LadyNymeria I 100% agree that if he goes south the Walkers can too. It's the only thing explaining why they haven't yet, because they couldn't.
I heard a decent explanation for the Bran is Bran the Builder theory that actually seemed plausible. But that kind of paradox where Bran is his own great great great grandfather or however many greats makes my head hurt.
I heard something about the Bran the Builder one too, but I'm not sure where I stand on it right now. Part of me just wants to say no because I don't really want everything to get tied back to Bran in the end, but they've built up his powers a lot and showed us what he could do in the Hodor episode so I imagine there's definitely more to come.

That's a good article for the theory. Pulls the little pieces together other articles use for the same theory.
I don't understand the time loop implications either. Going back a few decades and warging into the mind of a boy seems a lot easier than basically going back in time and being another person.

Plenty for them to clear up for us still!!
Especially since he hasn't been in the past physically so far, just observing and "whispering". Can he now time travel as well as see the past? Because he'd have to be there physically to father children and begin House Stark.

That's exactly where I'm getting hung up with this all! His mind traveling through time vs him actually time traveling. Completely different IMO!!
Hi! I missed watching live with you all last night!
Overall I thought this was an okay episode. I loved the Hound, and I really enjoyed seeing Jaime and Brienne together. They have such a special relationship and seem to truly respect each other.
I was pretty bummed by the Arya storyline. I'm glad she got revenge on the waif, and I'm glad she's finally leaving to go back to Westeros. But after all the interesting and complex theories about last week's episode, it was a complete let down to find out that everything was exactly as it had appeared to be, and she really had been stupidly standing out in public, making herself an easy target. Lame.

Although I think she always intended to lure the waif back to that cave, she just got caught off guard the first time being a bit too cocky.

So I have a super duper serious question. If Jaquen made this big thing about being no one and having no name, why does HE have a name? Shouldn't he also be no one?
Yeah but Edmure surrendering for him kinda fixed that. Maybe Jaime will send the army north anyway and that will be a twist to the end of the next episode.
Not holding my breath for that though. A girl can hope.
Except that Bolton's have an allegiance with the Lannisters. There is no way he will send the army. I think the only reason that he allowed her safe passage with the army in the first place is because they're friends. I'm amazed he even did that.
Are there any legit Boltons left? Why do they care about their allegiance with that crazy bastard? I had a crazy theory in my head last week that Brienne was going to convince Jamie to help fight the Boltons. It made NO sense but I thought it would be cool. But Jamie heading back to King's Landing and the Wild Fire theory sounds more exciting.
Another question I had about Riverrun. Didn't Jamie say if he got the castle peacefully he'd let the army march north to help Jon and Sansa? Or was that only of the Blackfish gave up, not everyone else.
Yes, it was ONLY if Brienne got the Blackfish to surrender.
She didn't, he's dead. That's why she snuck out.
Like after that whole mooney-eyed "I hope I don't have to fight you" scene, once the Blackfish wouldn't surrender I was like "YES! Wait, NO! Jaime and Brienne are going to duel!" And then she leaves in a freaking boat. Okay. Zzzzzzz.
So I have a super duper serious question. If Jaquen made this big thing about being no one and having no name, why does HE have a name? Shouldn't he also be no one?
Jaqen doesn't have a name. Remember when he kills himself by drinking poison in the last ep of the last season? Then his face is on someone else? Jaqen's (sexy, gorgeous) face is just a face like any other Faceless Man face. I don't think we've heard anyone refer to him as Jaqen H'ghar since S2. We just need to keep seeing him I guess to establish some sort of continuity as a face that represents the authority in the house of B&W.
I really like the Hound now. Hated him at the beginning, especially after the whole chopped his horse's head off thing, but I really like having him around.
The Mountain did that, not the Hound! Even more reason to hate that dude.

I don't think Jaquen is his real name, just what name he gives people.

Oops!! That's right. Then the Hound jumps in to stop his brother from mauling Ser Loras.
And yet the mighty Khal Drogo was brought down by an infected cut. Yeah, okay.
The wound in the book was WAY worse than the one in the show. Like flap of skin hanging off his chest, missing nipple (IIRC) worse. Show made the outcome the same, but without the hanging skin.

Got it. The questioned popped into my head last night when we were watching the recap. The show runners called him Jaqen.

I decided this episode was extremely underwhelming overall.
The good stuff: Brienne and Jaime scenes- I love that they respect one another deep down; however, I do think that Jaime's explanation of his devotion and absolute love for Cersei (gag me) is a warning to her. I think letting her row away will be the last positive interaction they have. If they meet again I believe he would kill her for Cersei. The Hound- cutting down those people and acting himself is what I've been waiting for. I'm glad he's back in full force. But I could do without the flashes of his ween. (As well as the butt poking...wtf was that...awkward) Dany- being back where she needs to be, but her entrance was so anticlimactic. Like get your dragon out there and burn those ships up!
The underwhelming: ARYA- I just don't buy the potentially fatal wounds healing over night. I also don't believe jaquin would just let her walk away from the faceless men. Like others said---what the hell was the point of all of that? I'm glad the waif was killed but I just am not digging this story line. It confused me for seasons and never even clarified--now it's just ended. Wtf. Fuckface Tommen- I am SO pissed about this ruling for no trial by combat. I was looking forward to seeing the outcome of whoever was going to fight the mountain (the hound, Lancel, Tommen). The Blackfish- do we really think he's dead?? I feel like in this show you have to literally see the person be beheaded to rule them as dead. I am kinda hoping he somehow isn't and finds a way to help Sansa and Jon. Because honestly- they are screwed!

At first I assumed the Blackfish was dead because they said he was. But since Edmure sent Tully men after him, if the Tully men who found him decided to be loyal to the Blackfish instead of Edmure (considering he just handed over Riverrun), he could still be alive.
I was big on the "we didn't see it, it didn't happen", but Stannis turned out to actually be dead so that's not a hard and fast rule for me now. Although the Hound did end up being alive...
