    <p>She had a long chat with the Sparrow and we're starting to really think Margery is all in on what the Sparrow is serving up. She's very convincing, as you can see even Queen of Thornes is convinced. The Sparrow told Margery that the Queen of Thornes is a sinner and needs to reform.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>From memory I think the opening scene was introducing us to The Hound's new life. Long story short: he is big and strong (suitably demonstrated by him carrying a log Commando style while everyone else goes 4 men to a log) and chops trees like a boss. We learn that the preacher (Saloon owner from Deadwood TV show) found him rotting and assumed he was dead but somehow survived, <strong>apparently kept alive by hate</strong>. Hound thinks it's because he is a 'big fucker and tough to kill'. Preacher guy thinks it's because the Gods haven't finished with him yet.</p>

    <p>I took the opposite from that scene - that she's playing along, and on this occasion it was to get her Nan out of Westeros asap. </p>

    <p>I actually can't tell what annoys me more anymore, the stupid religious order that should have been fucked up by now or the Boltons. </p>

    The drawing of the Highgarden rose that she slipped to Olenna would certainly indicate that her loyalties are still firmly Tyrell.

    <p>The mention the the Umbers and Carr-Starks had sided with the Boltons kinda differs form the absolute loyalty those in the north have in the books too.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Wonder if Arya and the Hound will see one another again?</p>

    <p>I agree she is playing along, but I don't think we're supposed to know for sure until she hands Nan the rose drawing. However, JK would have seen that bit so was just trying to set the scene for what happened before.</p>

    <p>I reckon Marg is playing Tommen too (I don't think he's in on it)</p>

    <p>would seem odd to involve a kid, but then I'd of thought equally odd for a kid to tell the HS that his wife isn't putting out?</p>

    <p>That would be really cool - unless that bitch wanted to draw out Arya's death I can't see how anyone would believe she'd fluff it so badly. She got in a fair few stabs and a good twist before Arya bailed. Other (less important) characters have expired from far less!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>There are going to be some huge convergences of characters that utterly hate each other soon. Can't wait to see that shitstorm!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Wondering if the HS going to meet his maker will be in the final episode... or if he'll make it that far?/</p>

    <p>Actually, the theory that I like the most about Arya goes like this...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">That was not Arya. It was Jaquen.</span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">1. Hair parted in the center</span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">2: Bags full of money being tossed around.</span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">3:"Arya's" confident air when dealing with the captain</span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">4: walking around, confidently, when she knew she was on the run</span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">5: Arya is left handed. "Arya" wasn't </span></p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">6: NO NEEDLE Jaquen is testing the waif. The waif failed. </span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">A man still owes Arya Stark a life. This was not Arya, but Arya will avenge that death.</span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Metrophobic, sans-serif, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">And yes, Sansa would have been writing to LittleFinger to get the army from the Vale to help take back Winterfell and get rid of the Boltons.</span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Absolutely agree that Margery is playing all including the Sparrow and Tommen. The High Garden rose gave it away.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Great to see Bron back and cannot wait how this plays out at Riverrun. And remember, Brienne is on her way to River Run... will she have a reunion with Jamie?</p>

    <p>Sorry I'm late.....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Good solid episode. Extremely predictable that the Hounds wimpy mates would get slaughtered, no idea what he is gonna do now though. I forgot how much I like him as a character.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Some excellent dry wit from Bronn.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I saw the attack on Ayra after reading all the stuff above and surely one of those theories rings true. She's been through too much to be discarded as a character I would have thought. There has to be some twist in there. She could just have "plot armour" though, the Hound looked pretty healthy considering all he's been through.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>None of you homos mentioned the awesome titties on display when Theon ( poor, poor bugger ) and his sister were docked. Had to pause a few of those scenes and even better, the other half didn't mind. Sweet !</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Jons "army" looks piss-poor and ramshackle at the moment. Here's hoping he sorts that.</p>
