It wouldnt surprise me if Jamie loses at Riverrun and either dies or runs away and at the same time Cersei/Mountain lose the trial by combat and kill or whatever to Cersei and then Tommen loses it, does something stupid that allows the Sparrows to kill him and take over.

That'd tie that storyline up with a neat little bow. You're welcome Weiss and Benioff. My invoice is in the mail, think of me when you start your next show.

Considering how detailed oriented the show is, this makes complete sense.

My guess is the Starks try to take back Winterfell, fail, and then Littlefinger shows up to save the day.

Sansa accepts him, but doesn't realize Littlefinger is going to manipulate everything in his favor.

Finger Cookin · 06-09-2016, 11:48 AM

I kind of hope Sansa wrote not to Littlefinger, but to her cousin Robin. Then she and Littlefinger can try and out manipulate Robin over each other. It would show Sansa has learned to play the game, somewhat.

But yeah, presumably she wrote Littlefinger. And we know how well it goes for Starks who trust Littlefinger.

I think someone did screen grabs of the note she wrote and figured out what it said. You can easily find it with a Google search.

Either the Blackfish army or Little Finger's army will arrive to fight with Jon/Sansa to retake Winterfell. Just in time before the White Walkers hit the wall in episode 10 - The Winds of Winter.

We could see the end of the Lannister's - if Tommen dies, Cersei loses her trial by combat, Jamie comes running back to King's Landing or has to fight Brienne, and little Lansel gets his head crushed by the Mountain. That leaves Uncle Kevan left?

Can't wait to see the Hound back in action - and if he will fight his brother in Cersei's trail by combat.

I don't get how the Hound could be back to King's Landing in time to fight his brother or why he would even fight for the Sparrow?

Granted, the show has essentially made a mockery of travel times this year, which I'm okay with because it moves things along in TV land.

The show doesn't make a mockery of travel times. Just because the stories are shown in the same episode doesn't mean that the events are taking place at the same time. This has already been stated by the writers. They put events together in a show to fit an overall theme and relevance to other stories.

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

And why are you getting so worked up over a minor comment, especially when I say I have no issues with it. They are making amockery of travel times to move along stories to fit within episode times, the writers have also clearly stated this, from Bryan Cogman:

"...We realized a while ago that if we tied ourselves in knots trying to make all the “story days” line up between all the characters the momentum would suffer.

However, I simply asked a question about how the Mountain would get his revenge on the BWB and then head to Kings Landing in time.

But continue to get worked up about nothing.

I'm super pissed right now

neo45 · 06-09-2016, 02:59 PM

I don't think the Blackfish's army could get to to North, or anywhere for that matter. So yes it has to be Littlefinger coming to help

I'm just guessing that the whole Hound story happened way back timeline wise, let's say around episode 2-3 of this season.

That or a wizard did it.

Doesn't Arya have one of the brotherhood leaders on her list? Maybe this is how the Hound and her reunite - both going for revenge.

Last point I could make on this... the money bags... where would Arya get that anyway? She tossed her Hound money into the water before going into the House of Black & White.

I would have to say that the appearance of Arya cavorting around Bravos is a facade. I look forward to the result of this though and seeing what the twist really is.

rubecube · 06-09-2016, 04:11 PM

FWIW, Maisie Williams has said in the past that they've had to film some of her scenes as right-handed just because of the angle of the shot, etc.

Oysters, clams, and cockles were a big business along the harbor front.

She easily could have got the money by pickpocketing...

sureLoss · 06-09-2016, 05:08 PM

Probably started a line of credit from the Iron bank.

I thought the whole scene was a little strange. Of course at the time it didn't make sense because she hadn't been stabbed yet.

I do like how the writers drop the small clues and let us spend a week trying to predict everything. Makes the show so much more enjoyable.

I like this much better now that the show is ahead of the books and people can't post their clever "fan theories" that are really just book spoilers.
