the lannisters put the bounty out for anyone to collect. i can't imagine they didn't send ravens to everyone telling them about the bounty. either way the hound should not have just been sent away without someone in the Vale being notified he was at the gate.

I was under the impression that the Vale weren't exactly "friendly" with the lannisters because they were one of the few pro-stark houses left

It is my assumption she is going to Braavos because the captain already told he would not go to The Wall. He said he is going to Braavos and then a lightbulb went off in her head and she pulled the coin out and said the magic words. But I guess it's possible he will take her wherever she wants to go since she said those words and gave him that coin.

I am of the opinion we can talk about this until we are blue in the face because not even Maesters know the answer. As long we continue to get odd indicators that something is up with Jon (ala Mel's staredown and offhand comments by others on the show) I see no reason why this can't be debated in all of the threads. You can't go in the Maester thread unless you read all the books and the same goes for the crackpot thread since there would be theories in there about things which we don't know yet.

It's possible, but doesn't make much sense

The assassin told her that if she ever changed her mind about going to Bravvos, show this coin to a local from there and say those words.

He didn't say "give someone from Bravvos this coin and say these words and they'll do whatever the frick you wanna do"

Plus what the hell is she gonna do on the wall?

it was just to get back to Jon that's as far as she thought that out.

technically i think it was "if you ever want to see me again" or something along those lines.

In all fairness, that's what she asked the dude at first - and it was to reunite with Jon. She was obviously closer to him than her other siblings, except, perhaps Brandon. She thinks all her brothers are dead, except Jon, and that Sansa is on the run (not knowing she was at the Eyrie) - so, you fall back on what you know.

But, it was obvious when ole boy said, "We're going home" and she confirmed that home was Braavos - THAT is when she played her Faceless Man coin.

Jon and Arya were the closest of the Stark siblings. They were both outcasts and not all that understood by the people of Winterfell, although Robb and Jon were pretty close as well.

I wish they would of done that Arya scene several weeks ago. Have her out of site out of mind for a few weeks then have the endings be her sailing under that big statue at the entrance to the braavos ports. Woulda been cool.

We don't talk about theories that haven't been appeared on the show in this thread. There is an 800 page thread on theories, which is really good.


examples
Theories on how/why the wildlings attacked the wall. Yes

Theories on who kills Jamie. No

Theories on who is Jon Snow's mother, does the mountain live. Only info to where we are on the show is at.

Jon actually seemed close to all of them, perhaps compensating for having a negative relationship with Cat.

Regarding Jon's parents, at the point in the books the show has reached there is no definitive answer. There are some hints in the books just as in the show, but who knows which could be a red herring. A big omission from the books by the show was the fever dreams Ned Stark had in Season 1.

Here is a recreation of the scene from the book for those who might want to see it: LINK

He wasn't very close with Sansa. At least not in the first book that I can tell.

Nope. Sansa kind of took after her mother, and while she didn't hate Jon, she looked down on him for being a bastard, while his other siblings didn't.

Good point - but Sansa only had a halfway decent relationship with Robb and maybe Bran. She and Arya were always at each other's throats.

ETA: Sansa's a b-word - by far, my least favorite Stark.

He used a poor example with Jaime. He means to say we can't theorize about things which may or may not happen in the books in the future, not to confirm or deny that any character is dead or alive.

I wouldn't say they were pro-Stark at all. Both of the Tully girls (Cate&Lysa) falsely accused the Lannister children of crimes. One of the girls was married to a Lord Stark the other to Lord Arryn. They are both dead, most of the Lords of the Vale(I think they have the most Lords of any kingdom, OLM Shark might know.) have no beef with either the Lannister or the Starks. The Vale decided to sit out the War of the 5 Kings.
