Great episode, lots of the points here have been made. The "No one" line from Arya was just too awesome. LF has to be crapping his pants at this point. Arya is so freaking dangerous at this point.

I like where they are going with Bran but I'm waiting for him to go from simply being a guy that knows everything to someone that actually wants to affect things.

I didn't really get though how Jon only has 10k men in the North though since he has the full power of the Vale behind him and they have only been in one battle where they won decisively. The Vale should have 20 or 30k by itself.

Love Bronn and Jaime but one of them needs to die in that battle, also where in the hell was the elder Tarly? He is telling the men to form up and then he disappears. Can't imagine he would just die without showing it though I guess they could show his body at the beginning of the next episode.

I agree a dragon will die at some point in all likelihood but it is really hard to kill one. Essentially their only weak spot is their eyes or if their mouth is open, especially with mature dragons like Dany has now. Of course the show may not follow the same theme of the books there.

BTW, did Ghost die and they just didn't show us? Haven't seen him in forever and I can't believe they missed the chance to have Dany and Jon meet for the first time with Jon with his wolf and Dany with her Dragons.

Pretty clear they are setting up a Jon and Dany marriage, it solves the problem of "bending the knee" and Jon is the most obvious choice even before they discover they are related.

Yeah it was no problem for Oberyn and if anything, Arya is a mix of Oberyn and Syrio

I think that is most people's peeve about Ghost. It would have been so cool to see him in the main chamber next to Jon.

I assume the Tarlys, Jaime and Bronn are now prisoners. Will be an interesting interaction between Jaime and Tyrion. They are close, but Tyrion did kill daddo, although it was necessary.

If a dragon dies, can Arya remove the face and become a dragon?

Underrated post!

Interesting that the Golden Company was brought up - I wonder if they stay loyal to the BlackFyre mission or eventually switch to the winning (Danny) side

Gawwwwd DAAAANNNNGGGG did they finally deliver for once. I'm hoping the rest of the season is a coninfuous fight from here on out.

Few things I noticed:
Brand is still a freaking weirdo, but no doubt will have some conversations letting folks know about events pertaining to them and influencing their decision making skills COUGH COUGH Sansa, you easily manipulated kiddo.

Now that Arya is back, how is LF going to survive. I think his next play will be to try and kill her while turning Sansa against her brother. "He's been past the wall, etc. he's a wilding."

The queen K is going to lose a dragon and I think it's going to be the main one she was riding last night. Can't think of his name (Did I just assume the dragons gender?!?). I also think she's going to take Jamie and he other young lad (not born) hostage now and use them as bait/ransom for Cersi. Bronn Peaced out

How would you feed a direwolf on a sea journey lasting at least a couple of weeks? Ghost hunts his own food free roaming the north and comes home after he eats. That would be a boatload (pun intended) of meat required to keep him fed. Not to mention there is nothing on Dragonstone for him to hunt. It is a small island. Makes much more sense to leave him at home.

I don't disagree but they're playing pretty fast and loose with traveltime, logistics, and supply chain anyway. Whoever invented open-source teleportation in Westeros so that everyone can use it was a kind soul but has perpetrated a lot of carnage and mayhem as a result. Gotta think that has incurred a considerable amount of paperwork.

LFs only shot is turning the sisters against each other. While all the Starks have had hardships, it seems Sansa has had little gain. Jon is KITN. Bran, although a cripple is now the TER. Arya is basically the deadliest person in Westeros. Sansa is still Sansa. LF will try and split the girls. Its his only shot

It won't work because Arya doesn't care about being "Lady Stark". There is noting LF has that Arya wants and if she feels threatened by him he's a dead man. LF is really in big trouble, I don't see his path out barring a lot of luck.

Meh, It's not really that far from White Harbour to Dragonstone. This is really less of an issue about this trip anyway as much as a "Where is Ghost?" I mean how was he not at Battle of the *******s or when Jon went to meet Ramsay? He's just gone.

Sort of on the priority mail aspect. I do think they had the gold priortized to the front to get inside the gates (which it made it inside per Tarly), but in the process, they left themselves strung out over a distance and vulnerable toward the rear as a result (pardon the pun, Renly).

The first scene is talking how the gold shipment made it through the gates of KL safely.

No gold was taken during the battle.

Right. That was the conversation between Tarly and Jaime. The last of the gold was inside the gates. but the rear of the train was exposed and needed to move more quickly. That's when Tarly suggests whipping stragglers to motivate speed and Jaime is all "whoa, these guys just kicked ass. Let's not start whipping anyone without fair warning at least"

So they must have been within 10-20 Miles of KL. Figure than 20 miles is an average days march.

Exactly! Bran already knows what's going to happen and that the dagger is meant to be with Arya. She's going to F Littlefinger up!

Do we know that Little Finger tried to kill Bran? And is this spoiler for episode four only or for the books, too? Because in the books it is implied that it was a different character.

Anything that is books or in that leaked episode. Don't post any of the leaked text info about the WHOLE season.

That was awesome. I feel like all that time we watched Arya in Bravos is about to pay off. The entire scene with her and Brienne was badass. Sansa's "holy sh*t" face was great.

FTFY

I really feel like Arya is overpowered at this point. Is there a legitimate reason why she couldn't just end the war single-handedly? What is the point of all the troops dying on both sides of this war when she could just talk to Jon, go to King's Landing, and kill Cersei, Jamie, Qyburn, Robert Strong and the rest, without breaking a sweat? That would likely end the war, or at least throw things into chaos enough to make the conquering easy for Dany. I know that that's not what's going to happen because the entire show has been building to this war, but is there a reason from the perspective of the characters in the show that it shouldn't?

I should really stop *****ing about this and just sit back and enjoy it. I gotta remind myself that it's not supposed to be realistic.

Rewatched it a few times and this line didn't ring a bell, what's it in reference to?

LF told Varys long ago that chaos was a ladder when describing how he wanted chaos because it creates the most opportunities.

That was more emotion from Bran than I've seen since he became the TER. It would leave me to believe it's something bigger than just killing LF.

Yep this was the most insightful scene regarding littlefinger. It tells you exactly what his role is in the game of thrones.

Who was LF talking about? Was the ***** Joffey torpedoed an informant to Varys? **** I need to watch all the seasons again.

Yes. That's why it cuts to the scene of Joff and her corpse.
