I didn't mean she'd have a hand in offing Bran. I meant exactly what I said - she'd be dumb and Baelish would find out (either she'd tell him directly or he'd swipe the message or eavesdrop while she tells Brienne or something), and *Baelish* would act.

I'm not sure which part is bothering you (if one specific part or the whole description), so I'll just add that that's what I remember of it, though it's been several years since I watched it. In retrospect, it's probably akin to House, just autism replacing assholery.

I'm going to spend the rest of the season trying to imagine increasingly preposterous (yet delightful!) ways for Baelish to die.

Eh, it's the men that go to war and therefore die all the time. The women left behind are the ones who remarry and carry on the line.

I don't know if the writers are trying to show how "clever" he is by writing everybody else as exceedingly dumb/gullible/unwilling to punch him in the mouth/gank him in a crypt for some reason, but it's not working. It's just increasingly unbelievable that he's still around.

No.

Yes, the ability for one very large fleet of very large ships to totally sneak up on another fleet of ships without any kind of alarm being raised is just… my suspension of disbelief can handle dragons and Faceless Men, but super stealthy warships had me rolling my eyes. By the time Yara got on deck (seconds after…

The two hanging from the ship were the two killed on deck by Euron - the whip girl was hung from her own whip and the other girl was impaled (also with her own weapon, I think).

You know, I wonder what Sansa will do when that raven arrives. Given with Jon going south, she's in charge of the North, but Bran would technically be the rightful heir.

Jon should've just taken him out. I mean, they were already in the crypt, surely there's a back corner he could've hidden the body.

Think the library in Dr Strange. Most of the books were for students. The restricted (chained) books were for the Ancient One.

Jon didn't hold anyone responsible, he just refused to punish two kids who had nothing to do with their fathers' crimes.

I've gotten the impression that winter happens whenever and lasts however long, and Wights are always around, north of the Wall. It's only when they have a King with a lot of White Walkers that the Long Night approaches, and with it, true Winter (which is what the Stark family motto is referring to, not just the…

I imagine she wouldn't have stopped if she didn't have some kind of plan. She could have circled back around and waited until dark if she just wanted to slit a bunch of throats.

Except in Arya's case, the Freys in that room were actively involved in the murder of her family and their men. They were in on the plot and in the room when it happened, even if not all of their hands were directly on the knives.

She'll be the Eowyn of this story and take down Wun Wun the Wight.
