Season 6, Episode 4 "Book of the Stranger" Discussion Thread

*subscribes*

 

I just realise this is the first time we are going to see Littlefinger in like..... 6episodes?

 

He's one of my favorites, too.

 

LOL, Khal Pogo or whatever his name is looks like Jason Momoa if someone squeezed his head in a vice until his eyes bulged out.

 

They all look like Wal-Mart brand Drogos.

 

Hahahaha yeah they do.

 

Classic!

 

is there any particular reason why they use the faces they chose on the banner for this season?

 

It's a portent that one or more of them will die this season.

 

Also Robb's and Oberyn's actions continue to play a role this season. We see that with the Karstarks and the Umbers allying with Ramsey and then with the sand snakes' coup.

 

Any guesses as to how our title ties into the episode?

Good looking out, Legion. I'd like to think they had a similar line of thought.

 

i figured Book lead towards the Citadel, where Sam is heading, to learn

 

So no Jon this week, eh?

 

It's a big black book that holds the secrets to the Faceless Men's telepathy trick.

 

Book of the Stranger is possibly the most obtuse title they've ever had. It can't be about Sam and the Citadel as he's going home first with Gilly.

The Stranger bit I'm aware of relating to death but the "Book of the...." I've got nothing.

 

Unless he already left the Wall, Sansa should be headed up there.

 

Perhaps we'll see or hear of a certain priest?

 

It could be Euron related. I'll be that's what it is.

 

That's what I'm thinking.

I gotta feeling this is going to be a heavy Iron Islands episode

 

I wonder how the Iron Islands figures into the larger story and why we should even care about these people anymore -will they help take the Lannisters down by invading the Westerlands?

 

Depends on how much they decided to bring in from the books. By pushing this story back so far...it does change things...but at the same time...it does open other doors.

Spoiler

maybe Theon wins the Kingsmoot and leads them against the Boltons to help the Starks...IDK

 

The Wall > Everything

It is like, goddamn, finally.
