They're on the run, with the bulk of the iron-borns on their trail. They'll probably seek a larger army to join. Tara would probably favour Danerys, given her desire to leave a legacy, Theon may want to go to Jon, so he can purge his sins. Being in charge, Tara obviously followed her instincts, it wasn't even a discussion. Tommen's weak, he can be easily influenced, specially by Margery. It's her turn I find unexplained; the last time we saw her, she was still fighting and trying to keep Loras together, She's just pretending, that's better. The Hound still draws breath, well we didn't see him die, did we? On that note, we also didn't bear witness to Syrio Forel's demise, and he was from Braavos. Now Arya is wandering the streets of Braavos with her guts in her hands, this would be the "right" moment for another timely rescue. That jealous bitch from the House of Black and White has it coming to her. So, Sansa needs Petyr's help, after all. |

The bastards killed Ian McShane! Yeah I was surprised to see him, I was hoping for a bigger role from him too. The Hound is back though! Man what a nice surprise. I know it was rumored since we never officially saw him die, but I never expected it. Arya got ganked something good. You know she will get saved, but by who? It won't be by the Hound for now, but somehow I think these two may soon meet again. Also, Jon Snow's army is looking pretty pathetic. I know this won't last, but things sure look dire over there. |

I think the Hound's return was pretty much inevitable, he's not the type to just lie down and die. Be interesting to see if he ever encounters his brother again, I think that would be a reunion worth seeing. |

Turning off the lights... oldest DD trick in the book.

There have been so many show mysteries solved this season. This most recent episode was a bit weak in my opinion, but overall I am really enjoying this season so far.

Clueless and overconfident. "We've done this before", sure you have, when she was blind and you were training her with the stick. In the last session she was finally getting the upper hand, remember? But I guess that when you're feeling like Terminator, and your opponent is fleeing like Trinity, although her guts were just patched up, precaution goes flying out the window right behind your prey.

Yeah, the whole Arya arc from the last two episodes was by far the weakest part of the show IMO, and Sunday's episode the weakest of at least the season if not the series. It's as if she's learned absolutely nothing from her training, parading around so blatantly, and then the chase. For a shadow assassin organization, they were making all kinds of a ruckus and getting noticed, to say nothing of getting multiple gut wounds, falling into dirty water and doing acrobatics the next day? They stretched willing suspension of disbelief to breaking point, but eh, I'll just let it go. Really poor writing, though, IMO.

And they thought her to develop a radar sense, that's something. It could be argued, that she didn't expect her "friend" to set his attack dog loose. She was kind of pissed, when she confronted him at the end. Their stealth comes mainly from their chameleonic abilities, it doesn't really matter if they see you in public, when you can just wear another face. As for the rest, yes, that seem to be the general consensus. I also forgot to mention I liked the trick Jamie pulled on the Blackfish. I was actually expecting things to go down as Brienne proposed. It's nice to get a surprise here and there. |

Yeah, I can no-prize it or ignore it away enough to not derail my enjoyment of the show, but I do so fully aware it's bad writing and I am choosing to do so. As a side note, I cannot stand the actor who plays Edmuir Tully anymore, not because he's bad - far from it. I just can't not see his character from the show Outlander who is so loathsome and contemptible it's hard to ignore. So, good job on the actor's part.

My God, the Mountain went berserk. And speaking of Berserk, I'm getting a real Gerico vibe from this character. Only fans of the Berserk manga would know what I'm talking about, but Gerico is a similar giant mute that kills in horrific fashion.   Would love to see the Hound up against this thing, or better yet Brienne. |
