Lords. They are superstitious and already mistrusting enough. Bring in a priestess from a strange religion who was last known to be supporting Stannis and you've got a bad first impression for sure. Granted Davos also was supporting Stannis but he's less noticeable that way and I did catch he left that part out of his explanation to Lady Mormont too clever old goat. 

That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Joseph Mawle has appeared in four episodes and has always been a guest star whereas Rory was a regular for four seasons. That is the reason why his name is in the opening credits. It has literally nothing to do with which you think is a bigger surprise. Not sure what's so hard to grasp about it. Mawle is a guest star. Rory is a main cast member.

Here's a little bit of detail from Rory McCann and Ian McShane about the scenes they had together. It was really enjoyable to hear from both of them about how they feel on their characters.



And here's the 'Inside-The-Episode' for those who didn't see it after the episode aired.

he did the same to one of the freys in the book too. this was the part of his riverlands sl i was most looking forward to.

Jaqen also told The Waif, "Don't let her suffer." Arya was clearly suffering with multiple stab wounds. That's why I thought Jaqen would be testing both The Waif and Arya. Tom Wlaschiha said in interviews that Jaqen might have his own agenda too.

The only problem with this theory is that Arya isn't dead so how would Jaqen wear her face. However, she did drink the water in THoBaW and so did the sick girl who's face Arya took when she killed Meryn Trant.
