Sansa is still alive and her wolf died first while Robb's wolf died at about same time. And Arya's went wild which is pretty opposite of what happened to Arya since being a Faceless is about following strict rules. | ||

I liked the rest of the episode though (yeah stuff with arya and tyrion is silly but we'll have to deal with it the whole season - they can't focus only on jon). Considering the direction that the show seems to be taking I think we can be 99% sure baby jon is in the tower. | ||

Granted I think she will die episode 9...but still... | ||

And Arya's went wild which is pretty opposite of what happened to Arya since being a Faceless is about following strict rules. dunno about you mate (you seem to have a lot of angry posts in GoT threads, are you alright? hows life?), but i saw Lady's death due to Joffreys whim basically ("please, she never hurt anyone!" or "it wasnt her fault, it was a different direwolf!") as foreshadowing of what would happen to Sansa when a different wolf bit the crown (eddard), and who would be responsible for it (joffrey, obv)... some say they interpret Sansa allowing her direwolf to die so easily same as the fate that would befall her, examples used were Sansa distancing herself from the Starks and being more of a tender daughter of house Tully when she first arrives at KL, but also later when she renounces her father and calls her brother a traitor in front of the court --> her stark side died alongside lady. arya sending her direwolf away on the other hand symbolizes her losing touch with who and what she is. her fate led her to becoming no one, but deep down inside we know that's not really the case (hence why she hid the needle instead of throwing it away)... when she became distanced from her direwolf, she eventually distanced herself from being arya stark. but they're both alive, somewhere... Robb one is pretty self-explanatory. but if u wanna be literal and think wolf dying=stark dying, fine by me... another poster summed it up better than me, here, have a go...

At least it symblozied that to me. She allways looked more like a Tully then a Stark to begin with. While her brothers and sisters were more Stark in their appearance and their values, honor and justice, she was seeking out a more material path. The killing of her direwolf sort of kills the Stark in her, and just now is she starting to become more Starky. The same thing with Arya, her sending her wolf away to save her from getting killed foreshadowed her getting lost herself, and beginning her path to becomming no one (If Arya's path back to finding her family and herself doesn't start withh her finding her wolf, I will be dissapointed). Robb died, and they killed his wolf, which made the death even stronger (especially if you take into account that the Stark are wargers). So when they now go on to randomly kill Shaggydog what does this symbolize, does it foreshadow a Rickon death? If not, what does it symbolize? Nothing? Then it is lazy writing imo. If it symbolize Rickon dieing it sucks as well, because I am tired of them fucking up the Starks. | ||

Wall as always the best scenes, the execution was so tense. Well done. Umber was great, High Sparrow great as always. Also loved how they teased the Dorne master plan with Qyburn given away goodies from Dorne. Arya chapter showed how her entire season 4 could have been handled in one 10 minute segment like the one from last nights episode. What a difference in pacing. | ||

But if you cut her season 4 arc you cut Rory's Hound. In my opinion he had easily the best performance on the show. However NCW and Lena have done tremoundously well with the golden twins. | ||

In its original sense, a shaggy dog story is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline. | ||

Bran gets to see his dad beat a kingsguard alone(Not Dayne but someone at least) and they have an action scene for another episode. | ||
