Arya has to kill herself to become no one? 

Interesting theory

Theon drinks ale to turn into a man again...lol...Pretty bad...that's why I drink beer as well

Asha is really miscast in the show

Was hoping Sansa would grant Jon the name Stark at some point ... in order to get a larger army

Good point in Sansa, who is not a Boulton herself! Ha

Good ep again, felt like another scene setter before a presumably big final 3 episodes.

Agree with BLS, 30 mins of the Hound looking thoughtful and cutting wood was a bit much, good to have him back though.

The Arya thing was a bit weird, last week it ended with her getting needle (am I right in thinking needle is Valyrian steel?) back and being on high alert. Then she seems without a care in the world this week and promptly get stabbed.

Curious to see what's going on with Marjery, obviously a plan at work but if she wants her grandmother out of the city it sounds like it'll be messy.

Looking forward to this Riverun seige. Come out of nowhere a bit but promises to be good. I've got a feeling it might be the end for Jaime.

I think Jamie will turn on the Frey's and butcher them.

There's a scene in the preview where he's leading his army out of the camp that's filled with dead bodies.

Just for reference to those that never read the books.

The Riverlands plot thread; is one of the show's plots that hasn't caught up with the books yet. Jamie as referenced many times before never went to Dorne in books, he ended up here with Ilyn Payne (who they've retconned from the show) instead of Bron.

Not going to say exactly what the outcome is, but it won't be the exact same thing that happens in the books.

This is exactly how arya dies in the books.

Also, iiyn Payne was great. Think they wrote him out because wilko Johnson thought he was going to die irl then unfortunately didn't die. Great face, crap music.

30 minutes chopping wood? Those were the best scenes! Ian McShane was, well, shining and the dialogue was actually meaningful. Only too bad they killed him off, though I guess death is a fleeting concept in this show.

George needs to release the book. The hopeful still think he'll announce it the day after this season's finale airs, but it's like waiting for Chinese Democracy now....

johnny btw isn't joking. I'm surprised no one has commented on it.

Wilko supposedly got terminal cancer and refused to get therapy. They wrote him out off the show out of respect (they probably would have made him a pedophile otherwise instead of Meryn Trant tbh). Anyway, he eventually decided he might as get the treatment or something after all and he survived.
