Brienne/Pod are going replace Mance/Spearwives as Sansa's rescue party in Winterfell.

He killed Syrio.

I don't see Breienne & Pod as the type of people that would lurk around a castle and kill people. If anything I see them as people willing to find Catelyn's children and protect them, and Rickon is still out there...
how can he be Daario and Jaqen if he's already Euron and Benjen?

Her promise to Catelyn was for her daughters.
Plus in the show, Rickon is safe at Last Hearth

Unlike BookBrienne, ShowBrienne doesn't really have a problem killing people. Plus their main goal is to get Sansa out of Winterfell, killing other people could be just cut from the show.

What exactly is Petyrs plan here. Brienne makes a big scene in the tavern and outs Sansa. Does Petyr kill everyone in the tavern too?
It's like the show doesn't give a fuck that Sansa is wanted for regicide.
Nor being logical with Littlefinger.
Come on now, we both know that Daario and Euron are the same person.

Soooo has the Iron Islands plot been entirely axed too?

How is he not like "woman, I've got this figured OUT. RELAX."
Yeah it seems that way. We'll be lucky if we even get a mention of Balon falling off the bridge to his death.
Balon's been swaying on that rickety bridge for years now.
Post-credits scene after the last season's final episode will show Balon having a blast while playing cyvasse with Asha.

Well what's Cersei going to do about it? She's too fixated on Tyrion, Margery and the Sparrows, to care and Petyr has the full backing of the Vale to protect her. I think she's fine from the Lannister clutches for the time being.

Which is wierd given that terrible theon rescue scene
what's going to happen with the Prince Bland McBland Martell plot, anyway? How are we going to get "Vengeance. Justice. Fire and Blood" without him? I hope D&D have a nice plot replacement for that, 'cause that is one of my favorite moments in the entire series.
That's a given, I'm just wondering if Oldtown is completely gone.
Ooh, ooh. I got something:
BALON: "...fucking dogs?"
ASHA: "Father, would you like to take a nice stroll to the Bloody Keep? It's just over the rickety bridge."

Which is one key theme of the series. Ned, Robb, Brienne. Uh oh.
Its funny how the names get added on and off though.
Like at one point Beric and the red woman were on there, and now they are off along with illyn payne.
Either don't put them on or don't take them off. Arya in the books did not play around with that list it was til death do us part
Wow that was a pretty wildly divergent episode. I'm still wrapping my mind around it. All the stuff with Jon was great. I'm really excited for more of his storyline this season. The note from Lyanna Mormont was so good. The election was a little rushed, but I did love Sam's speech and can't wait to see Jon as the Lord Commander.
ugh, one of the low points of the series. It only lacked Yakety Sax to plunge it into new, uncharted depths of terribleness.
Considering she has men bringing the heads of dwarfs to her due to the bounty on Tyrion, I wouldn't take that chance...

That one scene made me scared for the series. If that's what happens when they go off on their own, god help us all.

Yep sigh.

If Cersei doesn't care wouldn't that make going after Brienne dumb in the first place? What is Brienne going to do? Try to take down Petyrs entire entourage? Who is she going to tell? Who would believe her?

Arya getting turned down at the door reminded me of fight Club.
"You're too old fat man. Get the fuck off my porch."
"You're too old fat man. Get the fuck off my porch."
She could ride to the wall and tell Stannis (or Jon) that the real Sansa Stark is at Winterfell (if that is where they're going). That'd make more sense than her trying a solo rescue mission (Pod doesn't count).

Who's she gonna disguise as? Everyone knows her by sight.
Just to save some of the budget towards that Victarion standalone movie.

Not everyone, LF does but rumors are he goes to KL. Sansa presumably won't say anything.
If anyone even knows her in the North, they'll be looking for a big masculine woman. She'll be coming in as a manly man!
Time for Podrick to become a spy/minstrel.

Pod will be the ghost of Winterfell.

"The House of Black and White" was better, and a lot more coherent, than "The Wars to Come" - every scene felt more substantial than the ones in last week's episode.
Random thoughts:
The Lord Commander election was lame, but the entire Night's Watch/Wall section of the story has been bungled so badly, since at least half way though season two, that I honestly can't muster any shits to give in regards to how things do or don't play out. I think that that side of the story is beyond recovery, at this point.
Braavos looked great, as did The House of Black and White. Also, I thought the Water Gardens were nice and lush.
Dany's dragons look kind of chintzy this year. I didn't feel that way about them last season, but something looks off this time around. Maybe it's because they're bigger? At any rate, HBO needs to pump more cash into their VFX house.
I'm on board with the Arianne = Ellaria change - it makes sense to condense some of those characters for the show. Kind of indifferent on Doran though. He didn't really leave an impression one way or another.
I didn't like the Jaqen reveal. It felt too fanservice-y. I wouldn't mind having Jaqen cross paths with Arya eventually, but I don't like that he showed up straight away. I would have liked to see more of Arya on her own, without any familiar faces to reassure her down her new path.
