    I didn't mind the theory, but it came across to me like book readers wanting to be surprised by something new. For me, I'm happy with just the fact that I was shocked by the brutality of her death. I personally feel like it will cheapen things if it is exposed that she was a spy, but I can see why some people like the idea/still believe it.

      Sometimes, I feel as though this show is going to purposely try and surprise book readers just for the sake of surprising them with a twist that wasn't in the books...

      personally, I'd fucking hate if they did that. They've changed a few minor things and adjusted characters a little...and its made for great TV. When they start doing their own things, I fear it'll jump the shark.

      Either way...

      Finally good to see Walder Frey get out of Hogwarts and on to better things.

        Yep, I like it better in the books when Grey Wind gets to take out a few Frey soldiers before he is finally put down. He deserved to go out fighting.

        Well I guess we got a surprise either way. The repeated stabbings of her baby bump caught us all off guard, holy shit that was brutal.

          Why the fuck was the Blackfish there?!?!??! He goes to the bathroom and we don't hear from him again.

            Is it wrong to over think why Brynden Tully left the party to go to the restroom?

              Do you mean that they're implying that he had a hand in it? Because if so, then yes, that is 100% wrong.

              I don't know why they brought him, as I've said from the beginning...most likely just to give him more screen time. But my guess is the piss was to get him out of there and ostensibly back to Riverrun.

                Well shit. That's what I get for expecting a happy ending.

                  That was a happy ending. From a certain perspective.

                    Yeah I mean, we're now down to 3 in the "War of the 5 Kings". Best way to bring peace is just bump off all of your competitors.

                      Do we think we will be down to the last one standing after the finale? I didn't see anything in the preview for next week that suggested the other wedding was going down.

                          Yeah, as fun as it could be, there are too many characters that need to be introduced and I feel like it would rob them of another great moment and make the end of this season too top heavy.

                          My money is on keeping with the supernatural season ending theme with

                              One of my legitimately favorite parts of the episode was Roose's evil little head nod/glance down to his arm just before it popped off. Man, the actor they got for him is just so damn good. We need a .gif of that.

                                I think that she was referencing Jaquen Hagar, the Faceless Man.
