Not to mention the rest of the mess - food spilled all around, tables knocked over, and the bodies strewn haphazardly.
Why was Sansa giving Jon shit about Davos? It’s not like their father died supporting his former employer Stanis. Or like Davos mostly actually give pretty good advice when Davos listened to it.
I think the problem was that the Waif made it personal. She could have killed Arya another way (stab in the back, poison, arrow to the heart) that would have been more certain but would be less up close and face to face.
Sam knocks Gilly up in a year or so. The White Walkers are winning the war, all the living are about done, all the heroes dead, but there’s only one White Walker left. Sam decides to lure the last White Walker in with his baby son and kill it with the family sword. As the White Walker approaches the baby, Sam rides in at the last second, but falls off his horse. The sword goes flying and kills the last White Walker on its own. The army of the dead collapses. Sam is declared King, wildling Gilly is Queen.
The End.
Dear Lord, I hope not.
More likely she’s using it to manipulate him. If he’s really hard-up, she has a better chance of pulling him to whatever opinion she decides. He’s just a kid who mistakes lust for love at this point.
Bout the right age, Lady Red is gonna have a bonfire.

Gilly has implied to Sam that she’s already knocked up, but I don’t think Sam has picked up on it.
They would do a far better job than anyone we’ve seen so far.
Also, I think people are overthinking the Brotherhood razing the town. The brotherhood, at least as we saw it a few seasons ago, wouldn’t do it. But it’s possible these people are Brotherhood members who are going a little off the reservation. They saw a group of people, far away from anyone, and took it as an opportunity for some quick money.
If some US soldiers steal some money from an Afghani farmer and murder his family, that doesn’t mean the US government supports that sort of thing, it means that the US govt. employed some shitty people.
Or, even more likely, that wasn’t Arya getting stabbed. Arya is sneaky as hell. Arya doesn’t wander up to a table, loudly announce where she wants to go, throw money around, and demand a cabin upgrade. Arya certainly doesn’t do all that and then go stand on a bridge in the middle of town, paying no attention to her surroundings, especially when she knows there are people trying to kill her. That person didn’t walk like Arya, dress like her, or act like her. Didn’t even have Needle by her side.
There’s a few possibilities about who it could be. But I’d put money on that not being Arya at all.
Except if the stabbing victim was, say, Jaquen, why would he continue with the disguise when she/he emerged from the harbor alone? Wouldn’t the show creators then show us the person as they actually were?
That would be something if Margery was seducing and setting up the high sparrow.
Open up to him about your sex life, tell him how you as well as your body now belongs to the church, that you’ll do whatever’s best for the church, how you need someone to teach you how to please the king, etc.
Then set it up to be caught with him with his pants down by the other sparrows.
I kinda thought all the arrows were a give away.
Does anyone think it’s weird how everyone has started calling the head White Walker, the “Night King”? I heard Benjen mention it but I assumed he learned it from the Three-Eyed Raven. Where did everyone else come up with that name?
The first we hear about the Brotherhood, before we ever meet them is that they’re outlaws and have been terrorizing the countryside. I don’t think of them as a tight organization, but just as a big group of people who have renounced serving any lord.
They’re essentially the Westerosi version of sovereign citizens.
Not if this is a twist to be revealed later, no.
I think that’s not quite correct. They are the remnants of Berric Dondariaon’s task force created by Ned Stark to bring in The Mountain, who was raiding the countryside. During the war of the five kings, they expanded their mandate to include protecting the countryside against the marauding armies that were pillaging all over the place.
At least, that’s my recollection.
So are the assassins just strictly Murder for Hire folk? They seem to have no higher purpose or calling, which is kind of disappointing for a religion that has such supernatural gifts.
It’s weird, when we first meet them, they talk a lot about death as a gift, and how their god chooses death wisely, and balancing deaths, and crap like that. And then it turns out that the “god” “chooses” the “gift” largely on who pays cash money. And somehow it’s presented like we aren’t supposed to be massively let down by this.
Yep, it as basically Custer’s last stand.
It’s possible the price was non-monetary and has some spiritual or higher meaning to the Faceless Men.
