She's in charge. Littlefinger went down on her watch. Great leadership starts with surrounding yourself with the right people. Yet, she gets BLAME for offing maybe the smartest schemer in the game? Those are the LULZ, bud.

A+

This post is a working fail on so many levels and across multiple Boneyard sub forums its like 3d Chess.

Good one Deep.
 
Read something interesting regarding the ice dragon. The show seemed to spend a lot of time focusing on the ballista that Qyburn created and then it had minimal impact in the Treasure Train battle. I'm thinking that such a weapon, with a projectile made of dragonglass, might be an effective way of dealing with the undead dragon.

did you wonder if Qyburn was scheming something when he picked up the severed zombie arm?
 
After second watch last night Im more in love with my prediction that @ Scoffed at.

Arya is going to kill the mountain. No Clegane bowl.

Allow me to make my case.

The Mountain is on Arya's list. The hound is fully aware of Arya's "list" from all the traveling they did together when she was his "prisoner". In that process the Hound obviously grew a fondness for Arya.

The show went out of the way to highlight the Hounds fondness for Arya in the last episode when the Hound meets with Brienne on the way to the Dragon pit. When Brienne says that "people need to be protected from Arya" (not exact quote, too lazy to scrub the episode but that was the gist) as opposed to Brienne protecting Arya, the hound got a big smile on his face. In the following scene we see the Hound walk up to the Mountain and say " you know whos coming for you" .

I think the Hound does not want to interfere with Arya getting the satisfaction of completing her "list".

The interesting thing here is will Arya kill the hound too? The Hound was on Aryas list. Is he still? I think it is kind of ambiguous. She crossed him off when she thought she left him for dead. I dont actually think he would even care if Arya killed him.

She said that the only people who need protection are those who get in Arya's way. He said "won't be me" as in he won't be one to get in her way.

The Mountain knows essentially nothing of Arya and after years and years of everyone believing she is dead, would never make that connection and think in his zombie brain "oh, right, he doesn't mean himself, the guy whose face I plunged in to burning coals; he means a girl I've never met who has been dead for years".

I think the Hound does not want to interfere with Arya getting the satisfaction of completing her "list".

Agreed

Who knows, but I agree here

Not sure if he was scheming something as much as comparing it to his own handiwork. I don't believe they've ever clued us in to how Qyburn brought the Mountain back from the dead.

Who knows, but the Mountain's eyes are looking a wee bit worse for wear.

Dollars to donuts says no. I'm just not feeling that here. Not with the current guys running this show. but that's jmo,

So we have a few redemption stories going on

Jorah
Theon (ugh)
Hound
Jaime, in a sense

Feel free to name others I'm missing.

Who do you think completes the journey? Although I'm starting to think that most of these non-evil characters will make it, based on how the writing and vibe of the show has gone

She really has to kill two people. One person in order to harvest their face and then the person she'll kill while wearing that face. Unless she pulls on good old Walder Frey once again.

If anyone deserved to die in the entire GoT pantheon, it was Lyanna Stark.

Doesn't have to use a face tho. Didn't with Meryn Trant iirc.

billythekid said:
True, but she hadn't yet become a Faceless Man when she killed Trant. Besides, the scene with the Freys was so cool. Why have her become a Faceless Man if she was only going to use it once?

Point.

Betting Jaime and Hound don't. Zero clue about the other two.

That said, I agree with the last point as I alluded to above.
 
Watched and have been thinking about the lake battle. It either lends some real credence to the Bran=NK theory (or is at least connected with NK in ways he is currently unaware that inadvertently benefit NK), or is just awful lazy writing

There are several aspects of the fight that suggest it was pre-meditated.

First, I have a feeling that that small party that the Expendables came upon were bait. There was one... something... and this is kinda tangential but more bad writing: the wights died when their master white walker died, except that one, who surely doesn't have the appearance of the white walkers we have come to know. Anyway was it planted there as a signal to the rest of the army?

When they were running, they hit the ice and immediately we see it was only partially frozen... as if it were recently un-frozen... which would allow:

The chains that dragged up the dragon appear to be pre-placed, as when they pull it out, the chains have to come up through the re-frozen lake. They were down there before the lake re-froze.

NK and his bros show up the next morning, which I mean I guess could make sense if they want to just chill and watch Jon and Co. slowly get overrun, but there's no real need for him to be there, unless...

They knew the dragons were coming, given they showed up not with their typical unique weapons, but new, yet-to-be-revealed spears. Three of them. When Dany shows up and burns paths through his army seemingly out of nowhere, there is no shot of any surprise from NK. If NK is linked to Bran and can see what Bran sees, could he have become aware of the raven to Danny thing?

Side note, if NK stuck around to raise Viscerion, why didn't he stick around to raise Jon, whom he just watched get tackled into the freezing water...?!?!

It also just struck me; has Bran been the Lord of Light too all along? Whispers and visions led to Arys' madness and burning people, could it have something to do with the visions Mel, Hound, etc. have been seeing that have driven a large portion of the plot?

Gotta apply Occam's Razor here no? Lazy writing...

As your post alludes to, it's all setting up to be a massive Bran orchestration which I think would be terribly disappointing.

I did wonder how they evven got the dragon out. The whites can't swim. Which means it would have to have been some White Walker swimming (assuming they can) down to hook it up. Seems a bit undignified.

Agreed with everything. Hoping I'm wrong
 
I think we all need to take the next year preparing for the reality that more likely than not, Sansa will have a happy ending.
