    Indeed. Edmure prevented a lot of people dying. It may not have been what we as the audience wanted, because we want to see the Lannisters get their comeuppance, but Edmure had bad options and worse options. I don't blame him for taking the route that resulted in his further survival, and the survival of the Riverrun

    That's the thing though — he wasn't. Not after his full psycho sadist self was revealed. After that, he wasn't that interesting at all.

    Rickon is younger than he looks, I think. I know they aged up the younger characters, but I think he's still supposed to be about ten or so. Plus he's spent the last years with in hiding, so we don't know how much he might have been taught or trained about anything.

    I know. I was agreeing. Just going on a little about it.

    This all leads me to believe that somehow Cersei's trial will be avoided. Either Qyburn has solid dirt on the High Sparrow, or she will endeavor to escape, or they will do something with the wild fire. If that's the case, then if they're not planning on destroying King's Landing with it, they are at least planning a

    Perhaps but it doesn't mean they'd go. If Edmure is the rightful Lord, then he'd have control of the Tully army. Since he just surrendered Riverrun I doubt he'd send the army to Winterfell. He probably doesn't know about that deal anyway. We didn't hear Jaime tell him and there's no reason really to think Jaime would.

    I'm pretty sure Brienne was off by the time Sansa wrote that letter. She apparently wrote one to send with Brienne — how else would Brienne have it to hand to the Blackfish? — but the one that we saw pieces of was different, I think. I also still think the most likely candidate for that letter was Baelish.

    They're sentient machines. No people. Even the bugs are cars — VW Bugs (ba dum ching).

    The first movie was total style over substance and I loved it. Totally want to see this.

    Mary is supposed to be a nice, relatively boring person. I think there's not supposed to be a whole lot of chemistry, either.

    Heathen! There are no plot holes. Only holes to be filled in later.

    Obviously you'd need to take them twice, at least. Individually, perhaps.

    I hope so. It occurred to me too that there's no need for her to send a raven to her uncle, since she sent Brienne to Riverrun. I'd love it if that was to the Reeds. I think it's still likely that she's written to Baelish, though. She looked upset, which could be simply about doing it being Jon's back, or could be

    I'm not saying she wasn't stupid, because she was. But I think she saw herself as sort of insulted from that — like, "I'm as good as they are because they trained me." She was overconfident. Or, it could just be me using my logic to sort out the show. ;)

    You're right, and I think it just underscores how inexperienced Arya is. It's one thing to be trained, it's another thing to really live that training and put it into action. She doesn't grasp it fully yet. but I still don't think she'll die.

    Me neither. I was trying to think off someone besides Littlefinger or her uncle Blackfish she might write to, but came up blank. Even if she wrote to Robin, he'd just give the letter to Baelish.

    I think it's just efficiency. Those deaths were not done to exact any kind of revenge on the victim, or to make them suffer. Those deaths were conducted so that they would be over quickly, with no time for the victim to react or defend themselves. It was also public and more visible than poison, so any opposition

    That would actually be fun.

    Arya's bright, but inexperienced (as I've said about Sansa and the political games) and overconfident after her time in the House of Black and White. She definitely should have been more careful, but when everything seems okay, we all drop our guard.

    I had a feeling that was the situation, and I appreciate that you speak up to point the problems out. I'm sorry people aren't smart enough to listen to you.
