Arya is just an asshole to Sansa for no reason and she is also getting played by Littlefinger how annoying

Bran will tell Arya and Arya will make it seem like she's onto him. Littlefinger is thinking he'll pit Arya against Sansa, bu it'll backfire because of Bran.

Edit: thats the way I see it. Arya can read lips and she probably knows he's try to scheme against her. Remember she's learned to be in the shadows.

Just finished watching the episode. Very good episode, but it's time to kill off Littlefinger. One too many story lines at this point in the series. I really dont care about him or Sansa anymore.

Littlefinger is the JRPG secret last human-sized boss after the angelic world-eating boss. He's gonna be the last hurdle to save this world from tyranny, after the walking dead and Cersei are gone.

Jon is back at the wall and we didn't get a arya/bran and Jon reunion scene?

There at Winterfell?
 
That'd be about the absolute worst thing this show can do now.

Kill the only character that has rock solid moral compass and doesn't give a fuck about the game of thrones. Dude is the only one doing the right thing in the show amongst the big players in the game.

That's how you get played, playa. If you don't play the Game of Thrones, then you're as good as dead. Don't matter what your moral compass is.
 
That Littlefinger subplot is becoming kind of lame. First of all, if Arya is following Littlefinger, she should have worn someone else's face. I don't why she forgot she could do that. Secondly, Littlefinger assumes she is a good enough rogue to pick his lock, go through his room and find the tiny hole in his matress cover? Yeah that's an air-tight plan you have there. I know Littlefinger is a great schemer but this is so contrived.
 
You know something? Cersei knows the dead can re-animate. The bloody Mountain is evidence of that.

Oh yeah. She doesn't even need to see more proof. She probably doesn't give a shit.

Bran will tell Arya and Arya will make it seem like she's onto him. Littlefinger is thinking he'll pit Arya against Sansa, bu it'll backfire because of Bran.

This is how it needs to go down.

This is a good point that Arya could use for backup proof between the three of them. It would be awesome if something as small as the lip reading thing is the thing that undoes LF.

This is a pretty good point too. He saw Arya can kick all kinds of ass so....she must also be great at picking locks.

Euron can think about turning on Cersei, but it's fucking Cersei. She's already planned 50 moves in advance. That guy is probably thinking she's just another hole for him to fuck.

I have a feeling that Cersei's descent into madness + her willingness to ally with literally anybody at this point will eventually cause her to overplay her hand and come back to bite her in a very direct way.

Bran will tell Arya and Arya will make it seem like she's onto him. Littlefinger is thinking he'll pit Arya against Sansa, bu it'll backfire because of Bran.

Bran really is the Stark's secret weapon against Littlefinger. Dude had LF shook when he parroted the "chaos is a ladder" line.

Agreed completely with this

The only way this isnt fucking dumb is that Arya is letting do his shit on purpose to let him get his guard down. Othetwise I don't know why she made so much fucking noise in opening and closing a door.

I'm genuinely hoping theyre setting up a Sansa/Arya scheme of setting him as if hes tricking them but in reality they knew the whole time. Otherwise.....ugh

Yeah, this is what I've been thinking the whole time since that scene. That's an awful lot of guess work about her abilities lol, most of which she hasn't given away.

I'm chalking it up to Arya being way too OP and she's know it, so she's being cocky. That's the way I'm thinking about it. I can also believe sisters that weren't cool with each other still not being cool with each other and also possibly being petty.

Meanwhile, so what's the odds of Jon getting burned by flames or flying a dragon by the end of all of this?
 
What I'm saying is that they forgot about those two. :p Honestly I don't even know what's going on at Casterly Rock. Are the Unsullied fighting against Euron or just chilling?
I wish GW was back at Dragonstone by now. I thought we would've seen the Unsullied catching up to the Dothraki horde in this episode after last episode's battle.

I would've loved seeing GW & Theon both in Jon's squad but it'll be awesome nonetheless.

Yeah, Bran is OP as fuck. He won't let any devastation happen to his family again.

Arya hasn't played the game but no way she's getting tricked by LF. She's not that stupid.

