Women traveling alone is incredibly reckless in westeros. Which is why she tried to look like a boy when she was traveling with the nights watch.

She tried to look like a boy because she specifically was being searched for and appearing like a girl would have put her at risk of being captured by the Lannisters.

With the killing of all the Freys, does Edmure become lord of the river lands? Isn't he still just chilling in the freys dungeon?

Well with the lannisters in control - maybe they put someone there but they don't have many people and made too many enemies - Dany, Tyrell's, Martells, Iron Bank of Bravos (really hope they just didn't drop their name a bunch and not actually show any action from them).

When Arya was at harrenhal and Tywin showed up he even said how much smarter it was for a girl to travel as a boy. Girls get taken advantage of all the time in Westeros. When the Hound and Arya showed up at that inn all the Lannister soldiers were taking advantage of the innkeepers daughters.

Any decision that results in less Catelyn is a good one.

Episode 2 teaser

Got a chance to step frame by frame through the S7E2 trailer. One thing I didn't catch live was it looks like between seconds 14 and 15 one of the Sand Snakes (Tyene because of the daggers? Face is kind of blurry because of the motion and the hair is down) attacking someone. Leads me to believe that Ellaria and the rest of the Sand snakes could be the target of Euron? Who else would she be trying to stab/fight off? Are the Dorne forces already at Dragonstone or will the fleet have to now leave Dragonstone and go pick them up?

Any idea who is strangling LF?

Looks like a solid scissor scene as well.

To attack Dorne they would need to sail south (unless for some reason they go by foot)

To sail south they'll have to exit blackwater bay with 1,000 ships. Unless dany's navy is just docked at the port in dragonstone, that would be an impossible task without being spotted. Whether either party knows the other is in the bay remains to be seen, but Euron's fleet is basically trapped. If Dany is unaware that Euron is there- and I would assume this is the case, then that tilts the balance back to Euron. Dany will probably send out a few patrol ships, and they would be easily routed by Eurons fleet. From there he could continue to dorne, or just decide to burn the rest of Danys navy in a stealth attack, which would be like fish in a barrel if they're docked at the port of dragonstone.

I'd think a naval battle is inevitable, the mouth of blackwater bay is too small to sneak a fleet out into the narrow sea from kings landing. We do know that Ellaria and Yara make out next week, but I don't think it's impossible that one or both are captured by Euron after this and then he proceeds to Dorne to rape and pillage

Rewatching the episode, Sansa was the only Northern born person who wasn't in agreement with Jon in allowing Allyce Karstark and Ned Umber to keep their land and titles. Perhaps she isn't as smart as she thinks she is like Cersei.

I mean a naval battle has been inevitable since Theon and Yara were on a burning ship in the trailer.

Jon's "I'm finna choke a bitch" face in this pic from next weeks answers your question.
