kinda thought the sparrow was gonna make a move on margery
gramma tyrell telling off cersei was great, so was blackfish telling jamie. mormont girl's scene was good too
arya got the knife to the gut, stark family special. someone important in the show needs to die (I'm sure she won't) cuz it's been a while

Not thinking clearly right now; what was that note margaery gave her grammers, was that a rose? As in the house sigil of the Tyrell's as in "I'm playing the sparrow and still loyal to house tyrell"?
Cleganebowl is only fitting, it was foreshadowed since season one and hammered in all through the books (and show) that Sandor and Gregor are mortal enemies and are going to fight to the death. It's been built up this entire time and it's happening and i love it. The single thing that motivates the hound to continue living is his hatred of Gregor, and wanting to kill him for holding his face in the fire as a child, for stealing the love of his parents and his childhood. He is the embodiment of ultimate hate and is retribution personified in the flesh. It's not "fan service" to bring him back dorks, he came back in the books even though GRRM can never just plainly say it he always has to write sone complex 30 page riddle with the most vague clues possible, but he was resurrected and became a man of the faith (glad they chose to say he was brought back from near death, too many resurrections cheapens dearh. although the book was so muddled up maybe that's what happened too but who the fuck really knows you got to read sone vague clue then waut ten years and read another 700 pages to figure shit out). I only hope his real life actor lack of physical fitness and sized (compared to the worlds largest strongman at least) doesn't detract from probably the biggest showdown we've yet to see. It's been foreshadowed for 4,000+ pages and 6 seasons, enjoy the payoff, both from the character perspective which is enjoyable itself, and the philosophical / religious perspective ie the mountain receiving his negative karma for his war atrocities and "sins". Or maybe not, this show doesn't follow traditional tropes maybe the mountain will prevail, in a victory for moral and existential nihilism. Anyway don't be a negative jabroni

“Ser? My lady?” said Podrick. “Is a broken man an outlaw?” “More or less,” Brienne answered. Septon Meribald disagreed. “More less than more. There are many sorts of outlaws, just as there are many sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea eagle both have wings, but they are not the same. The singers love to sing of good men forced to go outside the law to fight some wicked lord, but most outlaws are more like this ravening Hound than they are the lightning lord. They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been more than a mile from the house where they were born until the day some lord came round to take them off to war. Poorly shod and poorly clad, they march away beneath his banners, ofttimes with no better arms than a sickle or a sharpened hoe, or a maul they made themselves by lashing a stone to a stick with strips of hide. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They’ve heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know.
“Then they get a taste of battle.
“For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe.
“They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that’s still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from the marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water.
“If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world…
“And the man breaks.
“He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them…but he should pity them as well.”
When Meribald was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Brienne could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Dog panting softly as he loped along beside the septon and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, “How old were you when they marched you off to war?”
“Why, no older than your boy,” Meribald replied. “Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Willam said I could be his squire, though Will was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he’d stolen from the inn. He died upon the Stepstones, and never struck a blow. It was fever did for him, and for my brother Robin. Owen died from a mace that split his head apart, and his friend Jon Pox was hanged for rape.”
“The War of the Ninepenny Kings?” asked Hyle Hunt.
“So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was.”

Yeah it'd be pretty retarded to just waste Arya for no reason. Plus she's GRRM's wife's favorite character. Lot of theories out there that Arya was actually Jaqen based on shit that didn't make sense, like all the money the hair the way she walked the flaunting her money out and about. The Waif basically disobeyed his orders by twisting the knife in her gut and making her drown, the complete opposite of don't let her suffer.
I think she probably just led the waif out into the open and faked the stabbing somehow

I must have missed it, but what makes everyone think this Clegane Bowl is going to happen? Didnt that group get killed by some randoms? I was confused by that.
The Lanister's got hella shit on this episode...bomedy. Blackfish did not disappoint...such a boss.
Was really irritated and confused by Arya's scene this week. Last week it made it look like she was gonna ninja around and slice up the Waif...instead she gets blindsided like a dummy and gets shanked in the gut. That was retarded AF.
The Queen of the Bears or whatever the fuck that was...slap that little sassy ho. LOL @ you can have....62 men. Snow was like "lolwut in the actual fuck". Priceless. They got 62 dudes and a gang of wildlings that no one wants to fight for. Good luck, bruh. Bolton dont play.

Just the fact that Hound is confirmed as alive is all the proof required. The even skipped the opening credits just to show the hype!
Jamie pimp slapping the Frey man awesome though. Worthless Freys.
I was expecting like 500 men or something and thinking that's way too little but 62? lol. Sansa definitely wrote a letter to Littlefinger though. He will have enough men. The problem of course is he's Littlefinger.

I can't really see how the Hound is going to make it to King's Landing for the trial by combat either. Maybe he'll slaughter all those dudes then go to the sparrow for forgiveness or atonement?
As far as Arya's scene, yeah her actions were pretty stupid. A girl is not that retarded though... there's no possible way a girl would have been caught lacking without her Needle.
Sure, but how loyal are Bolton's men? If they see a fucking Giant outside of the Walls and there's an actual stark there with some northmen he rallied, are they going to be able to tell he's bluffing and they can hold him out? Or are they going to backstab that fuck? Weren't most of those men bought from Stannis? I doubt they truly give a shit about Bolton and probably realize he's a twisted degenerate fuck, and would be willing to take him out. Plus We still don't know what the Karstarks have planned. They could be ready at any moment to rally behind a Stark

Only House Danny Glover so far, yeah? They only met two houses and got one, sent ravens to others.
Even so, the whole Wildings thing is a big problem. These are enemies of the North for thousands of years. So to suddenly have bastard Jon Snow show up, say we got to fight a huge Bolton army with my Wilding army surely sounds like pure madness. Especially considering the losses the North has suffered fighting for Rob Stark. House Glover was not really wrong, they have no clue about the bigger picture.
Littlefinger is the key in all this. Surely that's who Sansa wrote after arguing with Jon.
