Then she can run away forever to become a proper faceless girl. What a fitting ending that would be. I go one further. I think it would be awesome if she wound up killing one of her siblings/cousin while carrying out her vengeance bloodbath or if one of them ends her. Let her go full circle. Besides, there are no good ends for members of house Stark. How does one emigrate to Hot Bid's glorious new home (or was I late to notice that)? | ||

Dear math, cue the "darth sansa' meme to maximum. That read a bit like Cersei at times but for the humble and self-aware angle. Hmm, so maybe LF wasn't collecting dragon banners after all. Doesn't change anything really, just a tidbit. The reminder about Myranda's husband reeks of 'these books are too far apart' and 'I don't trust people to remember things'. I hope it is edited out. | ||

Speculation: + Show Spoiler + Am i the only one who got an eerie feeling that Harry the heir is gonna die like 2 chapters later in some deus ex machina, super unlikely mishap? I mean he looks to be a decent warrior and quite normal (that introductory sound-bite is whatever), and could shape things for Sansa to be normal and healthy, so i think he s just gonna die in like a tourney accident or his horse will trip when marching down the Bloody Gate or some shit | ||

I hope it is edited out. there were far bigger "i dont trust people to remember things" in the 4th and 5th, entire storylines reiminiced about in inner monolgoues and shit, i dont really mind that much | ||

He cannot take the Vale for his own so long as the great houses remain powerful, so he wants to drag them down. He plans to drain and and diminish their wealth and power, with the support of the merchants and lesser houses. Then he will be able to destroy the great houses by providing them loans and seizing their property when they cannot pay back the gold. | ||

Really enjoyed it actually, but Arya's still the best thus far imo. asbolutely, the other 3 were more teasers/ build-up chapters, most likely the first ones from the respective characters in Twow, Arya's is absolutely an important and real chapter | ||

+ Show Spoiler + My only complaint is they gave no clues about the Mance roleswap prior to the burning, unless I missed them. Other than that great episode. Lot better than I was expecting for this season. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + As expected, some huge deviations from the books: Brienne and Podrick happen to meet Littlefinger and Sansa at an inn. Jaqen H'ghar welcomes Arya in the House of Black and White in Braavos. Littlefinger brings Sansa to the North to marry Ramsay Bolton. Reek and Sansa will likely meet. Littlefinger is traveling back to King's Landing and is plotting with/against both Cersei and Bolton. Littlefinger hints at R+L=J. Jon Snow fires the arrow at Mance in the fire. No mention of the Rattleshirt reveal (yet). No mention of the Iron Islands (yet). Varys travels together with Tyrion all the way to Volantis without Aegon Targaryen. It seems that Ser Jorah and Tyrion are heading directly to Meereen, likely Tyrion will later meet Daenerys. Dany hasn't married Hizdar zo Loraq (yet). Sam hasn't gone on a journey (yet). No mention of Oldtown. Jaime doesn't go to Riverrun, he will visit the Sandsnakes instead. Guess who he will bring with him? Ser Barristan is killed by some sort of sect. Last time I checked Barristan was still alive in the books. A lot of these deviations seems to be streamlining the story and avoiding to introduce extra characters. I'm not exactly mad about it. Though the show does feel A LOT different from the books now. Also, things are progressing really fast. It might be that we will easily get into Winds of Winter territory by the end of the season. | ||
