You realise other giants have been seen in the show to date? Ones that died north of the wall?

Summer signing up for the posthumous Medal of Honor in Bran's narrow escape?

It was mentioned in that scene that the girl was new. Arya probably stole a few faces from the face bank before legging it.

Let's just hope that, like Wun Wun, those giants also enjoyed the services of Carrot Top as their martial arts instructor.

I doubt she would've given that numb nuts so much as a slightly less sadistic torturer.

Hehe. I did that the other night. Was holding back an absolute thunderhead when a slight buzz broke free. She glared down at me and snapped, "We're there already, are we?"

You're also overlooking how despised the Lannisters are in the North. They fucked the Starks - beloved lords of the North for centuries - dishonorably at the Twins, and then they saddled the North with the despised stewardship of the Boltons. That a Southern alliance (Lannister and Arryn/Baelish), without so much as a…

A promise from Cersei Lannister should be awarded all the credence of one from Donald Trump. Not only is she completely untrustworthy, she's a political half wit.

"he would also become the Warden of the North, because Cercei would be glad to give it to him in exchange for his assistance, Unfortunately, that would also mean that Sansa and Jon have to die,"

The Lannisters have never invaded the North. To do so in winter, and with the Vale, the Tyrells and the Martells in rebellion in the South would be outrageous folly (not to mention Dany's invasion). The Lannisters are a paper tiger now whom nobody need fear.

It's not love, it's lust, because a) she's hot and dam near unattainable, and b) to take revenge on Cat and Ned for shunning him in the Day. Also marriage to Sansa could make him Lord of the North, which gets him another step nearer the Iron Throne. Baelish has love for nobody but himself.

Dany herself is the product of incest, had a total whackjob for an old man and seems occasionally inclined towards glazed-eyed extremism…

Try Kingdom.

I preferred the Clegane sequence.

I think we've seen and heard the last of the boys: they all enjoyed some fireside craic then went their own ways. They were a tool for Arya to realize that her list is finite for a reason. There's no need to kill all of "the enemy" because most people involved are just involved, not evil. One day she'll be able to…

Peace, friend. Sorry if my last post sounded snide. Was not my intention. In the world within which our wonderful story takes place, it's fully acceptable that Dragonstone is effectively indestructible.

For me "magic" is the least enjoyable aspect of GOT and ASOIAF (and fantasy in general tbh) so yea, I can tend towards applying more Newton to these matters than I really should.

The Tyrells were allies of Tomen, through dynastic marriage, not the sidelined Cersei, (who nonetheless made active enemies of them by trying to have Margery and Loras murdered by Faith Militant). The repercussions were Olenya (who now rules House Tyrell in name and not just deed) allying with Dorne and Dany against…

How's that?

Get what? That you're a pontificating loner? Had that already, but thanks just the same.
