So, you're saying they did away with the dogs and replaced this girls as the "bitches"? Because in the books I'm pretty sure they were actual dogs.
Oh, without a doubt. His hunting hounds that went everywhere with him, even to Winterfell. It just felt like Martin was making an attempt to stay true to the text, so to speak.
What does it say when it's cheaper and easier to get attractive women to disrobe on camera than to pay trainers, vets, Humane Society reps, legal fees, etc to have a couple of Blue Ticks slobber around for ten minutes?

of unsullied. 8,000 isn't much relative to the armies in Westeros. Only Stannis commands fewer than that and most of the the other armies are 20,000+ strong.
20,000-man armies are all nice, but most of them are levies that just hold pikes and act as arrow fodder. As such they have little discipline. The Unsullied, on the other hand, have insane discipline. That's why we got the story about the 3,000 Unsullied standing up to the Dothraki. The Unsullied aren't going to be intimidated by charging knights; their phalanxes would wreck an armored charge.

Appears to be.
Also looks like we are finally getting to see Sam the Slayer.

So Arya is now hooked up with Sandor........
Does that mean we get the scene at the inn soon? When she gets needle back?

They've been alluding to a lot of death/dark imagery with Arya. Even more so then usual. I'm thinking at the very least we get to see her kill someone else before this season is over with just by the contextual clues they've been making all season. Obviously part of it is foreshadowing but I think part of it is hinting at something that'll happen in the short term.

I thought the pyramids were out of place, combined with the Slaver's bragging of the city walls / defenses would bring us the "rats" soon.
Who are the YunKai's "Powerful friends"?
They aren't going to use this to introduce the bitter steel beneath the gold I hope.

Arya's story makes me sad. She's lost her innocence at at very young age. Definitely have a hard time seeing her have any semblance of a somewhat happy ending when the series ends.

I'm thinking the Iron Bank, who will finance all the armies that come to lay seige to her after she takes the city.

They killed off the tickler but i think (hope) that she kills the Hound in similar way. Sandor death will have a bigger impact anyway.

i doubt that will be the case
the Hound is supposed to be a character that we eventually pity and kinda pull for
to have Arya kill him would mean that she killing someone who is on a redemption arc in the story
not to mention he may not even be dead in the books
ETA: Arya would also be killing the man who saved her own sister's life from a Kings Landing mob bent on raping and likely killing her

Yeah, I'm trying to think who she could kill.
Although the HBO seems to lead up to her killing the hound (due to her hatred of him), this is questionable because I suspect a large role for him in future books.
Alternatively she could kill the Bolton's Locke character but she has no connection to him.
I hope we get a similar scene but not sure how they will make it work.
Maybe she and the hound run into the Lannister Raiding party at the inn.......

I did really enjoy the Hound/ayra banter(or lack thereof) at the end of SOS so i hope we get a lot of it but i think she kills him. Mainly because someone needs to die.

you read the books? Sandor aint dead

So, next episode= Daario, Coldhands, Melisandre's Kingsblood, the little Wolf Bitch's stone assassination attempt on the Hound (hope the watchers enjoy their repartee as much as the readers)?????
Episode 9= red wedding, the Hound and Arya fighting on the outskirts ????
Episode 10= Mhysa- the sacking of Yunkai, Jon Snow leaving the Wildlings/Thenns during murder of the old man and after Summer goes down and fricks shite up.
Davos still needs to get the letter from Castle Black about the Others.
Bran still has to meet Sam at the Nightfort.
They'll probably wait for the Purple Wedding for next season as well as Sansa's escape with Petyr.

maybe it'll be a frey or bolton bannerman after she hears about the Red Wedding
she might hear him bragging about it or something

Yeah given the suspicions that the Hound is alive even at the end of ADwD, I sincerely doubt they will kill off the Hound.

i am still finishing feast, just got to the point where priest or whatever told Brianne that he buried him. So i am gathering now that he may have been mislead.
