Or over the marshlands near Moat Cailin? Or over the Barrowlands, past White Harbor without being spotted somehow? Wait what? It simply made no sense. They hold Moat Cailin, moving from there to the eastern shore would not be impossible (they could draw on additional manpower, at that). Or from Ironman Bay to a fork of the Trident - one ship is easy to move quietly. Either makes more sense than going around Dorne. | ||

It could work in a dialogue with someone else though. On another topic, it looks like we'll be getting the snow castle scene next week. It means the kiss, which means "Only Cat". It was to be expected with the title of the episode. I can't wait! | ||

Yeah they are, but I was really expecting it when Asha/Yara/whoever was talking to him and he kept yelling "I'm not Theon I'm Reek!". Would have been perfect there, imo. | ||

To me, it feels like a line that should come out in a scene of total, quiet, frightening domination. Which is why I'm surprised it didn't come out when Ramsay named Theon, back in S3. I believe he was on the cross, all close to him and creepy. It was perfect. Speaking of, the bath scene would have been fitting I think. I just think we'll never get it though. | ||

Oh wait didn't Tywin promised that prince guy he would let him fight the mountain? shit this could be the perfect set up. What a bitch, I'd be so pissed if I read that as an unsullied... Cersei picking a champion doesn't make sense at all from watching the show, it's Tywin (i. e. Tommen by proxy) who would pick a champion... | ||

Did anyone else expect Reek to attack Asha and turn the tide? Also, what was up with a half-nude Ramsay attacking a bunch of seasoned iron men and then just letting them leave unscathed? | ||

He made it out to be the most obvious thing in the world that the accuser should pick the combatant, which it apparently isn't. | ||

Given her role as host I think it's totally reasonable that Lysa made the selection. I don't think it's that unusual that people predicted trial by combat in the other thread, since they've brought it up several times this season already and it has worked well for Tyrion in the past. They already hinted at how one-sided the trial would be and people probably knew the outcome wasn't going to be favorable, so why wouldn't he take the same approach? The people thinking that Bronn will fight for him are pretty funny though. Obviously they don't understand Bronn. Brown Ben Plumm said it best: "There are old sellswords and bold sellswords but no old bold sellswords." No amount of money could make Bronn go up against The Mountain in a trial by combat, his life means too much to him. Not to mention his fighting style doesn't match up either...it would be difficult to get a man like that off balance to be able to knock him over or deliver a cheap shot because he has too much mass and too much reach. No, what Tyrion needs is a much quicker man with much more to fight for...hmmm...(and poison) | ||
