6x08 POST-Episode Discussion (airs 13th June)

Honestly, it's not a spoiler. I don't have any inside information, just more speculation based on what was said in the Throne room in this episode. No need to blow in into something it's not. It's covered now so no one can think I was passing along confirmed info (it's not).

Nobody knows anything about Loras and what happens to him guys. I've been in leaks thread too. King Tommen made a speculative guess that sounded like a spoiler based on what we know from scenes already played out in the show. Bran had visions of wildfire, we know the mad king had stashes of it under the city, and we know Qyburn has some rumor he hinted at to Cersei. "Much More..." ... sounds an awful lot like he knows about the wildfire, right? But it's just a guess. No leaks told that.

So what's the purpose of the Brotherhood now? Because I can't find one.

So anyways, let's speculate about BwB a bit (man I'm such a sucker for target practice) ...

Can I say I'm pleased as punch at the way they twisted that around? I carefully stayed out of most all BwB politics debates because I truly had no clue as to what was going to happen. I loved it. I love they were hanging men who broke off from them and put a smear on their reputation. It shows how weird things get in war ... where the lines get blurred (as with Brienne and Jaime but on a smaller level among the 'average' people).

I also like the human side of Sandor we're seeing come out. I think he's going to join them and I think they're right, he's not too far gone and he can be a lot of help in the bigger war to come.

Yes I know a lot of people are confused as to why the BwB would turn their attention northward but is it really a stretch to imagine they (like Melisandre) wouldn't see the bigger picture?

All of this is starting to make sense to me... everything is slowly simmering down into a strange brew - everyone combined will fight the White Walkers. It's really where it's going - is this a massive surprise?

Seems like they're going to be joining up with Mel up North eventually to rally the Lord of Light's followers against the WW's.

I think as far as the plot goes, they probably are there to bring the Hound back into the orbit of our main cast. They seemed to hint in their scene that the Lord of Light is keeping them around to fulfill a purpose and I would guess that's to get the Hound where he's supposed to be.

And although there's zero indication of this that we're aware of, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to take out the Frey's in some form or another. It had been mentioned by Walder that the BwB were aligning the smallfolk against them.

I wonder if Arya teams up with them in season 7.

I could see Arya reuniting with Gendry next season if he comes back that is. 

That would be a good way to bring Gendry back into the story too, if he learns how to forge Valyrian steel to fight the WW. Maybe Varys also has plans for him since he was the one to arrange his escape from KL when Robert's bastards were killed.

Shit.
