It seems to me the Direwolf sighting was an indication she was still heading to King's Landing.

In the scene with Sansa and Bran, what was he talking about toward the end? Was he referring to her brief marriage to the bastard Bolton, or was he seeing the future?

Noonan

I don't recall the conversation in full. What was the context? I remember Tyrion talking to Jon about their marriage.

Bran may be the person who tells Jon Snow about his birth.

Noonan

May? He's the only one alive who knows about it, right?

DthRdrX

AFAIK the only one we have seen that may have that information, or at least understood what he witnessed. I never put anything past LittleFinger or Varys though.

lwhy?

Howland Reed (Jojen and Meera's father) was there, but we've never seen him besides in a flashback. He doesn't appear in the present timeline in the book either, but he's talked about.

funkyryno

OK. I watched the clip above and it answered my question. Bran must've been talking about her wedding night, which obviously freaked Sansa out.

Even if Jon were to believe him, I can't see everybody just accepting it as truth. As for others who know, can't see it being accepted on their word either.
If it is revealed to others on the show it would require some kind of confirmation that can't be denied.
Probably something to do with the dragons. They may let him pet them or ride them. Maybe a dragon will try to fry him and he comes out of the flames unburned.

I don't think the servant girl is Arya.

Yet.

Wow, yeah that depiction really changes what Casterly Rock means. I was very unimpressed when we got to see it this ep.

I'm finding the increased pace a bit hard to reconcile myself. I get that more time passes between episodes, but I'm just so used to the snails pace the show has had in the first 3 to 4 seasons, that now it feels a lot like stuff is just happening. I wonder how different the pace would feel if these last two seasons had full HBO season orders.

Nobody seems to care that Arya must have murdered a young girl and taken her place to kill Walder Frey, and she would have to do the same to become the servant girl.

DthRdrX

I figured it would have something to do with the dragons.

I hope the servant girl isn't Arya. In fact, I hope D&D haven't decided to have her use her powers to fulfill her revenge quest. That would just be too easy (the Frey massacre was already over-the-top) and, frankly, kind of lazy and predictable. If Arya can become anyone at any time, it should be a piece of cake to knock off the Mad Queen.

Speaking of which, Cersei not only is using her power over Jaime to get him to do her bidding, she's so power-drunk that she's openly flaunting their relationship.

Euron's characterization bothers me. He just seems too "modern" compared to the other characters (even Bron). Ramsey was a socio-psychopath, but his speech patterns and mannerisms fit into the context of the story. Euron seems like you could just drop him into Gotham without changing a thing.

Jon Snow needs some lifts in his boots. Poor Kit is just tiny compared to almost everyone except for Emilia. Kit looks better when he's got those fur robes draped around him.

Sansa is really coming into her own as a character after seasons of being tossed around as the maiden in distress. Hope Brienne gets to play a bigger role.

Cusm

I don't like that Cersi, who has been shown not to be annoy so great strategist, all of sudden can outwit Tyrion at every turn. I agree there is something about what the Queen of Thorns said about the gold.


Fucking news talking about the HBO hack showed a pretty major spoiler for an upcoming episode.

Defiant1

Arya is shown in the preview for next week's episode at Winterfell, so she couldn't have been Cersei's servant, magic carpets of Westeros or not.

OldBoy

why was Bran so emotionless when he saw Sansa? does that whole Three-eyed raven thing make him non-human?

Decker

That's my take. It's turned him Vulcan.

fumanstan

That's why I called him a twat I don't see why he had to be emotionless though, he seemed fine talking to Meera and company before. I chuckled at him saying repeatedly that he's the Three Eyed Raven and Sansa just saying "I don't know what that is."

mewmartigan

Yeah, I think most of this strategizing is coming from Jamie, not Cersei.

With respect to the Queen of Thorns and the gold, I think the comment about his dad was just to remind us that Highgarden had a bunch of gold so when Cersei is able to pay back the Lannister debt to the Iron Bank, we know where she got the money.

Giantrobo

Correct. Jamie explained to Olenna Tyrell that what he did in this ep in terms of war strategy, was what Rob Stark did to him when he was captured by Rob a few seasons back.

JackoOnHisBacko

I also didn't think there was any other meaning to the gold comment. If anything, it was her showing a bit of respect for Tywin's approach to honestly borrow the money from her family, without just going and taking it all, which they could have done, and which it looks like Cersei is doing to pay off her debts to the banks of Braavos.

Dr. DVD

I'm also disappointed as to how they depict Dragonstone. A lot of the castles on this show are giving off the "it's only a model" vibe from Holy Grail.
Dragonstone from the books looks and feels bad ass .

Spoilerized for size.
