In reply to that comment, I'm proud to say that I also am in Maryland.

I was a little surprised to see them double-down on Jamie's renewed devotion to Cersei. He really went all in with that speech to Edmure.

I still fist pumped when Arya said she was a Stark and she was heading back home.

a Catelyn that has rotted for several months, if not a year now?

Hee, "yoyo knickers".

So Tommen just unconfirmed CleganeBowl and killed all the Hype

He must be the Appalachian Mountain

He's like every A&R man I ever met.

I do think that Arya will have a very sad/bittersweet ending to her story.

here are lots of arguments for it definitely not being "magical" in the sense of the other magic we've seen. For example, it's not innate like warging and they're not casting spells— it's just a set of skills that technically anyone can learn. They're not shapeshifting,

Or to trip down some stairs and die like a chump.

It's one of the reasons I can't take dramatic development in comic books seriously.

Whether or not we find out what those are depends on how important Georgie Martin thinks it is that we know them, I guess.

Loras will be the Faith's champion. Even though he is broken he was supposed to be a great fighter

Everything on the waif

With Brienne showing up at the Frey/Blackfish/Lannister siege, that dude last week who bragged about being the one who cut Cait's throat is absolutely a dead man.

no way she doesn't kill that bit of slime

To be fair, the Hound had been dealing with a pretty nasty stab wound before his matchup with Brienne.

I'm curious about how they'll judge whether the Waif or Jaqen has actually died. We might see someone with their face die, but what does that prove?

Would Bran's paralysis allow him to have an heir?
