Game of Thrones- Episode 8

[housecarder]

Who is watching tonight?

Do you think Arya was really hurt or it was a way to lure the waif in?

We going to see zombie Mountain take out some sparrows?

Is the Hound going to lose his shit?

What's going on with Brienne, Jamie, and the Blackfish?

Did Sansa write Little Finger? Good idea or bad idea?

[housecarder]

I realized today that at some point I hit silver reg. I blame these live threads!

Something tricky is happening with Arya, but I don't buy the theories floating out there. I definitely think she'll survive, but I just don't think she was dumb enough to have no clue the waif would be after her. I hope we get some follow up.

I'm excited the Hound is back and can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Can we see Dany again now?

I am going to be pissed if there is a split between Sansa and Jon.

You guise -

I'm totally spiraling on the new Syrio Forel theory. Remember Syrio, Aria's old teacher who taught her all the ways of the sword back in season one and was killed off-screen? The same man that triggered Aria to start her kill list?

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click here to see more.}Syrio Forel is Jaquen H'ghar.

Also

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click here to see more.}Think about it - when we first see Jaqen, he is captured and with the group of boys (and Aria) going up to train at the Wall. He is an ELITE assassin - how was he caught... unless he WANTED to be caught. He wanted to be there, to watch Aria, to help Aria, and to keep an eye on Aria.

H and I were JUST talking about the above spoiler a few days ago.

And then, HBO released this pre-episode picture

Look closer...

What do you think?

P.S. Sorry for all the spoilers!

This would make me so happy!

[housecarder]

b I posted about that last picture in the thread for the last episode. Seems like we might get the dancing teacher back.
ironbaby I don't buy most of the theories either, except for maybe it was a trick to let the waif think she got her.

[housecarder]

b I think we'll get a bit more of the hound this episode because he's in the trailer.

Do you think we'll see more of Bran and his visions? Will we ever get to the tower of Joy?

Screw it, I'm not spoilering because I know nothing (Jon Snow).

What if the Aria we saw stabbed, flashing money, was actually Jaqen?

What if it was all a test for the WAIF... not Aria?

The Waif could not drop her jealousy. Jaqen sent her out with the rule to 'don't let her suffer'.

So maybe he pretended to be Aria to see if the Waif could drop her jealousy and assassinate Aria 'without suffering'. The Waif failed when she stabbed her and left her to die in the river.

Then they are breaking all the rules because the faceless men can only use the faces of the dead. Not saying they won't go there, but so far we've been told it's not allowed.

I really hope we get more Bran visions soon!

The Tower of Joy needs to happen, but that will be a BIG reveal, so I could see them waiting until the season finale or maybe even next season.

Is next season FOR SURE the last one?  

Because there is a LOT of stuff that needs to happen before the battle with the Wights.  

They have said they only have content for 13 more episodes, so two half seasons.

Tower of Joy I expect to happen this episode or next (called Battle of the Bastards). Then they can build up to him doing something about the knowledge (meeting up with Jon or sending a raven) and then Jon doing something about his heritage.

LOL I really don't think you've said this enough yet.

And I'll keep saying it as long as people keep saying its a valid theory

I'm counting on these threads to get my silver reg status!

You only have three more episodes. Maybe start a NHIE thread on your newly revived board.

She only needs 161 more posts. Easily doable in three episodes, especially since one will be a finale.

And if we ever get to see the Tower of Joy I'm sure we all will have quite a few things to say about that lol.

If we are not in complete shock and can form sentences, yes.

[housecarder]

It's time!!!

[PepperPottsJ]

Tik fucking tok HBO.... I'm timing this episode!

[rablissful]

[housecarder]

I can't watch the opening theme anymore without thinking of Brienne doing interpretive dance to it.

Wait, what?

[housecarder]

Starting with Arya! YASSS!

[housecarder]

So she was that stupid...

Looks like it. #muchdisappoint

[rablissful]

At least she looks like she'll be ok!

[PepperPottsJ]

Does Arya have a cold?

[housecarder]

I wouldn't want milk of the poppy either. Sleeping too deep isn't safe.

Gah I'm at my BILs and I'm behind.

Hound doesn't waste time.

[PepperPottsJ]

Not sure if him smelling his finger or his teeth disturbed me more...

[rablissful]

I see men are no different in fantasy worlds

DYING

You're shit at dying, you know that?
