A Girl Begins to Redeem Herself

Actually, I didn't love the episode.

A lot of it was extremely predictable, and the 'telegraphing' for future plot arcs is beyond ridiculous.

However...
It was a bit of redemption for Arya - and some proof that she has, in fact, mastered the art of taking people's faces at whim, and CARVING PEOPLE UP WELL ENOUGH TO BAKE THEM INTO PASTRY.

...I take what I can get.

So true =( ...sorry if I misinterpreted you.

I did say I wouldn't put suicide past Tommen in my predictions in 'Layin' Odds' - but I will be the first to admit I thought his death would be religious-based, not... 'I lost the love of my life and my mentor'-based.
Dat was harsh.

Also, I actually am sad that Margaery died.. Seven forgive me, but I would have been more content seeing Sansa die. I liked Margaery. -sighs-

I will check out your update!

No worries.

Fair enough. I guess I wasn't thinking about that though I did expect Tommen dead.

Me too. Though I would have preferred if both Sansa and Margaery had stayed alive anyway.

I've been wondering that ever since 'they' poached my heartwarming Stark cloak scene from Allegiance and gave it to Jon.

Jon is a severely overrated character. And if you've been checking past topics on the board, oh, I have made my feelings pretty clear about him.
I much prefer him in the novels. The show with its pandering, and the ridiculous fangirls, has pretty much ruined him as a character for me.

And I have so much love for Lil Mormont - but then she jumped on the Jon bandwagon so hard that I literally said 'ugh', out loud, even though no one could hear me.



Yup. But notice how the Northern lords rushed to claim that Jon avenged the Red Wedding? Like... um... seriously? He's never even been south of fucking Winterfell.

On a high note - Sansa did NOT look pleased at Jon being declared King in the North. Nor should she.



This will likely happen, because Pandering to the Heterosexual Audience.
However - if it does happen, it's not going to be some 'happily ever after'. At least - not in the books. Who the hell knows what the show will do, it's on crack sometimes...

Though, one thing that is interesting that may or may not have any meaning in the end game (but would actually support Dany Marrying our No One), is again, at the start of this season, it was emphasized she will bear no children.
It is widely speculated that MMD's 'curse' would break after prophecy was fulfilled. But you know - maybe it won't. Wouldn't be the first time we thought there was more depth to something that didn't actually have any. Maybe death paid for life, she is barren, and that is just how it remains. And if that is the case, well, marrying for heirs becomes irrelevant.



Damn right.


You caught that! Very observant - I really like you



This could still happen. I think though, that she just had to deal with her main target first - but this is actually a pet theory of mine as well, because it would be such a twisted way to fulfill the valonqar prophecy.

I am wondering if a certain Red Woman is going south (and east, most definitely east) to find the Real Prince That Was Promised.

My OTP for Jon is actually (book canon) Melisandre (and it keeps him away from Dany and being creepy with Sansa...) so this whole burning Shireen and sending your shadowbinder away because Davos has a stick up his ass killed me, but I definitely have an urge to see if there is a group of Dany/Melisandre shippers, and if they are now rejoicing the possibility of their time in the sun as well.
