I still hope he runs into his brother even if they don't end up fighting. Would love to see the Hound's reaction to that.

"Gold...their shrouds" right got it. Yeah the brother thing....saw some people mention it in this thread and I don't know where it's coming from.

Don't worry, he's sure to have a significant role to play next season. Reestablishing him in this world and tying him to the Brotherhood is enough for now. They wouldn't bring him back into the fold if there was no reason for it.

It's them speculating. Kitt gave a completely diffrent reason for not beating Ramsay to death than the producers did.

They clearly set him up for next season.
Aria and him are in the same area at this point, wouldn't be shocked if they cross paths again before the series is done (and btw he is off his list, hence why she didn't kill him)

If Daenarys is already on her way to Dorne, where does Euron and his fleet come into play? Is he just going to sail to Kings Landing and fight for Cercei?

Its interesting that Arya went straight to Walder Frey instead of reuniting with her family in Winterfell.

Looking forward to Euron offering Cersei his big..fleet next season. Whether or not he asks for her hand in marriage or Casterly Rock or something else remains to be seen, but they're natural allies given how all the other chips have fallen. Plus it would let D&D nerd out with a massive naval battle.
Sapochnik or bust.

Not sure anyone knows how it works. The last time Arya saw Jaqen in westeros he changed his face and he hadn't been near the hall of faces for quite a while I think.

We're going to get Zombie Mountain vs Grey Worm next year, aren't we? The two competing queens' representatives square off.

That whole opening scene can't be praised enough
Last year, I said Sicario's Juarez convoy scene was the most tense of 2015, how its cinematography and music perfectly coalesced to deliver moment after moment of growing tension and suspense
I'd think that whole opening Sept sequence might be 2016's. It was just wonderfully paced and edited, moving the pieces into place, the music building along with our gradual realization, as events descended into bloodshed and chaos before reaching the ultimate explosive crescendo and payoff for 2 seasons of Cersei/Sparrow maneuvering and 6 seasons of Cersei's ruthless rise

Jon + Dany in a continuation of the freaky incestual Targareyan dynasty confirmed.

Arya vs Mountain is the only fight I wanna see. She will water dance all over his slow ass!
He also killed a bunch of dudes by then so he could have taken some faces and put them in his pocket. Can't wait to see Walrya Frey next season.

Yeah I don't think its practical for faceless men to operate in Westeros and Essos if they must use faces kept in Braavos. The details of how the faces work hasn't been explain well. I thought I understood it until I saw Jaqen drink the poison and Arya revealed the many faces underneath - including her own. Now I'm at a total loss but its clear that Arya can use other faces.
Yeah, thats what I expect too. Would be awesome. Would also fit with the brotherhood probably not being ok with a zombie monster existing. Can't wait for that fight!
I would assume so. I mean, right now cersei is so outnumbered she will just get wrecked immediately. She needs to get some allies to make the battles interesting.
Jaqen was able to do it without the hall when he and Arya first meet....maybe she just knows how to now.

The season 5 episode 1 opens with a flashback of teenage cersei meeting a witch who tells her the prophecy.
Yep. It was something I don't think we've seen before in GoT and it was amazing. Possibly my favorite part of the entire series. It was necessary as well because having another event similar to the Red or Purple wedding wouldn't have had nearly the same impact anymore.

How many years have passed in the show's world since the first episode?

I wasn't expecting to see the hound again so soon, but I'm surprised it's been a few episodes since we saw Brienne. It feels like she should have been fighting in the big battle and now she is where, still in the riverlands?

Each season is a year I think
Considering how much she despised Jon and what she's thought he stood for I don't think so.
not a chance
there was a good compilation posted of all the comments characters have made about r/l/j: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xaspBsfgRg
Catelyn despised Jon, which would make no sense if she knew his origin
I am thinking a Hound/Brotherhood + Arya + Meli reunion. She is riding south and most likely will run into the brotherhood as they are of the same faith (and she found them easily before when grabbing Gendry from them) and she said she would see Arya again.
I love the characters teleporting personally. It makes the story flow better instead of things like season 5 where Varys disappeared for almost a whole season.

Pretty damn sure she didn't know. I don't think anyone did although I wouldn't be surprised if Howland Reed had his suspicions.
It's hype. It's the best ep of the season and the best finale the show has ever had, imo.

I forgot about that. She should have been back at Winterfell by then, because if it really takes that long to get back, the Tully army would have been too late.
I'm thinking she might run into the Hound again, before getting to Winterfell. Assuming they're anywhere near each other anyway.

Very disappointing and completely uncharacteristic. People are calling it a "jumping the shark" turning point.
It has a 10 on IMDB along with the previous episode sooooooooooo
One of the best episodes of the show. I thought episode 9 would be impossible to follow up but they did it.
even if she wasn't in the battle, she should have been in winterfell this episode. I guess we can write it off as her not having a horse or something

That was one hell of an episode although I do want to say that anyone who posts episode spoilers, while the episode is on or soon after, on social media should be publicly executed.

It'll be interesting to see where they're going to take Jorah's story if anywhere at all.

My wife at the end of last night's episode:
"The ladies are taking over." (with a grin)
Overall, what an amazing episode and season. The next two seasons being shorter won't even bother me if they have the care and direction much of this season (particularly the last two episodes) had.

Yeah, they needed to touch base with her again. She left the Blackfish before things went to shit but she hasn't appeared again at any locations.
Djawadi definitely stepped it up this season. My biggest complaint with him was that he stuck too close to 2 or 3 themes, but Light of the Seven is so different from anything else on the show and really set that scene apart and made it feel special. Hope he uses it again w/ Cersei later on.
Missed opportunity for "Jumping the Stark" joke.
