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.
Love it!
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.
He knows enough to know that his uncle is going to make the Freys pay for their castle.
Is GoT not on tomorrow?
It’s on, why do you ask?
Mrs. L.A. said it isn’t. I haven’t checked, and she’s watching a movie.
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.
If they they didn’t skip Memorial Day weekend they sure as hell aren’t going to skip Summer Solstice weekend.

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?
You’ve got it totally wrong. He said “my lord,” not “ser,” and he said “found,” not located.
Ok sounds like I remembered it pretty well. Just another set up line, like “And now a girl is finally no one”

Thank god tonight we’ll have a new episode to complain about.
Or, ideally, a new episode NOT to complain about. It’s not like we’re all hatewatching GoT and then gleefully heading to the SDMB to see who can outdo each other in nitpickery…
Speak for yourself, dammit!
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.
