Hmm I kind of like that theory
partly because that would be hilarious
The populace is still clearly with the Sparrow though, they can team up but they all fucked up in their own special ways with the whole situation.
That's the mailed fist of House Glover of Deepwood Motte.
House Glover.

Good to hear positive things, I won't be able to watch for a while. Who was the "old foe"?
Nah. Every scene was good to really great. Only one that was just good was, yeah the Iron Islands stuff.. The acting and directing carried it. Don't see any problems with that line though.
aight, thanks. Was wondering during the initial watch, if that was Greatjon Umber, which I thought the show threw away the line that he died at the RW, but also remembered the Umber's are the crossing chain banner.

Can someone please explain the Blackfish guy to me. i don't recall ever seeing him; why is he suddenly so important?

The thought came to mind, but I realized it would make no sense. Well, I guess one of his sons could bop him off.
He was Cat's uncle and one of Rob's closest commanders. He managed to not get killed at the Red Wedding by leaving to take a piss before it started.

I love Pokken!
Cat Stark's uncle. He was present in Season 3.
He's Caitlyn's uncle and was at the Red Wedding, he managed to survive by going to take a piss just as shit went down.
He's Catelyn Stark's uncle and he escaped from the red wedding as all of that went down. As you can imagine, he's pretty pissed. He's also the uncle of Edmure, the guy who they had locked up and brought out.
Cat's uncle, the guy who had to take the fire arrow shot at his brother during his funeral, when Cat's brother Edmure couldn't hit it in 3 tries.
Technically, Edmure is lord of Riverrun, but he's held captive. As it stands, Blackfish(Brynden) would be the steward of Riverrun in his stead, as there aren't any other Tully heirs around.
Blackfish also had wet shits he's enjoyed more than Walder Frey.

Make sure you're in the right thread....
Yes, I think it will be instrumental to the overall plot.

Put back up by Joffrey. There was a scene where construction was being done (also Cersei slapped him).

Technically he'd be
the Elder Brother from the Quiet Isle.
Yeah this is the one where no one posts and everyone hates the show.
Is that confirmed by leaks? Because if so... that's not kosher.
We also make stupid jokes and write Jorah/Benjen fanfic.

I hope Bran is not some master architect of Westeros. If he influences a few things sure, but the theory he's orchestrates all important events doesn't sit well with me.
It popped in my mind, "Burn them All" might be Bran dreamyelling to Dany to burn them all, as in dead/WW. Just gets the wrong Targaryan.
Also the origin story for Burall.

I'm just afraid there is too many storylines going on if they need to truly wrap this up in 17 episodes, that's less than two ''normal'' seasons. Or they just gonna drop/rush some of them and not give a fuck.

What if they end up luring the army of the dead to King's Landing and raze the city with all of the wildfire? Somebody had to stash all of it, but the Mad King got a little carried away at the end....
I don't know, I really wouldn't like it if they went too far with Bran's abilities. I think/hope his is a better tool for knowing than it is for doing.

For a moment I thought they were going to execute Margaery right then and there.
Loved that Sam manned up, even if not how I was hoping. Feels like things are coming to a head, didn't except the Freys to show up.
We need a screencap of the Mad King, that was surreal.
But they're the only two people in this world X 100

I assume she's trying to recruit one of the northern houses and they are pointing out that she a traitor who married into the Boltons. Hence the "I did what I had to to survive... I've always been a Stark"

Pretty much. Also the actor kinda gave it away in an interview.
I think Bloodraven has more to play, especially with what happened with the Mad King and setting up the events. Benjen did state that Bloodraven isn't dead.
It might not be explicit in the show, hell, even in the books, but I think Bloodraven is pulling far more strings than we realize.
The amount of Bloodraven involvement in the D&E novels is pretty staggering and requires multiple reads or just being flat out told.

Feels like a huge foreshadowing of Cersei losing that trial by combat happened today.
Kind of a slow episode. Quick thoughts:
- So Benjen is clearly taking Coldhands' role here. Which is funny after that theory got explicitly shot down for the books, they make it real for the show. Benjen feeding Bran blood has some eerie parellels to some of the book stuff where Coldhands feeds Bran what is clearly human meat, and the Jojenpaste stuff. Preparing him for Meerapaste? Also the dragon glass stuff seems like kind of a big reveal? It's not just a weapon but a vaccine?
- King's Landing is still the only place I have no idea where it's going. Margaery is definitely faking the conversion, but seems to have earnestly converted Tommen with her faking.
- Tarly scene was good, even if it does just seem to be a way to get Sam some Valyrian steel to study in Oldtown.
- They're going really slow with Arya. It's really weird to have the wait announce her plans to kill her, and then be like eh, it'll happen next episode!

The faith has brought Ramsay to King's Landing.