Well they pretty much deliberately avoided a Jon/Bran reunion. I'm convinced now that Bran's visions are pretty much only the for sake of the viewers. Jon is going to find out in a different, more dramatic way.

The casual way Arya suggested that they chop off the heads of the lords that might get offended, surprised me in how direct she was in regards to keeping people in line. My god, Robb with this version of Arya Stark by his side, would have wrecked shit up and down Westeros.

Jon Snow should become a white walker and live in the lands of always winter. This guy is distracting too much from the game of thrones.
I just remember isn't Jon Snow basically a zombie? Why does he need to bring a cold dead if he can go there himself? 🤔

Was getting caught part of your plan?
Here's how Little Finger vs. Arya is gonna end

That was such a great episode. Full of fan service which is when i knew internet would hate it.
The arya/sansa scene is great when you realize the characters are acting consistent with who they are. Arya is not someone who would just let sansa allow these idiots to talk shit about their king. That's fucking treason. Sansa only tolerated it because they complimented her and she's being brainwashed by littlefinger.

Cersei is smarter than i thought. I still think something terrible is going to happen and she will burn kings landing down forcing Jaime to kill her. Maybe euron will kill her unborn child. Maybe someone from the North trying to avenge Rob Starks unborn child. Tears will be shed for cersei. That will be George r.r Martin's snape moment.

The r+l theory is pretty much confirmed as well as the fact that he wasn't a bastard born out of wedlock. He's the one true king. The Dragon scene was great too.

Tarly's brother dying like an idiot was hilarious. Once again poor writing ruining what should've been a great moment. I don't blame the writers though. No one can write like George r.r. Martin. Not even himself seeing as how he's struggling to finish the books. This is the best we are going to get until the inevitable movie Adaptation.

That leaves us with gendry. The rowing joke killed me because gaf has been making it for four years now. Great back and forth between him and Davos and Jon snow. Loved the little laugh at the two queen line by tommund. Still felt like fan service but that's ok. I know some sick shit is coming. People will die so let's enjoy it before game of thrones pulls another obeyron or red wedding.

Looks like it could be next week. I don't think the hound dies before meeting arya. I do think gendry is Fucked. Same with the guy who has been brought back 6 times. He dies next week.

I expect one more shocking death that no one sees coming. Save for season 2, every penultimate episode of the season has had a stark, baratheon or a major character die. My money is on littlefinger fucking things up in winterfell.

This is game of thrones and everyone was having too much fun this episode joking around, plotting to come together and fight a common enemy and as we all know nothing ever goes according to plan in game of thrones.

Also should take into account that Arya has literally only known loss and death since her father was killed. Her suggesting Sansa take the heads of dissenters is crazy but in line with her way of life over the years. She still has a hit list ffs. >>
 
The first scene with Sansa and Arya was aight. The Little Finger shit towards the end? Terrible. Little Finger's only writing bullet point these last 2 seasons is "...and then he does some sneaky shit and looks all up to something."

That's Euron's baby and Jamie is getting punked. Man no clipped back to Kings Landing to do the deed then poofed back to taking care of business at Casterly Rock.

This is what's going to finally push Jamie into Queenslayer mode.

I absolutely loved that scene. The Starks have already tasted betrayal, and these motherfuckers need to be kept in line. But something worried me earlier that pretty much got reinforced in the scene in the great hall. These shit heads are already questioning their choice of Jon as their King, and making statements like they should have chosen Sansa instead. If they ever find out Jon is a legitimate Targaryen, and that Lyanna was never kidnapped but was married to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen...oh boy.

We're going to need Arya on standby that day lol.

Because her zombie she watched with her own eyes be created through whatever means Qyburn used. Plus the Mountain isn't really a zombie. Cersei isn't controlling him, and he's capable of taking order. Hell he's even able to hunt people down and smash their skull in alley ways.

Honestly if GRRM were writing, I'm sure he would be doing something better with LF. I still thinking that he would die before the final because it would show that scheming can only go so far when there is magical shit going on. Alas if only he actually wrote his books. Pretty sure the showrunners were hoping the story would have been wrapped up before any of this really.
 
That moment with Jon and Dany when they leave.

"If I don't return, at least you won't have to deal with the King in the North anymore."

"I've grown used to him."
