So Cersi's last living child has the largest red target in Westeros taped to his royal back.... will she do us all a favor and off herself once His Royal Highness gets clipped?? (<---- pure speculation)

She'll go completely insane and try to take Kings Landing with her when she offs herself..that's my prognostication

I didn't get any vibes that the Banner boys noticed the Hound at all. Their attention seem fixated on the head hippy the whole time.

Really? I thought they made it pretty obvious.

At one point the camera showed the crowd, then focused on the Hound, then focused on the one who was doing all the talking. It looked like they sort of met eyes, then the BWB rode off.

I should go back and rewatch... since the dialog of that scene was strictly between Head Hippie and the brothers, I might have missed subtle glances they were giving the hound.

I suppose we should assume the Brotherhood only has one hideout.... if that holds true, then we can reasonably surmise the three horsemen from this episode were present when the Brotherhood initiated a Trial by Combat with Hound back in season-whatever. This would afford them the ability to easily notice The Chicken Command, even in a large crowd...

So if Tommon dies who inherits the Iron Throne???

In the book I would say Edric Storm, Robert's highborn bastard. In the show I would have no idea. I don't think it would matter anyway because the episode after Tommen dies Dany lands in Westeros riding Drogon.

Do the White Walkers only pose a threat to Westeros? I read somewhere that if they take over Westeros/"win" the battle there, they could freeze the oceans and cross over to other continents/islands. Did someone just make that up or is it ever referenced in the books that they can do that?

I'm sorry if someone else has already posted this:

On the far eastern side of Essos, there's a line of fortresses that remarkably resemble the Night's Watch. They were established to guard against an ancient enemy, just like the NW. This ancient enemy appeared coincidentally around the same time as the Long Night in Westeros. Many believe the North of Westeros is connected to the East of Essos. Therefore, the WW would be able to attack Essos.

I hope that came out correctly.

based on the show's patterns - is it safe to assume Stannis is still around since we did not see his explicit gory death on camera?

no way. He's definitely dead. Brienne made that pretty clear when she confronted Davos and Melisandre back at Castle Black.

Even someone as honor bound as Tarth is capable of lying if it serves a greater purpose. I believe she has lied a few time on the show so far

Thinking out loud here but is it possible with Tommen all religious now, maybe he becomes the champion for the faith in cercei's trial by combat? Would be another reason for Jamie to kill her

For what reason would Brienne spare Stannis and then not tell (as well as threaten) Davos/Melisandre?

These off-screen deaths are so ****ing lame.

I was not a fan of that episode compared to the rest of season 6. Lazy writing and plotlines that seem to be completely pointless.

Decent episode. Was disappointed they avoided a potentially epic fight scene.

Also would have appreciated a, "What do we say to death?" out of Arya.

Next week looks amazing.

Notes on the final scene

1) I enjoyed how Arya cut off lights and used her training while blind to get the advantage. It was hard for me to imagine Arya coming out of this on top, knowing her wounded self stood no chance, but it was clever to show her victorious in a way that truly makes us feel that she has grown and evolved as a badass, by killing someone in the dark because she simply knows how to fight someone without seeing them. I personally liked how they ended this episode.

2) Looking back at her final scene, i noticed that her hair is probably as long as I can remember. I think she could pull off the badass character much better with longer hair than the boy cut, so I'm hoping she keeps her hair moderately long.

Definitely a set-up episode. Loved the look of concern on Cercei's face. Ayra is now set to return to the main stage.

Other than that, kind of a yawner.

Really? I thought it was great.

The Hound and the Brotherhood have terrific interactions. It was good to see the Brotherhood is still the good guys.

Dany is back. Mereen needed that.

RIP Blackfish.

The Mountain......

Arya is getting back to Westeros where she belongs.

Oh and.... next episode......

Yeah - they need to leave the off screen death stuff to cable tv. Would have rather seen The Blackfish go down swinging than the jabbering b/t Arya and the actress during the milk of poppy scene. Even the Bronn/Podrick scene and the Tyrion/Greyworm joke scene felt unnecessary...unless they are setting up future plotlines? Very little screen time is wasted in GoT - but these seemed expendable.

Solid episode but ranks near the bottom for me this season - which has been, arguably, the best.

Thankfully, looks like we've got a bonafide bastard barn-burner next week!
