Ghost is at Castle Black, right where Jon left him.

I don't think so. Arya's blindness training was a byproduct of her blindness—which was a punishment for something specific that she did.

All of this sort of hinges on what they consider evidence. In our court system, of course hearsay from Lancel about Jamie wouldn't be proof. Without a Maury cameo, there's likely no way for the to "prove" that Tommen isn't Robert's son but it may not matter. I fully expect a sham trial (if we get it) where they will…

This has bugged me all season. They cut away implying that they leave the door open thus implying that they could leave. But the door did look too small and we never see or hear about them in Meereen which seems very odd. I have no idea what happened or what we are supposed to think happened.

I agree with your general sentiments but one thing I would add is that this narrative phenomenon is to be somewhat expected. Early in the show/book/story characters and places are introduced and the world expands as they move away until an inflection point where the presumptive end is in sight and the world contracts,…

Especially the second time we saw it. They burned up a lot of screen time with those two scenes that they could've given back to the North. We got one episode of the the party riding around all over the north for support, yet we got two Tyrion drinking parties and 18 episodes of Arya in one place.

18 episodes it took to get here.

Eh, I don't know. He was being pragmatic. The Blackfish and that Tully force were small potatoes to him. They weren't any sort of imminent threat and he just wanted to end this and go home. If they went around killing everyone that might ever be a threat to them in the future there'd be no one left. Most of these…

Cersei, no. But it might not be so clear to Jamie. He's not going to take up arms against Sansa whom he swore to protect (for what that's worth at this point). He never believed that Tyrion poisoned Joffrey, ergo Sansa probably didn't collude with him so she's not the presumptive murderer in his eyes.

The Tullys? That's not really what happened. It looks like they let them leave Riverrun unarmed and with Edmure maybe (or maybe not) still with Jamie. They were only enemies to the extent that they were occupying the castle of an ally. Jamie just wants them physically gone so he can go home. They weren't a threat…

Not here, but in some other scenes over the last few seasons, we know the Boltons are considered in rebellion and Cersie did explicitly tell Jamie she wanted Roose (by extension Ramsay) dead.

My stray observation: Varys and Daenerys still haven't met.

Ghost.

Putting it in the headline, at least, was inappropriate.

He said that to Arya.

Come on now, we all know what Pod is bringing to the table.

Do they actually say that any other time on the show? I forget. I assumed it was meant to recall the Red Woman who did and, by extension, Thoros.

Sandor refers to them as "from the Brotherhood…they follow the Red God," so yes.

I know we don't like to get too spoilery on the prediction side, but if you're acknowledging "Ian McShane’s highly publicized trip to Westeros" not sure why you'd be surprised that it ended so quickly. Pretty much as soon as we knew who he was playing we also knew he was only cast for one episode. Either we are or are…
