There was still an heir, and the war broke out because Ned found out that Joffrey wan't Robert's son.

The waif doesn't belong with the Faceless Men. She wants to kill Arya. She has since Jaqen took her in as she believes Arya doesn't belong. She smiles at the opportunity when Jaqen finally tells her to take Arya out. Jaqen knows that Arya is not meant for the Faceless Men and that a price has to be paid for her leaving. He is leaving it up to fate to decide who's death pays that price.



I'm down with this. Arya will kill the waif, become the waif and skip town to go knock some more people off her list.

But we know that she is running like a bat out of hell from someone in the season 6 trailer. I don't see her hurdling off of buildings to try and avoid the waif. If she isn't running from Jaqen, then who is she running from?

Maybe a mob of people after she killed someone?

Tommen has already taken a bold action putting Jamie in his place and soon he will realize that his mother is not a positive influence.


The HS has already been planting that seed about his mother in Tommen's head. In this episode, I think he even directly said to Tommen in the Sept "Margary is not like your mother". I can't remember exactly the whole exchange but it was a definite dig at Cersei.

In retrospect, you are obviously correct. The thrown will be up for grabs and the High Septon might well be viewed as the authority until a new king is determined. Meanwhile Daenarys will be coming to take the crown.


and at present, a VERY interesting "calm" has been established in king's landing. the tension between the church & crown has been resolved, the common poeple obviously approve of it, they seem to like tommen & margaery, and bloodshed has been avoided.

in the short term, i would think that the present situation there is "preferable" to dany riding in with tens of thousands of desert warriora and three dragons, coming to tear down walls & shite. if the people (and their lords and armies) get comfortable with a new status quo, and can focus on the threat from the north, what do they need dany tp overthrow the crown for?

I think in the trailer she is running away before Jaqen finds the dead waif body with no face. She's gotta catch that boat before he catches up to her!

Agree.

Where does the boat go?

I don't see that happening. He has a hot wife who wants to have sexy time all the time. He can go cry over his mom in bed with Margary all day. No need to kill himself. I still think the Mountain is going to kill Tommen and it's going to be Cersei's fault.

I'm hoping she jumps on the boat with Theon while their ships are in harbor. Remember that scene from the trailer where Yara is hooking up with a slave girl?

So the next episode features the writer's favorite sequence in 6 seasons of this show so far. I have no idea what that could be.

Edit: just posted in the new thread. Makes more sense to discuss there.

Agree with many posters that Arya will kill the waif and complete this next step of training. She will be the one sent to kill someone in Westeros, likely someone on her list. She already blends in as a nobody small girl and it's doubtful many would recognize her.


Pretty sure getting needle and running away ends her chances of working for the faceless men once and for all. Killing the waif will get her off the hook because the faceless God will have his due, but that's the end of her career as an assassin.

Assuming they go to Braavos...and Braavos is a free city.

What about Lancel? Did they just show him on the steps to beat a dead horse that he's with the HS? Maybe, maybe not. It could be foreshadowing.

Think about this. My crackpot theory. Lancel, has seen political shenanigans before. The HS is obviously in it for power. Who better to recognize the power grab of the HS than Lancel? Lancel had a first hand look at the political machinations of the Lannisters. The HS was smiling at the end of the showdown with the Lannisters and the Tyrells. Not a trait of a devout man which he is supposed to be. Maybe Lancel noticed this? Not now, but in the future.

Lancel gave up a lot to become a devotee of the HS. Certainly more than his brothers in the faith militant, who I'm sure was a step up for some of them.

I theorize that Lancel will turn on the HS. Maybe to become the HS himself. I mean who else has given up more than him. He is a true devotee.

I say this thinking that I'm reading to much into the situation. I'm not sure that D&D would do it, but I'm sure that GRRM could do it. Not that he will. It's just my crackpot theory.

They did do that close up of Lancel at an odd time. Would be great if he and Kevan Lannister had a plan to take over the Lannister family.

There is something else going on in Arya story line.

If she kills waif, she knows she will be marked for death by the facedancers and they will get her probably sooner rather than later.
