    Unless the betrayal of Ned is exactly the information Bran shares to bring Arya and Sansa back together. I think the whole point of this sub-arc is to show exactly how out of his element he is when dealing with something’s truly magical. All his scheming is for naught. I mean, if the team up of Three-Eyed Raven,

    Yasss! This.

    I don’t get that at all from the director’s comments. He said he wanted to give the *impression* that either could die. He didn’t say it was foreshadowing or anything. He also said something violent was coming involving both of them, still doesn’t directly imply one kills the other. I read it as they settle and kill

    Oh snap...didn’t notice the ravens! But yes, I’ve been figuring Bran will intervene and bring Arya and Sansa back on the same page.

    All of this. Exactly my thoughts as well.

    That fits with my theory that Westeros ends up as a republic with a representative council of seven instead of a kingdom. Gendry would end up legitimized and representing the Stormlands. They’re going to “break the wheel”.

    I believe these are sublight/real-space speeds, not FTL, i.e. the speeds they’d be doing in combat.

    “Some purists even pitched a fit about Asty, he’s name being an easter egg that pointed to Abrams’ love of the Beastie Boys, taken as evidence JJ didn’t take the lore seriously enough.”

    Stuck here waiting for the iOS port. Catch you guys next year...

    Poe is Han and Finn is the audience avatar.

    Blockades don’t stop ravens.

    It sounds like the most likely scenario is that Cersei has all of the gold in hand, gives it to the Iron Bank. The Iron Bank is ultimately responsible for the transport from this point, but will probably settle for keeping it in the Kings Landing vaults due to the impending blockade.

    It’s really not that confusing, it just means they cut out the uneventful harvesting and travel.

    Or the Iron Bank sends the Gold Company to retrieve it?

    Except they specifically stated they had enough transports. I’m sure they were lying though, you must have a much better sense of their disposition I’m sure.

    I think vs the fleet, all the ships were the enemy so they required less control. This battle was close quarters with armies mixed, required precision that could only be trusted to a rider.

    Definitely not unbroken. The wagons destroyed most likely held all of the forcibly harvested food from the Reach.

    Yeah, it went right through it! Wow...big miss in the age of screen-cap gifs...

    8. Not poisoned. They’ve made a point in the show so far of showing that poison must be applied relatively close in time to its use. I also find it highly unlikely that poison would be particularly effective on something that produces caustic substance capable of spontaneously combusting.

    A simple aside to Sansa of “...and look after Ghost for me” is all I really needed!
