We don’t know that the Blackfish actually had two years’ worth of supplies; that could’ve been misinformation. The #2 guy on the battlement might know better, and decide it would be best to obey his lawful lord, Edmure. All the other knights, men-at-arms etc. would know that orders are not to be debated, but to be obeyed. That was usually what the rank and file did back then, or they’d risk mutilation, flogging or execution. > [@Rigamarole](#): > > Comic from Reddit: “[The versatility of the Mountain](http://i.imgur.com/ujb3wWi.jpg)” > > Hopefully his brother opens up a competing law firm: Better Call Sandor.

> [@MaxTheVool](#): > > The point is not “oh, Sansa will come and save us”. It’s “the war is far from over”. The war is far from over, isn’t true. Edmure was on the side of Rob Stark. He knows by now that the Boltons are the wardens of the North, the Freys controlled River Run and only took it with a token force through the Blackfish’s cleverness, and now every soldier the Blackfish could find is in that castle. Obviously the Freys weren’t afraid of any Tully allies breaking the seige. > [@](#): > > Given that he didn’t even bother to ask his highly respected Uncle what had been going on in the years when he was locked in a dungeon, it’s hard to imagine that his decision was based on intelligence at all. > > That said, it’s not so much implausible that a PTSD’d, broken, tortured, messed up guy who was a weakling to begin with would accept Jamie’s demands immediately. It’s implausible that everyone else, with no apparent dissent, would say “ok, if you say so my lord, let’s open the gates”. He knows enough to know that his uncle is going to make the Freys pay for their castle. ---

Huh. I see it on the HBO schedule, it’s set up to record, but it’s not showing on the scheduled recordings menu. ---

Damn I didn’t think the last episode was bad enough to warrant a mid season cancellation. It would be fantastic trolling for HBO to cancel the show before the big ending though. ---

My Comcast cable guide for HBO says it is still on for Sunday 6/19 from 9:00 until 10:02. ---

Also, as a nitpick, but while we’re still bashing last episode, I also didn’t like the exchange between the soldier and jaime: “We have located the Blackfish, ser” “Excellent, have him sent to me” “He died fighting” So the soldier knows the Blackfish is dead, but starts with saying we’ve located him…end sentence. Seems a weird thing to say. Or am I misremembering? ---

Seems a weird thing to say. Or am I misremembering? You’ve got it totally wrong. He said “my lord,” not “ser,” and he said “found,” not located. ---

I was kidding-- I have high hopes for the Battle of the Bastards. Typically, the 9th episode each season has been very good. This one is directed by the same guy who directed the excellent “Hardhome” last season (the eighth episode, where the White Walkers’ army attacks the wildlings), so I think that bodes well. ---

Yep, good and bloody. And this may be the list 9th episode if the rumours about the next 2 seasons being reduced to 7 episodes each are true. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-of-thrones-6-08-no-one-6-12-16-show-discussion/757226.md?page=21)
