Only 3? It feels like it just started up again.
Now, on to the episode: if I knew the little old lady was the mean girl how the hell did Arya not know? I was surprised to see The Hound back. It did my heart good to see Theone come out of the darkness. And lastly, I just love, love, love Margery's grandma. I could have applauded when she got done with Cercy. I knew Margery was being a player.

We said the same thing about Arya. We were like WTH? Everyone saw that one coming. And I thought for sure the Hound was killed off in the books, but then again...ya just never know, right?

I like the action and characters coming together in the Riverlands. Any time 2 characters come together after a separation, sparks fly. What makes this show unique for me is that characters move in and out of the story, return after seasons long absences, and it's seamless. Can't wait until the Jaime/Brienne reunion next week...
Arya should have been more on guard, that was a mistake on her part. I'm sure she will be okay though, otherwise this whole almost 2 season excursion to Braavos was just a big waste of time.
It will be nice to have the Hound back in play again. Who will he ally with? Sansa?
I was happy to have no Dany this week, yes we get it, you're a badass with a dragon. But I missed Bran, I am anxious for some flashback information. And what is going on at Winterfell? Is Ramsay Reek-ifying Rickon?

Because we saw the scene in the previous episode where the mean girl asked for the ok to kill her from the guy. Arya did not know that the mean girl would be sent to kill her. Therefore why would she be suspicious of some random nice old lady?

I just knew he was still alive. Even back in the books I knew he was still alive. I yelled I knew he was still alive and dh laughed at me.

Thank you. DH and I also agreed that Arya should have seen that attack coming from a mile away. She even had Needle out and ready the night before. I think she'll be found by the actress, Lady Crane, who will help her. I like that The Hound is back, I didn't see that coming. I'm happy that Bronn is back too, he always makes me laugh . I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what kind of game Margery is playing, and how it will end. I'm afraid Cersie is going to eventually kill grandma though. As an Outlander watcher too, seeing Tobias Menzies play such a milquetoast character (Edmure Tully) is kind of weird now. He's so evil on Outlander as the villain, and a really compelling actor, which you wouldn't know just seeing him on GoT. I'm also looking forward to Jamie and Brienne's reunion, it looks tense.

What significance was the Rose of Tyrell that Margery gave grandma I think she was telling her that she is still a Tyrell at heart. She couldn't slip her a written note, in case it was intercepted and read, but the family symbol shows she still is working for the interests of the family. I always love any scene with grandma, she is wonderfully prickly! (pun intended)

Letting the girl get the slip on her like that just makes it seem like she hasn't learned anything at all during her time in Braavos. Come on, Arya! You're better than that.

I think she just decided that she was Arya Starke, not "a girl". And part of being Arya Starke is having and using Needle. Not so much that shes thought she'd need it for protection.

I didn't watch yet but I saw the very beginning. I love The Hound so I was thrilled to see him back!

Where did she get all the money?

I actually thought this episode was a lot more interesting than last week's. I did not actually see the old woman as the many faced girl so that was a surprise to me. I did think if Arya was going out she should have brought her sword. Guess she won't be going back to get it unless she stashed it again. Falling in the water probably cleaned the wound so she just has to get bandaged up I hope.
It's too bad that character that got hung was only in one episode. Could have been interesting but I guess he was just there to explain how the hound survived.
I do hope Grandma Tyrell gets out of the city in time before the Seven grab her. Not enough episodes left for all the story lines.

And lastly, I just love, love, love Margery's grandma. She calls the Dowager Countess from Downton Abbey to mind for me. I have a penchant for snarky old ladies as I plan to be one myself.

only 3 episodes left? what the heck?
If Arya dies I will be pissed that we endured that whole house of black and white nonsense for nothing. I thought it was interesting that her storyline wasn't in the preview for next week and wasn't in the "inside this episode" either. I'm waiting for After the Thrones today to see what they say.
The Hound - it has been so long since we have seen him that I thought he had died. I think I need to go back and rewatch as I'm catching up on the reading part.
I'm also looking forward to Brienne and Jamie reuniting. To hear him proclaim his love for his sister in the preview was a bit off-putting, can't he get over that? And I thought Bronn was poisoned by the sisters of the sand? Ugh. I'm getting old.
I just hope we see Ramsey go down this season. I don't really want to wait on that.

Bronn was poisoned, but a few seconds later they gave him the antidote so he wouldn't die. I can't remember why they saved him though. :/

I'm gonna be pissed if Arya dies. I've never really cared for the Braavos story line of hers at all and if it's been a huge waste of time because she dies...ugh.

I really don't think Arya will die. Partly because of the Red Woman looking in her eyes bit. I also think that the girl who attacked Arya (I called her Teachers Pet when dh and I were discussing it last night) failed a test. She was told not to let Arya suffer, and instead went for multiple belly wounds which are not alway lethal immediately but are very painful.
i was very happy to see Bronn again. Missed his sass.

As we were watching last night, DH and I were talking about Jamie. I was so happy he was back to being a bad ass of sorts. I am ready to see him and Brienne reunite. DH did have to remind me that he is still a bad guy. He pushed Bran out the window, has this thing with his sister, etc. I told him he has grown and matured. I am hoping for a better outcome for him.

Loved the episode. I knew the Hound was alive and had to text my SIL to remind her that I called it, lol! I wish Ian McShane was around for more than one episode. He's a great actor.

I loved this episode, too. Old characters coming back, interesting new ones (Lady Mormont!) So many story lines are finally coming together. I can't believe Ian McShane had such a small role. The impact of the slaughter was that much more surprising.
Looks like we have some battles (finally!) coming up. This would be a good time to start a death pool. Can't wait to see the weasely Freys get their due, and I can't wait until Jaime and Brienne see each other again.

I thought it was a pretty good episode! Who did Sansa write that letter to? I remember Littlefinger told her she had an army if she needed one, was she writing him? If so, I wonder if it will back fire? I do not trust him

One more question, when Jon and Sansa were trying to get allies that one house 100% refused them. He said they were loyal to the Starks until Rob let the Iron Born come in and kill his family and take his castle. Theon is Iron Born but he helped Sansa. Are the Iron Born and Starks normally not allies? so confused... hopefully my questions isnt too confusing!

Theon was given to the Starks after his father rebelled against Robert to ensure Balon's good behavior.
