seen a theory out there that Arya is actually the Waif, and is very much in the Fight Club style

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!
 
There are going to be some huge convergences of characters that utterly hate each other soon. Can't wait to see that shitstorm!
 
Wondering if the HS going to meet his maker will be in the final episode... or if he'll make it that far?/

Some great lines last night, Blackfish vs Jamie was up there.
But loved seeing Bronn back with Jamie..

Actually, the theory that I like the most about Arya goes like this...
 
That was not Arya. It was Jaquen.
1. Hair parted in the center
2: Bags full of money being tossed around.
3:"Arya's" confident air when dealing with the captain
4: walking around, confidently, when she knew she was on the run
5: Arya is left handed. "Arya" wasn't 
6: NO NEEDLE Jaquen is testing the waif. The waif failed. 
 
A man still owes Arya Stark a life. This was not Arya, but Arya will avenge that death.
 
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.
 
Absolutely agree that Margery is playing all including the Sparrow and Tommen. The High Garden rose gave it away.
 
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?

So the next episode ( which I haven't got round to seeing ) has Bronn AND the Hound ?
 
Colour me excited.

taniwharugby

and Al Swearengen...

Sorry I'm late.....
 
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.
 
Some excellent dry wit from Bronn.
 
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.
 
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 !
 
Jons "army" looks piss-poor and ramshackle at the moment. Here's hoping he sorts that.

taniwharugby

did the giant go off to get a few of his mates?

I wasn't sure if he did that or thought "Fuck this, I'm outta here". We'll find out no doubt.
 
Gotta hand it to the producers, the Giant SFX are outstanding.

No Quarter

The giant said "Snow" which I took to mean he is backing Jon Snow all the way. Then buggered off, hopefully to put out a call to arms to his brothers... an army of those fuckers would be awesome to watch.

Yes exactly NQ, Wun Wun definitely said "Snow". After walking off it was then that other tall skinny red-head-bearded wildling then walked up and shock Jon's hand/forearm.
 
By the way, does anyone else get the feeling that the Wildlings are just dressed up highland Scots? The exception to this were the obvious - the Thens who remained north of the wall.
 
As for a Giant army headed by Wun Wun, it seems that he was the only giant who made it south of the wall and most of his fellow giants either fell in the battle against the Night's Watch/Stannis or they retreated further north of the wall. The big fear is that the White Walkers raise the giant dead and have them at their disposal to lead an army of "undead".
 
But it would certainly be cool to see a group of giants on foot and mounted on mammoths leading the charge against the dastardly Bolton's... :good:

In the awesome battle scene a few seasons ago there was very clearly just the two giants, and both of them fell in quite disappointing circumstances I thought. One took a ballista to the chest and the other killed Jon Snows mates but died of his injuries.
 
Definite Scots reference there although most of them are played by Scandinavian actors to confuse matters.

It's not a bad theory but seriously, what kind of muppet can't underarm throw an object a few feet with their wrong hand? I don't think that proves "handedness".
 
I think I'd prefer it if Arya had padding and just faked the blood.
If Jaqen has access to such magic that he can become Arya without her face and change his stature etc then what is even the point of the faces? Dumb.

I'm confused as to the extent of his "magic".....I can buy the face thing but although he's not the Hound or the mountain most blokes are bigger than teenage girls so I'm very skeptical about him being the one with her face on too. 
 
Either way I'm hoping his tiresome characters days are numbered.

No Quarter

Yeah, I thought he was an awesome character to start with, assassinating fluffybunnys at will, but this faceless god stuff has become a bit of a bore.

taniwharugby

yeah they seem all powerful with the ability to change faces with ease...why are they not ruling this world? Surely they could get in on the 'Game' of Thrones action, I mean plenty of dead kings faces they could have!

MN5

Well they're certainly not the first magic bunch, remember that creepy bald warlock dude ? he didn't prove resistant to fire though.....
