Game of Thrones 6/12 Spoilers

I would like Jamie to die. He is so wrapped up in Cersei that he will never have anything with Brienne. Ugh! I want those two to be together, and if that cant happen, then Jamie should die.

I love that Arya is herself again. I don't know how she could run like that after being stabbed so badly.

I wanted the Blackfish to take his troops to help Sansa and Jon. They need him and his men! But no, of course not.

Overall, I liked it. Next week's episode looks good.

I think Brienne's influence on Jaime was that he took the Riverrun castle with no bloodshed (except for the Blackfish, who chose to go out that way).

I really need to reread the last book or two. Pretty sure the scene from last week (the uncarried out threats to hang someone) were in the book about when Jaime arrived. Thinking I remember something about a bloodless takeover, too, but its been a couple of years...

I wondered if there was more than milk of the poppy in the medicine Arya was given: she seemed to heal really fast. Glad she is on her way home.

Hoping Dani's dragon sets all the slaver ships in the harbour on fire.

They have a lot of plot lines to tie together in the next couple of episodes. Looking forward to seeing what they do with them.

I can't help but think there will be some large force that shows up to help the Starks battle for Winterfell, but who? Littlefinger and the warriors from the airy?
And it seems that Arya and the Hound will come face to face soon with both of them heading back to Westeros. I wonder how soon Dany will make it there as well?

I loved this episode too!

I thought that Arya could beat her in the dark, because she learned to fight blind. When they would fight the waif had the advantage of sight, now Arya had the advantage of learning to flight blind.

Just a thought.

I really liked this episode, too hard to pick one favorite.
I liked seeing Brienne and Jaime together again. The tension between them, not just as former allies turned pretty much enemies but as a man and a woman with mutual attraction they can't act on, SO wel lwritten and acted! I also loved the unexpected bonus of the Bronn and Podrick reunion. So nice to have a lighthearted moment between them, or between anyone really. I hardly remembered they knew each other! And their conversation... isn't that exactly what all of us were thinking too???

Also really liked Missandei and Grey Worm telling jokes with Tyrion. It wasn't a scene with big significance, just something fun to see.

The Hound with the Brotherhood, arguing over who got to kill the guys was great too. I wouldn't mind a bit if he joined up with them. Maybe if we hang around the Riverlands long enough, we might get to see Hot Pie again too?

The scene where Jaime threatens Edmure, or as we now have to call him, Black Jack Randall. I'll send your baby to you by catapult??? SO season one Jaime, he even repeats "The things we do for love".

Things I didn't like in this episode:
How obsessed Jaime is with his damn sister. Book Jaime is so over that bitch!
Death of the Blackfish. Waste of a good character.
I am happy Arya is out of her holding pattern in Braavos, but that chase was comical. The waif was more like The Terminator, and Arya was ridiculously recovered from repeated stabs in the belly. Did that milk of the poppy put her to sleep for months?

I am worried about next week. Jon Snow looked so sad and beaten. And when he says, only one of us has to die, I am concerned he does something like challenge Ramsay to single combat, or maybe surrender himself to Ramsey in exchange for Rickon.

AND CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE TOWER OF JOY, BRAN??? You owe us one after getting Hodor killed.

"Save" keeps randomly showing up at the end of people's posts sometimes. There was just a thread about it, I didn't read it so I'm not sure if they figured out why.

What was the theater woman getting from behind the mirror when she left Arya sleeping? I was wondering if it was either poison or some kind of magic?

S/O sort of -

Do you watch After the Thrones as well? Does anyone else wish they knew the world of GRRM/the show/the books like they do? I love it.

I also wish there was a group like this after the Harry Potter and LOTR movies to talk through things... I love it. I'm such a nerd.

My husband kind of watches with me, but he doesn't really follow it. When I watch ATT he always complains on how confusing it is and he doesn't even understand what they are talking about LOL.

Lastly - did you catch the discussion on there about the whole trial by combat part? The comments about the trial of seven? Sounds cool and I need to get on the books faster.

I was grinning from ear to ear during the scene with Bronn and Podrick. They are 2 of my favorite characters and the whole scene was just plain fun. And THE HOUND is back!!! Soooo happy about that. I know he used to be awful but then he and Arya were together and he softened up, and I became a fan.

Of course we had to suspend reality a bit when Arya was running from the waif. I attributed it to adrenaline...if you are about to die, it's easy to imagine you'd forget the pain and run for your life, right?!

To the book readers: do Jamie and Brienne ever hook up, or do they just lust after each other for eternity? I really love their scenes together.

And The Blackfish...what a badass. I don't recognize the actor but he was superb in that role. I admit I can't quite keep track of what is going on with the Tully's and River Run and how all of this fits together, especially with the Stark's. I feel so stupid sometimes that I can't pice it all together, lol!

GoT very seldom has cameos. Last night though a Canadian comedian that does awesome impressions of the entire cast practically was on. He was the dude that the Hound axed in the head first.

I think Jaquen trained arya perfectly to the result he wanted. I think that was his end game.

Bronn and Podrick scene was awesome.

The jokes with misendi and Tyrion funny, and the dragon thump returning Dani.

Little bits of the next two episodes have been revealed by the award nomination releases.

So a couple of things.

One, we at the Epeanymous house think Arya may not have been battling someone else, but herself, which was why we didn't see the battle.

Two, a friend of mine is floating a theory that rings true for me, which is that the Cersei plot is going to culminate in her fulfilling the prophecy by killing Tommen herself (to save herself since she now can't rely on the Mountain). That is going to be the thing that finally pushes Jamie away from her, also.

Very interesting. Cersei I does expect him to die before her. I could see her killing him.
