Damn girl, that's some serious drunk posting.

And I think LF gonna be sorely disappointed if all she lets him do is have the tip touch it.

But seriously, her offering him some sort of reward (if the letter breakdowns are correct) is completely unnecessary. He already offered her the Knights of the Vale. And just because she turned him down, if she just said that she's had time to reconsider and is will to let him prove that he is on her side now, of course LF would march on Winterfell. But if the letter breakdown is true, then she's going to offer him a reward, and all she can really offer him is her hand in marriage. But maybe she feels she has to make 100% sure LF comes since she knows Jon's army isn't big enough to take Ramsay (why Jon & Davos don't see this, I don't know), and there is no one else to come and help. But damn, she could've had the Vale without a "reward" for LF if she would've not let her emotions get the best of her at Mole Town.

In the book isn't Loras mortally wounded storming the castle against Blackfish? Surely they won't have Jamie assume that plot twist???

Nihilists?! frick me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of The Seven, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

That's what they told Cersei at least. I highly doubt that actually happened.

No he stormed a different castle, the one on dragon stone. It was just Jaime and the Freys in river run.

Didn't read it all the way through. Yes it is Dragonstone and not Riverrun. But I still think Loras is fine and that's a lie that they simply told Cersei. I'm thinking he's off either to Storm's End or Oldtown.

It was Dragonstone, but who held the castle? If I remember correctly it was still held by Stannis's peeps .

I could be completely wrong in this but I'm gonna take a crack at it. The ultra left GRRM, D&D, and HBO in general are making men to be dumb, weak, followers of women (Jaime with Cersei, Jon with Sansa, and Tyrion with Dany) my $0.02

Maybe from HBO & D&D. But I think it'll go down differently in the books. I think in the books we will get a true GNC that will help Jon take Winterfell. I mean, Sansa & LF might still ride south and join Jon's army, but I think Jon will have a lot more of the northern houses with him when he marches on Winterfell, and the most of the ones that are with the Boltons will turn to help the Starks take Winterfell back.

You are right, I will fix it.

Thanks.

And thanks for starting the thread.

My predictions for the episode:

1- Hound will "give the gift" to those outlaws/BwB. And not in a "little vial of poison" kind of way.

2- Arya will live. I'm not sure which of the (many) theories put forth will accomplish it. And really, I don't care that much. I just hope they keep it simple and believable. Then she will likely hop a ship west. (Though I would kind of like to see her go the Mereen just to tell Tyrion how much she enjoyed that play's depiction of him).

3- Jamie will show some maturity and strategic thinking and get River Run back. Perhaps by making Edmure an offer he can't refuse and restoring it to him on the condition that he pays homage to the crow (and probably accept the Freys as his overlord as well). I don't think he'll drop his Cersei feelings because I think they may be saving that for some kind of big event down the line to make it more "shocking".

4- I wish there was some indication of Frey pie but I'm not seeing any. Will make me sad if they don't include that at some point.

Anyway, that's what I got. Admittedly just speculation.

The Aerys theory is pretty thin, and since it can't possibly be played out (who in the world would know this and be able to prove it?), it probably isn't true.




Selmy is alive in the books but it's the dragon's affinity to the Targ bloodline that's been foreshadowed throughout the story.

Personally I like the Arya = Waif theory.

Here is an interesting pic from the latest batch they put out for this episode.

I'll just link it instead of incorporating the actual image in case anyone doesn't want to see it.

In general terms, it is a picture of the Waif standing in a doorway/passageway. And there is something in the background that might mean nothing at all. But which seems designed to get fans talking and speculating.

Picture

I'm pretty sure these pics come from HBO themselves. Kind of like the episode previews. But I think each person should have the choice whether they want to look at them or not.

Indeed. If it's who I think it is, that'll be an interesting plot twist...especially going forward.
