I honestly thought she was trying to trick Tommen and didn't actually believe what she was saying. I am left scratching my head as well...
But then why is Tommen still acting in line with the Faith after he has them both to safety? Assuming Loras is also now safe with them.

Is it written that all kids in TV shows be annoying. Geoffrey never annoyed me because he was predictable.

Why lie to Tommen? I would think she has more influence on him than the High Sparrow.

Damnit I was just about to post this! It's a split second right after Ned says "where's my sister" and yep looks like a dead sister to me.

I don't think taking out zombies count lol. Especially if any of the Night King warging theories come true.
Can she take that chance?
Cause Tommen is an easily manipulated dum dum. Once she plays this card she has to go along with it.

It seemed like she was taking a chance in front of the sept. Looked generally surprised at the army come to rescue her.

I dunno, seems like an extraordinarily stupid gambit to run. Yay I'm out of prison boo I've irrevocably turned over the power in Westeros to the church.
I guess my question is why does he need to be faithful to the church after they are all out of danger from them? If it was a trick to get him out, then why keep up the charade after you have accomplished the goal, unless there is a longer game being played that isn't obvious to me.

I'd like to see that, but unless howland reed jumps out he woodwork with the dagger in the back, I don't know if Arya can take the Waif in a fair one.
They'll cure each other by having sex.

I expected Sam o be toughened up emotionally a little bit from all the shit he went through at the watch, and stand up to his dad a little.
No she did a cold read on Tommen
"The High Sparrow isn't what we expected" non committal statement
Tommen tells her he loves the HS so Marge plays along.
Because the population will riot otherwise.

I don't want to see the greyscale penis in that scene.
Nothing in the episode suggested that Loras was also released.

Taking the family sword seems like a pretty good way of giving him the finger without directly exposing himself. Not yet anyway.
She wants to get out of jail. Converting to the faith playing the high sparrow. Then once out she can get revenge. Tomens actions would be the same if he knew it was a rude or not so there is no point spilling the plan just in case someone hears

I love Pokken!
Is it just me or does the Mad King looks a lot like Theoden from LOTR?

This whole kerfuffle with the faith annoyed me. How could they not know that the King was with the High Sparrow?

What's his plan though? I'm sure Arya will kill the Waif and Jaqen will be cool with it. But then what? Was that the last scene we'll ever see of Jaqen? Or is he going to take over his Oldtown plot whenever Sam gets there?

He might show up in Oldtown, but honestly, so long as he gets a face, I don't think he'll care much more about Arya. At least, he won't be out to kill her.
He looks exactly how I imagined him, but if they show that scene, it will be very stupid.

so basically Margaery just doomed the kingdom just to get out of jail
...and if she didn't do that KL would have erupted with riots thanks to the Tyrell's attempt to free her and Loras
lmao

Yeah, I agree. He pretty much implied as much this episode. When the Waif told him about Arya, he was like "well whatever" and only agreed to let the Waif kill Arya after she demanded.
No one's mentioned it yet, I'm surprised...
So the flashback to the Mad King is totally foreshadowing to Bran driving him mad, right? I mean, it's been speculated about for the past week or so but this seems like a pretty clear confirmation or at least hint towards that. I thought they'd keep that one in the chamber for later, lol.

She'll probably kill Tommen, make it look like the Sparrows did it then turn everyone against the faith, just guessing.
I'd say it's a very, very good bet.

I think Margaery is playing the long game, they wouldn't have had the Loras scene if she was brainwashed. Even the choise of words when she meets Tommen sound like she was probing if he was againt the Sparrow.
I think she will team up with Cersei now that Olenna has.
Do you mind explaining this? When were the Brotherhood without Banners mentioned?
That they helped the Blackfish get back Riverrun in the Frey meeting with his sons.

Black Walder mentioned them rousing up the commong folk.
Walder Frey scene. You should pay attention.

What theory is this? And why would Bran drive him mad? Mental illness had been a fairly common thing in the line of Targaeryens, so why look to the supernatural?

when Frey's men were explaining why they lost river run
Strange, I don't remember that part. I'll have to watch the episode again. Thanks!
Could have been Bloodraven (and is why he warns Bran not to do it via the Hodor example.)
Bran is looking into the past.
Meera/Benjen shouts "Burn them all!" referring to wights/white walkers etc.
The king hears it and goes mad.
Jamie thinks the king means to burn the people in Kings Landing.
The rest is history.
This is purely speculative.

just started it.
This is one of the best "previously ons" I've seen in the series (I love these bits on HBO series - Deadwoods were the very best, with Carnivale very close).
That last little "Hodor..." after it faded to black.
:*(
Edit:
Oh shit, Bran is reading a Game of Thrones summary on wikipedia. Dragons, ned's dead, red wedding...
