She is probably thinking "Shit...the creepy brother lived."

Perfect, thank you.
Yep. I had half the mind to write in the corresponding character name, but thought nah.
He's pretending. He notices a bunch of stuff that a true newcomer would never notice.
The skeletons/skulls of the old Targaryen dragons are in the dungeon under the Red Keep. Qyburn ruined one with the ballista test.
He heard what happened to his siblings and figures, "if I don't show up for work, they can't kill me off right?"
Yeah where the fuck is he? Would Jon really go to Dragonstone without him?

I hope we see Ghost at least once this season.
I like to imagine that he's in every Littlefinger scene, menacingly glaring at him just off-screen.
Will Dany have an encounter with the ever elusive Ghost to keep those Dany×Jon shippers going lol?

Ghost is like Roach
You just whistle and he will appear out of nowhere. Too much work showing him travel around with Jon

Lol, Jon will call Ghost and he'll be on top of Winterfell's great keep.
Ha, Ghost and Rhaegal would be buddies.

Lol, nice cast list. Is he saying that Missandei looks like Emma Watson though?!
Ah, right you are! Never mind then.
They share a forlorn look that says a lot without speaking. Perhaps Sansa told her off screen (before they went to meet Bran), but I think Arya realises what's up.
watch the episode again then, because you arent paying enough attention

It's Wednesday and the gold being in King's Landing is still being explained...
Watched the episode again last night. So good. Really feels like this season is flying by though.

Rickon's grave is right next to Eddard's as per Jon's request. So Arya probably knows.
Sansa saying Bran is home (alone btw) should tell her Rickon's gone.

I've rewatched the scene, the silence on sansas part conveys nothing about Rickon. Rather Bran's home but he's not really himself anymore. Then we get concerned arya face and cut to a new scene. If you have to jump through loops to contrive the true meaning from this scene, it's bad writing.
As I've said, we know Rickon's remains are in the crypts. If the show wanted to acknowledge him they could have.
Reply with some substance next time, or don't waste our time.
Again, why would Arya probably know? The show does nothing to tell us she does. Rickon's grave is with Ned's. If the show wanted to acknowledge it, they would have panned the camera slightly to show it.

Dunno mate, it's just guess work.
Things happen off screen, Jon discussing his death with Sansa happened off screen at Castle Black, the conversation we see starts with them talking about how they should have never left Winterfell. So we're left to assume that she knows what happened.
I assume it's the same here.

Yeah it's natural to assume the conversation would happen off screen. As with the Sansa Jon scene.
But there really isn't anything in the scene itself acknowledging Rickon at all, as the poster I quoted argued.

Ah, I agree with you on that.
When I first watched the scene I thought Arya was reacting to Sansa's pause after telling her Bran is back, meant that there was something "wrong" with him.
Which I think is the direction they went with.
As much as some people want an on-screen reaction to Rickon's death, I think he's simply forgotten. Everything else(including my thoughts on Arya knowing) is headcanon.

What if the Night King revives dead direwolves? I would be sad but hyped at the same time.

Zombie hodor would break my heart.
So the children make a weapon that they can't even defeat with their own magic and weapons? Wouldn't you have a failsafe for a weapon of this nature?

Well, it was a cave full of dragon glass and dragon glass is the children's ultimate weapon, so it makes sense for there to be some primitive artwork there
I bring up Tyrion because Davos is the closest thing to Jon's Hand, yet we get may more dialogue and overall exposure from Tyrion than we do from Davos. Tyrion talked to both Jon & Dany after their first meet; Davos seems to be an extrovert talking to Missandei so it'd be nice to at least see him talking to Jon more, with amount of Tyrion/Dany scenes we got.

I need more Dickon going forward. Money says tyrion is the one talking to him in a jail cell on dragonstone and bronn is with him for another snorting chuckle
Oh man, I know we're all excited and hopeful for a Jon and Arya reunion, and even Sansa pointed it out last episode.
But one super-obvious thing that for some reason didn't occur to me until just now?
I want to see Jon and Arya fighting side-by-side. Maybe with Brienne too?
God damn I hope that happens.

So I never realized this was a running plot point but back to the conversation a few pages back about who sent the assassin all the way back in season 1 to kill the injured Bran. I was watching "Talk the Thrones" " https://www.pscp.tv/ringer/1ypKdljQjddKW?t=32
And they hint that there is something to this. I always assumed it was the Lannisters to keep Bran quiet about the incest between Jamie and Cersei. Then after finding out how Littlefinger was behind the Arryn death, I assumed it was Littlefinger. Now....not sure. Hope this is revealed.
EDIT - they also muddy up the origin of the WW. I thought it was simply that before the pact between the First Men and the Children, there was a constant war between them and the Children (Leaf) created the WW to fight men. Then they lost control and the Men and Children banded together to banish the Night King and the White Walkers behind the Wall.
Isn't that the official history?

Wasn't it an experiment that went awry?
Don't think they had a failsafe, they wanted to drive the First Men out and out of desperation came the Night King.
If they did I'm convinced we wouldn't see the White Walkers appear in this series.
Instead we have a giant wall and a certain type of metal that could kill them.
Not sure they know how to kill the Night King though. Don't think he's as simple as getting hit by dragonglass/Valyrian steel.

I liked this 4th episode, but imagine if Sapochnik's did it, it would be so much more amazing.
Battle of the bastard is the best battle scene ever doen both in tele and movie IMO.
soundscream

We were going to in episode 2 but the scene was cut. I fear we wont see him this season.
What if Arya getting the dagger and her sparring with Brienne means she'll have to fight the Hound in wight form? Until now the army of the dead have been a bunch of unknown zombies, but things will get interesting when they will have to fight dead relatives. Headless Ned Stark, headless Oberyn, Rickon, faceless Ramsey etc. They surely haven't burn the bodies in Westeros.

I see absolutely zero reason as to why he wouldn't be a wight.
I'd be annoyed if he wasn't.

How is some orcs running away and getting slaughtered by horses better than battle of the bastards, that is not even a battle, and that is not even the best in the triology.

Tears would flood the streets. I'm certain there will be a zombie hodor though. Hopefully seeing him brings humanity back to Bran.
That's just my favourite moment from the battle. Imho the battle of pellenor fields on the whole and helms deep are far ahead of anything on thrones. No disrespect to thrones, they're just fantastic. My stand out battle from thrones is still when the wildlings attack the wall. The panning shots from castle black, to the top of the wall and down to the wildlings
were brilliant.
He better still be holding the door.
Everyone is talking about the fight scenes, but the baby -> Jon transition in The Winds of Winter with dat music and everything, legendary TV moment.
Wights can be killed by conventional weapons can't they? No need for Valyrian/Dragonglass.
SurrenderDorothy

They can be killed and raised again, but killing them with Valyrian Steel/Dragonglass or fire will put the wights out.
When Jon stabbed the wight in season one it was momentarily ''dead'', Jon had to throw a lamp and kill it with fire.
Knowing this, all of the wights that were killed with conventional weapons in Hardhome must have been risen again.

Yup. Still gives me chills. I love watching the reaction videos to that scene too. Ugh. What an amazing "show dont tell" moment.

meh. it was an ok scene. everyone knew about that theory and it was pretty anti-climatic for me. whats worse is that they didnt even confirm his father's identity.
