re: Game of Thrones S6:E3 "Oathbreaker" Bookreader Thread

Put the milk of the poppy down man

Had the show developed Aryas warging ability or wolf dreams this would be easier


However no cat was present when fighting the waif

I can't determine a viable scenario where a girl ends up in the Riverlands. There has to be some payoff for her training though. She isn't just gonna become no one and spend her days washing dead bodies I hope

Does Ramsey know anything about the wall? Serious question, he might know nothing of it and not know if it is defended or not.

in the episode where he killed roose, i think there was a conversation about attacking castle black becaus eit had no defenses to the south

And I pointed out that the Faceless Men sure as hell would not send Arya after him. They know it's personal for Arya, and Arya would be literally the worst choice to send after Walder Frey. It's possible she leaves on her own accord, but that's it.

---

That's assuming she becomes a true faceless man after they confront her with needle. She hid it in the rocks and they almost certainly know about it.

The whole "it was given to Arya, lost, came back to Weasel, lost.......it doesn't belong to Arya. It belongs to me" is not going to fly, IMO. "Me" is someone. Arya is claiming to be no one.

Ergo, Arya goes back to Westeros as Arya, but with a lot of nasty skills.

So far in the books, the only punishment for not wanting to be no one is being thrown out of the House of Black and White, not death.

Arya's arc is the most mysterious to me. I really don't know where it's headed. In the books I think she'll kill Varys, but seeing how radically different Varys is in the show, I can't say that at all as even probable.

The show will have a tough time timing her return to Westeros, much more so than the books will. I do think that the return of her sight signifies a completion of her training as a faceless man though and they might set her to task in this season. I just have no idea where they take her. I would also be surprised if the Faceless Men would allow to walk away from them without a fight. I could see her killing someone on her list and taking their identity without the Faceless Men knowing and leaving under that guise and then setting up a small house of Black and White in westeros.

You do realize Castle Black has no walls to defend it from the south and hardly any men? Ramsay wouldn't break a sweat taking Castle Black. Any men with the Night's Watch plus the army of Wildlings would be a tough fight with an intelligent leader. Drawing him away from the wall cuts the numbers down. Plus, in the books the Wildling numbers are much higher than we have seen since they occupied several towers and farmlands. Does Ramsey know anything about the wall? Serious question, he might know nothing of it and not know if it is defended or not.

We have to remember that it probably won't just be Jon leading them. He has Davos now, and he's been in plenty of battles at sea and on land.

quote:

Where is the last place we saw davos in the book, on the way to get Rickon? I guess it is plausible that Davos does retrieve Rickon and delivers him to the North and still gets to the wall to join Jon putting Rickon and Davos in near the same spots as where they would be.

---

Yes he's on his way to find the rick in the book after his death was faked by Manderly.

On the show I don't think Davos has ever said Rickon's name, but they aren't that far from each other.

After Jon being brought back I would think Davos is only following him, so Jon doesn't need to lead an entire Wildling army by himself. The Wildlings have numbers but aren't used to fight armies. They outnumbered Stannis by a lot and that battle, on tv, lasted like a minute

I'm still hoping since Rickon has been with the Umbers for like 3 seasons it's all a trick.

There was those spoilers though about Rickon when Jon and Ramsay meet on the battlefield. I hope that's not the case
