Yeah I'm not sure if Margery is legitimately brainwashed or just plotting something.

Very interesting plot twist with the Stockholm syndrome, although I was hoping for some major chaos to break lose, given the timing of the scene I thought the last half of the episode was going to be a huge battle/riot at King's Landing.

I dunno, I'm kinda in the let down camp.

I miss the days of wars and political maneuvering, it's been all magic and religion the last year or two, as was this whole episode.

I think you did "miss" some political maneuvering, but not in the way you think you did.

It seems pretty obvious that Margaery made a calculated decision to team up with the High Sparrow. She doesn't fall for his crap. She sees an opportunity to finally isolate Tommen from Cersei and get herself loose in the process.

We are in for a very interesting convo between Marge and Olenna sometime soon.

Incredible development on that front tonight. Must suck to hate everything.

I kind of feel this was Jaquen's plan all along. He wanted her not to kill the actress. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

He said "Don't let her suffer"

The implication being that they had previously discussed what they'd do if Arya failed them again and he promised her he would let her kill Arya. He likes Arya though so he's kinda bummed about it all.

I had the thought the whole thing was a test as well in some what. Murder for hire didn't really seem like it fit into everything we've seen so far.

It seemed like she is obviously plotting to me.

Also, they only cut your hair short if they are going to make you take the walk, pretty big leak by the high sparrow.

I tend to agree with the plotting, just because of how they showed her with Loras a few episodes ago, she seemed completely unbroken and defiant, she's smart enough to try to beat them at their own game.

Yea, I kinda wanted all along for this to be a test to see if she would actually refuse - under potential penalty of death - to kill a random merely for money. But then, there's never been any indication the Faceless Men are anything other than just some really good assassins, so that's likely just wishful thinking.

Either way, it's good to finally see some forward progress in the Arya storyline. Turns out a girl is someone after all, and she's about to start killin' again...I mean, people we actually want to see dead.

Seriously this. This season has really been delivering, imo. There is so much development happening right now. I do not get the hate.

I think the developments were overall good, I guess my disappointment comes from expecting some sort of major throwdown/resolution at King's Landing and instead we got just like more complications and setup.

Dany has been giving the same speech in various deserts for about 5 seasons now. It stopped being impressive or moving or even interesting a long time ago. There simply hasn't been enough variety with her storyline for years. It's just the same stuff over and over again. It's good stuff, but it just loses its impact.

cotton hill thanks for answering my question.

as far as last episode goes, the idea that a cripple who is passed out on a sled, a teenage girl, and a ****** trapped on mt everest could somehow escape this army is just silly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLrw-qKNLRg

the first few seasons there were great scenes like ned stark facing down jamie lanister. or tyrion standing up to joeffery. or littlefinger vs varys. or arya having those talks with tywin. there is just nothing like that now.

maybe davos/red lady/jon stark? maybe danerys and jorah? i mean last week compare littlefinger convo with sansa to this scene and there is no comparison

The way they shot the escape it's somewhat plausible they could escape, they showed them disappearing into a thick blizzard in the dark into the woods, with Hodor buying them time. So by time the army gets through they have no idea what direction they went in, so they have to fan out and cover everywhere, which is why there was just a small contingent of zombies who found them, rather than the whole army. At least that was my take.

Benjin Mother****ing Stark tho. I agree with the overall sentiments about the episode though - a whole lot of nothing happened and lots of storylines I don't care about were focused on. Even though this danaerys stuff has happened a million times now, I still got chills watching that dragon shadow swoop over the dothraki army and then her speech.

No tyrion or jon snow makes it tough to love an episode.

Amazing that this is actually the first post since the episode aired that mentions Benjen.

I know right?! I was reading posts and going wtf wtf did I watch something different to everyone else? I mean I think we all kinda sorta knew he was gonna come back at some point, but that didn't diminish the awesomeness factor much for me.

I also got fat Sam Tarley usurping his pops with some Valyrian steel.

Yes, Dany gave the same bull**** speech, but she was sitting on a legit sized dragon. It looked like it could've taken out that whole group from where it was standing.

It's going to be good to get bronn back in the mix

Marg is plotting. There is no other way she can get her brother out alive.

Pretty sure Cersei and Marg are both plotting and everyone else is just a pawn.

Remember, Tommel told Cersei 'a secret'. She had to know what he planned so the whole army shtick was her plan; she never expected a battle in the streets. And so that means she intentionally left Jamie on the hook. I wonder if she also planned that it may relieve Jamie of his duty in the King's Guard...
