And they've killed off a pretty decent number of the hots (Ygritte, Ros, Robb's wife). And the others aren't really in situations where they'll be getting naked regularly (Cersei doesn't seem to be getting any, doubt they're going to show Maergery and the kid anytime soon). And Dany has the whole no nudity clause going now.

Cuts down on the potential nude scenes tremendously.



Pretty much all that's left is the Red Woman right? She's always ready to strip down. Or maybe, based on how Oberon was wired last season, some of the chicks in Dorne will be heavy on the nude.

This handy visual aid helped me out tremendously when I was confused.

This guy:

Is definitely not the same person as this guy:


Glad we got that cleared up.

I guess its because we were introduced to both characters near the same time, but I've never had a problem confusing the two. Surprising given that you are right - very similar looking.

Speaking of that time period of the show, I think the one random thing thats been lost over the seasons is that the group of dudes with the reincarnating guy (brotherhood without banners, I think) has never returned to the show. These guys were cool. Always figured they would hook up with the Hound or someone at some point.

Yeah, that was their initial encounter, way back in Season 2 or early Season 3. Since the time that Arya ran away from them, shortly after the trial by combat between the Hound and the reincarnator, they haven't been seen again. I figured someone would cross their paths again. I think I predicted it in last years thread and it doesn't appear to be coming true, but I thought they might find the Hound after his fight with Brienne and bring him back and then he would join up with them. It seemed an appropriate pairing, regardless of their previous dispute.

That would have been pretty cool!

I don't remember anything about it before. So far the only info is that is its name, and a man who is not jaqen lives there.

You know far, far more than this.

You know that a Braavosi merchant captain was familiar with the iron coin that Jaqen gave to Arya and that the simple possession of that coin caused him (1) to transport a little girl thousands of miles at no charge and (2) to personally (as opposed to an ordinary sailor in his employ) deliver her to the "House of Black & White."

You know that the merchant captain stated that "any man of Braavos" would have done the same, meaning that everyone in the city knows the meaning of the coin and the importance of its possessor.

You know that the Braavosi bravos who were picking a fight with Arya were terrified of the old man from the House of Black & White. Given that he was not wearing any distinctive insignia, we can assume that his robe is symbolic and also well-known in Braavos.

You know that (at a minimum) the old man from the House had the same ability as Jaqen to change his face. (Given that knowledge, is the new "Jaqen" the same man ... or simply someone wearing the same face?

You know that the Small Council of King Robert Baratheon (first of his name) considered hiring a Faceless Man from Braavos to dispose of Danerys Targaryen, but discarded the idea because the cost would be greater than hiring an entire company of sellswords.

Interestingly, you know that (back at Harrenhall) Jaqen offered to give three lives to the "Red God" in exchange for the three lives that Arya took from him. Yet the robes of the temple priest seem to bear little resemblance to the red robes of Mellisandre and Thoros.

See, you know quite a lot, and you have at least one interesting question to answer.

Except almost all of that comes from the most recent episode of a show starting its 5th season. The discussion was about the House of B&W being mentioned before which it wasn't...

You know nothing Jon snow.

all they told you is that you get the coins and someone from Braavos will take you where you're going.notice the sea captain didn't take her just two brothers but the house itself.

No, the name of the building had not been mentioned before Season 5. But we know much, much more about it than the name of the building and the (sort of) identity of one of its inhabitants.

My point is that anyone who knows only these two things ... well, that person has not been paying attention.

I did not remember this. Very interesting. Any idea on the season/episode that happened?

Must have been first season, because Ned Stark was serving as the Hand and opposed this course of action (morally). Baelish opposed it due to cost.

I'm assuming Arya can't just "learn" the ability to become faceless, can she? I would think that is an ability you are born with, like warging. But who knows. Will be interesting to see what she does. I find her storyline the most intriguing of the season so far.

As for Jon Snow - do we think he tries to unite the wildlings with the Night's Watch? If he does I'm guessing a hell of a lot of crows will oppose him pretty hard.

Wild theory of the day:

The lord of light guys will come across The Hound's corpse and will revive him, and Sansa and Littlefinger will come across him. Zombie Hound will then become Sansa's personal undead knight and she will take vengeance on everyone.

I figured when we didn't see the Hound actually die (and in fact, explicitly show him only dying, but not dead yet), that he would stay in play. Also, the fact that they bothered to show his fight with Brienne and his falling off the cliff in the ep 1 refresher makes it likely he's still around. We'll see, I'm surprised we haven't touched that storyline yet if so, and I also have a hard time seeing Littlefinger and him as part of a party together. But Sansa and him do have some background.

We also saw the crazy Lannister doctor last episode asking for the dwarf head and he was the one tending to the Mountain last year... I wonder if we'll see some paralleled return of the Hound and Mountain in the same episode, when its time.

I'm not guessing they fight (yet). Just maybe they'll both make their reemergence into the world/show in the same ep. Arya is still including the Mountain in her kill list, so he'll need to return soon.

Speaking of, who was the 4th name in Arya's list? I couldn't understand her (even rewound to listen again). Cersei, Walder Frey, Mountain, and ???

Meryn Trant. He's the guy who killed her instructor (Syrio Forel).


Edit: You may remember Trant's name from the conversation between Arya and The Hound, when The Hound laughs and says something along the lines of, "the greatest swordsman is dead at the hands of Meryn F'ing Trant?"

Aggiehank.....do you mind shutting down on this thread?

I'm 99% sure they've said NOTHING regarding your comment about the Mountain, and the way you're reminding all of us what we should have been listening for, 4 years ago in season 1 tells me you're a book reader or spoiler thread reader and wanting to let all of us know how smart you are.

Right, I think Falcon may have been guessing at the 4th name (for the reason you listed), but it was Trant. I remember that now.
