HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

So, does this mean Arya is the best swordsman in Weteros?

No; she is no man

that's Tolkien, jerk

[BurtReynolds]

Great now we have to have another tournament.

I think Sansa was just mourning the loss of the Starks' collective innocence, and Baelish was just thinking about putting the moves on Sansa like he always is

I took it as a mixture of selfhatred at seeing Arya being able to defend herself (i.e. Thinking Arya would not have been victimized by Ramsey) and jealousy that she is back to being the "useless" Stark. Baelish recognized he might still have a shot at manipulating her while Jon is mining dat dragonass.

That's pretty much how I saw it.

Yeah Bronn laughing at Dickon was fantastic.

[doone]

K, I'm confused. Where in Westeros were they went the doth raki attacked? Just outside King's Landing?

just saw how my phone autocorrected my question.

[BurtReynolds]

Poor Dickon is probably a crispy critter now.

[doone]

Any guesses who tackled Jamie off his horse?

[The Argonaut]

I've seen a lot of re-caps today just taking it for granted that it was Bronn. That makes sense.

[BurtReynolds]

I freeze framed it and it looked like Bronn, but not 100% sure.

[doone]

That's who I thought but also wasn't sure.

Was lord Tarly killed?

[jwfocker]

One of the guys on after the thrones made a good point about the Arya/Sansa dynamic. He pointed out Arya always wanted to be a warrior and Sansa always wanted to be a princess/Queen with kids and all the royal trappings. When Sansa watched Arya take on Brienne in that practice duel and actually hold her own and come out on top it was like a gut punch for Sansa. Arya has become what she always wanted to be and Sansa hasn't.

Thought it was good take on it.

[Revelator]

I'm guessing it was Bronn who saved Jamie at the end....yes, saved, I think Jamie and Bronn are both still alive. I think Dickon and Tully are too. My heart was beating out of my chest when that episode ended. Great stuff, aside from piddly shit here and there, this season is on fire IMO

[BurtReynolds]

So are the faceless men cool with Arya doing whatever she wants with what they taught her? Seems like they wouldn't be finished with her yet.

But then the faceless men are one of my least favorite things about GoT.

[dimejinky99]

What have I missed?

Littlefinger has no leverage or position or army right? What even is he?

How come he's not dead AF at this stage? Why is he tolerated? Nobody trusts him or wants him around.

[BurtReynolds]

He controls the Veil army I think.

[jwfocker]

Yeah Littlefinger has a very substantial army at his disposal.

[dimejinky99]

That makes sense. But he sees which way the winds blowing before most. Or has up to now.

How come he isn't attempting to schmooze Dany? That's more his style. Or is he just biding his time?

My idea before the season started is that they let her go because they know she'll come back. I'm wavering on that now, as she seems to oscillate between being unable to connect (her meeting with Hot Pie) and feeling feels (running back to Winterfell). Still think it's a possibility.
