I hope they don't go any farther than what happened tonight with that. ^^

 

[dude stannis]

I think Umber was clearly setting up for a face turn.

Same here.

Spoiler

I don't see how that would be useful. And I certainly don't want them to mess with different timelines or something like that.

Perhaps it's only to show how powerful he can be.

 

[Reek]

its all a bit too 'The Flash' 'BttF' to even worry about it happening... [blackout]I think that might have been a lesson to bran that he can't screw with the past like that... [/blackout]

I believe it wouldn't have been included unless it was pretty important. That's what makes me so intrigued. Why show it if it's never going to happen again or be of some use? [BLACKOUT]I just can't see how it would affect the present/future and how it'd be useful[/BLACKOUT]

Yes, tve way Umber acts, ir feels like he's playing Ramsay.

Where did Qyburn say those candied plums were from?

 

[TheVileOne]

The north does not remember.

It's clearly not a ruse.

Spoiler

Umbers side with Ramsay. Rickon gets shot with an arrow when Jon Snow rides to Winterfell.

What happens between now and then is up in the air... the ruse could have failed.

Maybe its Smalljon that is (spoilers from future ep) [BLACKOUT]the flayed man [/BLACKOUT]

 

[rashad]

Wait, so Bran

Spoiler

is able to communicate through his visions? And through time?

That really intrigued me.

Could be foreshadowing for when the Night's King grabs Bran's arm. That one shot from the trailers.

 

[Reek]

Spoilers regarding the leaks from episode 9 etc etc... fair warning

[BLACKOUT]So if we know there is a flayed man and a flayed 'child'... and assuming the ep 9 death of rickon (by arrows) is true... Who are the flayed people? Its obviously not Tormund now that we know hes in the battle for sure and not a precursor... IF the Umbers are tricking Ramsay...and they get caught... it could be Smalljon and the 'child' could be Osha who was simply mistakenly labeled a child by the leaker.????? [/BLACKOUT]

Spoiler

If this is a ruse, it's the dumbest ruse imaginable. He gave them ****ing Shaggy Dog's head on a hook. Look at Rickon's reaction. This is not a ruse.

You don't give Rickon and his guardian Osha to the most sadistic **** in all of Westeros as a ****ing ruse considering what he does to people. Umber already knows that Ramsay killed his father and butchered his stepmother and half-brother and fed them to dogs.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Jon didn't leave castle black lol... you think he's just going to walk out the door without a horse or any wildlings? nah.. hes sticking around until he figures out what hes going to do about the boltons... hes been thinking about that since the premiere of episode 5.

also.. that ******** with [blackout] shaggydog[/blackout] was pathetic... I'm tired of them being wasted... Ghost better be a ****ing monster of awesome...

Ezio... spoilers man... it hasn't aired everywhere.

True.

*most of the starks are dead or in a bad situation*

"They caught a break with Jon!"

Lol that just made me laugh

Hey, don't stab the messager.

im not saying its not stupid... im just talking hypothetically... IF it is a ruse...

and yes it is stupid as ****.

 

[Reek]

True.


Hey, don't stab the messager.

not stabbing, i thought it was hilarious how that is absolutely the only break they've gotten...

its so bad for them lol their ONE break only comes after he's stabbed to death

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I really hope [blackout]Jon and Sansa[/blackout] reunite next week. The latter desperately needs a win.

Spoiler

I need this so bad. The thing I have always wanted was to see on the page or on the show is for Sansa to show Jon some affection. To treat him like family.

 

[Reek]

It's funny the first reunion we get (more than likely) are [blackout]Sansa and Jon[/blackout] of all people.

ever since the moment in season one where Jon gave Arya her sword, thats been the one reunion I've longed for.

 

[TheVileOne]

If the Starks ever reunited would it even be joyous after everything that's happened? I kind of have a feeling it wouldn't.

Just the way everything's been setup, I honestly don't know how they can wrap everything up with just 13 more episodes after this season. Seems like they need at least four more seasons.

Well, he did get a sponge bath from Mel. So that is two breaks. It also explains why he woke up the way he did.

Jon and Arya is the big one. No doubt. Then Jon and Bran and Arya and Sansa. But the oddity has always been Jon and Sansa. Which is why I want to see it so.

Yes, it will be joyous. Because damnit, the original title for the final book was A Time for Wolves. It will be glorious!!!!

This post totally needed an Inception horn.

 

[TheFuture]

Umber's disdain for Rambo is plain to see and it's clear that he held Roose in similar disdain for his oath breaking, so his solution to killing the wildlings is......breaking his own oath? Christ.

On a positive note, loved the castle black scenes, the tower of joy and the speed of Arya's arc. It's curious that Ned was clearly trying to avoid conflict while Dayne remained resolute. Why would Dayne be so afraid of engaging Ned on the topic of his own sister? What does he think Ned would do to his own sister? Regardless of possibly giving birth to a Targaryen

Potentially kill the heir.

 

[Reek]

So next ep we get to move forward with "Jorah and D Money's Amazing Adventures"...

 

[TheFuture]

But it's his sister, and his nephew and blood.

He refers to Ned by his title so he knows who Ned is, and thus must be familiar with his reputation as being honourable. Where's the honour in kinslaying?

I know this is how the book played it as well so I'm not being critical, I'm just trying to understand.
