1. It's not like Gendry was involved in any of that, or was even raised by Robert. 2. She and Tyrion and the Greyjoys had a long chat about "sins of the father" and not holding each other accountable for the thigns the past generation did. 3. She took on Tyrion and Varys as most trusted advisers. She took on all of…

I've considered this too, and I would be ok with it if I thought Aiden Gillan had any of the skill David Bradley has and could convincingly portray "Arya" behind LF's face the way Bradley did with Walder Frey. I don't really think Gillan can do that… so i hope they don't try.

In what way is the love life of two or three dead people relevant to Sam? He didn't see anything in the Tower of Joy. Even if the Maester confirmed there was a son, it's unlikely he recorded that Lyanna gave him to Ned and Ned decided to call him Jon.

if he bends the knee, she would be fine with it. Gendry's real enemies are the Lannisters, and so are Dany's.

I agree- it was made to make us think all was lost - but that would have been very disappointing and in my opinion, bad storytelling. what would the point of it all be, if Jon died? I get it, GoT and ASOIAF are designed to "subvert fantasy genre tropes" by killing off traditional fantasy characters, characters like…

I'm really interested in the line between "predictable" and "satisfying" and watching where it's going to be drawn by different reviewers and critics this season and next. Yes, the results of some of these battles and expeditions are going to be "predictable;" Jon was never going to die in the Battle of the Bastards,…

I just wish she could see how obvious LF's plot is. If he was REALLY trying to help Sansa by getting rid of a letter, wouldn't he burn it?? It does Sansa absolutely no good if her super sneaky spy master just hides things that could hurt her, rather than destroying them.

Totally agree. Sometimes, we actually need time between the major battles to process how the characters are thinking and feeling. Was very glad to get that the episode

I KNEW that shot looked familiar! Thank you!

i don't actually think LF tried to have Bran killed though — It was heavily implied it was Joffrey, wasn't it?

Also noticed on rewatch - Varys is missing from the beach when Theon returns. But he wasn't with Tyrion and Dany at the Battle of the Loot…. Wonder where he went….?

Good news! The costumer basically confirmed they are Ikea shag rugs. http://www.esquire.com/ente…

Had a revelation while re-watching tonight: When Bran asks LF "Do you know who's dagger this was" the question is less "Please tell me who owned this dagger when it was used in an attempt on my life" and more "Do you KNOW whose dagger this was" as in "WHOA, Did you know so-and-so owned this and then so=and-so and then…

the arrows were to try and hit Dany. One good shot there, and the war is basically over, dragons be damned.

Hi TLo friend! I totally agree, the maesters' collective arrogance about their abilities and disdain for the past will be a major weakness for Westeros.

she's capable of dispatching actual killers. a fine distinction, but a distinction none the less.

Cat's face is way too decomposed by now.

I figured - on rewatching that episode — that Arya was already disguised as the girl, and was staring at Jamie, wondering if she'd be able to get him, in addition to Walder. I think it's purposely ambiguous, and this is one of the rare times where that is cool and not lazy.

I'll buy that… for now. And can I just say, I think it's very cool you engage with randomass commenters like me who are basically No One around here. It's the second or third time you've answered a question, and I think some of them, I was kind of bratty. Anyway, good on ya.

I don't think he actually "gets it" when it comes to who Bran is and what he can do. I read someone else saying Olenna Tyrell's statemnt last week about a "failure of imagination" will apply to LF as well - He just does not know that there is legit magic in the world now. It's not just schemes and machinations, People…
