There’s one brief part of the scene last week (two weeks ago?) when Arya is stalking Littlefinger where she observes him talking to a blond servant girl. It seems like she’s been spying for him (Varys had his little birds, so did Cersei, so did he). They wouldn’t put that in for no reason, so Arya & Sansa’s weird…

Being a stupid leader is Jon Snow’s thing.

Tormund is almost certainly alive because D&D would milk the hell out of his death.

BRAN: Dames, who needs ‘em? But you and me, pal, we get each other. Just two bros, hangin’ out, shootin’ the shit, doin’ man stuff. Like, um... um... scratchin’ our balls and... sports? And? ...er... my omniscience power is leaving me hanging here...

Eat it, Littlefinger!

This season has been dominated by stupid narrative cheats.

I cannot star this enough.

Well, she didn’t want to kill Lady Crane, which is what got her on the path back to Westeros/betraying the assassins that trained her. Plus, the Faceless Men made a point of saying they don’t decide who lives and who dies, right? Only when the faceless god demands a name or whatever. Which, I know is cutting it both…

I think they’ve given us enough clues that Arya is playing a game here. Whether Sansa is in on the con or just a very accommodating dupe remains to be seen. Bran, like all oracles, is being professionally mysterious. The dagger passing from hand to hand seems the most important communication in all this.

Some Days Are For Dying

Fuck you AV Club. The new site sucks and (more importantly) the new comments section is fucking deplorable. One of the biggest draws to this site is the thoughtful and hilarious discussion in each post and you officially shot that all to shit with this new ‘upgrade’.

DC and Warner Bros. are doing a fantastic job providing an example of how to royally screw up a cinematic universe.
