The whole point of his story arc is to do the right thing, despite what others may think. "Kill the boy and let the man be born." When he came back he should have been pissed and more resolute than ever. Not wanting to go away and live out his second chance at life somewhere where it's warm.
Bran being the reason why the white walkers can cross the wall and be a threat?
I can totally see that because Bran is such a shithead and annoying character!
How about the waif being to dumb too actually kill her?
It was implied that he told her by the line she said (can't remember what she said right now) in the very next scene after they initially see each other.

That's a far cry from killing a priest and his flock for not offering to starve theirselves for you.
That group seemed more like the type of group pretending to be from the Brotherhood, like Biter and company in the books.

I foresee some good uses for this GIF.
1. Nobody likes Freys
2. If you mean during the talk that would probably have ended badly for him and his men, if you mean lay siege in general, that never seems to go well.
3/4. Some bad writing along with Freys are shit.
1) The freys are loyal to house lannister
2) riverrun is surrounded by water on three sides and has a huge moat on the 4th, it would be extremely difficult
3) that's his nephew, he was calling their bluff
4) He's still a bargaining chip
1. Because he's uncle of the king and freys are pledged to the lannisters, he's far above the freys.
2. because storming the castle would mean he'd lose thousands of men.
3. Thats not his son, its his nephew, he's not gonna give up all his men to save his nephew especially to freys who would kill him and everyone in the castle as soon as they surrender.
4. why kill your only valuable hostage?
The Ringer after show referred to them as Brotherhood Without Banners. No idea if they have any access at all to the show's production tho.
Yeah, I don't think Winds will justify it either. IIRC didn't he kill Jon because he lost a bet?
It only makes the scene worse. How many times have you seen the "hero falls in water, killer assumes hero died. hero proceeds to eventually kill the killer" trope?
It's fucking played out and boring. It's a trope for a reason: it's lazy writing.
Nope, that was Ser Patrek:
Big difference between killing a dude who doesn't matter and Jon Snow because of a bet.

Personally, I like the sound of "Bastard Brawl" better.
The heads of several houses will be there!
With or without bodies?
I have no idea. He was explicitly asked by the host if Syrio had ties to the house of black and white, supporting a popular online theory...
He immediately said "Yes" before awkwardly stuttering, backtracking and then claiming it was his ties to Braavos he was referring to. My missus and I immediately picked up on it.
Omg I don't know if I could handle that amount of fan-service lmao
Hound, Benjen, AND syrio? *feels dizzy

Cyclops is gonna have to end him before he gets there. It's the only way
Who is going to stop him?
Storm it how? They'd need to siege to get through the walls and that would take time and more Lannister lives. Jaime thought he'd try diplomacy before that.
His nephew.
It's not so much about caring, he just thinks they'll kill him anyway and that one Tully life isn't worth surrending Riverrun.
Because they don't know if he's out of uses, yet?
He's basically the one bargaining chip they have.
Why would a raven to Littlefinger get shot down, since nobody is currently at odds with the Vale? Does she have a second Brienne to send to Baelish?
The show's logic is fine.
Littlefinger knows Sansa is alive and what she is about.
A raven to the Blackfish from Sansa could be a Lannister trick or she could be their hostage. So yeah for that she needs to send someone to meet him face to face.
Raven logic is never really explained in the books. How birds are exchanged so they can find home so let's not dwell on how ravens find people and their 100% success rate unless explicitly shot down.
It is a quirk of the setting.
Also Littlefinger told her he is at Moat Cailin. She probably sends the raven there.
The only way to know who a raven is being sent to is to shot it down, Sansa's specific worry was Ramsay intercepting it, not just anyone.
I do like this explanation better, but it also has the problem of Ramsay shooting down the raven, isn't he obviously going to shot down anything that comes from the far north? I know that he can't intercept everything but the risk is there. I guess the element of surprise is not important for this specific attack? I don't know, it should be.
It would also depend on where they are and where the Raven is flying. If you're sending a Raven south from The Wall, it's going to pass through Winterfell and it's surrounding area, making it a vulnerable target. Bear Island and the Wolfswood are to the West of Winterfell. Also, she already sent Brienne. Who else is she going to send?
Ravens fly from back and forth between locations, right? Like, King's Landing has a raven that flies to Winterfell and then, when a Winterfell Maester gives it a letter, it flies back to King's Landing. I think that's how ravens work. Or am I confusing that with real life?
Definitely. I'm glad he finally found all the pieces to the Lannister set.
He can't medium roll though.
Hopefully he'll get the Mountain's Ring, then he'll be good to go.

That's how it works in TV. In real life it's a bit more complicated then that.
I thought you were posting some outrageous flashback spoilers and I was temporarily really annoyed with you.
