But given the "story" he tells here… his "not liking the taste" (current time) of wine could be directly linked to the experience he describes.

she doesn't have to know he has him… just that he's alive and hiding. Also, I guess there's an outside shot that Sansa and the Umbers are working together. It's not the most fool proof theory, granted. But how did Sansa know that Roose was dead and that Ramsay murdered him?

I think Sansa wrote the letter after her initial conversation with Jon it was clear how she felt and that she was determined.. "if we don't take back the north we'll never be safe… If you won't help me I'll do it myself".. then.. the pink letter goading and threatening him… She may have written it while she was there…

The only "fake letter writer" I could see in the show would be Smalljon… assuming the Umbers are setting up Ramsay… this could be their way of ensuring the stark family makes a go at the creep… Give him the stark boy and notify Jon Snow immediately… then "Red Wedding 2" style, they turn on Ramsay when it counts.

There is a pretty strong theory (IMO) about what the Sparrow told him. But no… we do not know for sure.

I was thinking about it and unfortunately I suspect she will have to platy a long game here as Littlefinger has a much bigger army and it's not a Northern Army… and It's not Stark loyal.. and though young Robyn may be smitten with Sansa… he is Baelish' puppet. So… I don't think she'll be in a position to repay him…

they will be back… I am surprised it has taken this long… everything else is progressing rapidly

that's my understanding as well… Though when I think about it… "Ok, she's cured… no idea how but I'm sure she's cured" or "Well My Lord, it seems to have simply stopped now"… seem maddeningly vague resolutions to such a health hazard. But until right now I accepted it… so I will continue. Cheers.

Elder Brother will be the catalyst for the Hound coming back and being part of the reborn (faith wise if not literally)… and Brienne is in the Riverlands in the season preview so I suspect that is where we will be re-introduced… I have to believe we will see the Brothers again but not in this arc… I do also think that…

Pretyy sure the Tyrell alliance was about the thrones debt to the Iron Bank as opposed to lack of Lannister soldiers.

I thought the alignment was more about money (debt really) than actual forces. Also, Roose Bolton made a point of saying the Lannister army was rested and ready, unlike Stannis' bunch.

I'm prtetty sure they made the point of saying the Tyrell's command the second largest army in Westeros… I assume that's because the Vale has the largest

what about the Vale? the Crown? and the Lannister army?

maybe there's more to life than just the shade of people's skin… She is a character on a tv show… as are the Dothraki…. She was threatened with very bad things by mean and intimidating people and she said you guys are chumps with small ambitions… and she burned them… and good for her

Assuming that Cersie is lying about the Shame walk to goad the Tyrell's into a fight… has she overplayed her hand by allowing the second largest army in Westeros to ride into Kings Landing. I have to believe that the Queen of Thorns has something up her sleeve… right?

Well, they said it was solid steel… but a good Dothraki Hut Saleman is hard to find nowadays… What with the commercialization of the industry and all…

In a meta way you are basically the other six kingdoms here… Balon bent the knee but remained in open rebelllion. Sure it was a sea born rebellion and stood no chance of conquering lands for a sustained time… but they are out there… and they are persistant… and so you gotta keep an eye on them. Even if you don't know…

My guess is that will be Meera's job after Bran finds out… Also, I suspect littlefinger knows and Benjin is still out there…. but I can't see it being him.

In the show they stated that it can only be stopped in children? or is that just in the books. I thought it had only been stopped in Shireen (a child)… but I don't remember it being said as such. Also, I'm not aware of any other children who have been cured.

But seven years is attractive and the thing the masters must give is immediate. Right now… you will stop funding the Harpies. Which is REALLY all Tyrion wants out of the negotiation. Also, this allows Meereen to serveas an example of how the rich can continue to be rich with out the need for slaves. Point being his…
