I was laying there thinking poor Meera dragging Bran away on his own. it's only a matter of time before they catch up to them. What's going to happen to Bran and Meera - and is there anywhere on the internet who will tell me what happens next so I can stop stressing out about it? (lol)
The books haven't gone this far, but there is a character in the books who has not been introduced in the show who I think may save them. I hope anyway. I'm stressed about it too.
+1. As a book reader, I'm hoping this too. He seems to important of a magical character to write off the show.
Me too! And maybe that's why they keep showing Bran visiting Ned and Benjen as kids?
And I hope that Brienne going south to Riverrun gives them a chance to pick back up her story in the books, LSH, her running off with Jaime somewhere, etc. One of the most disappointing things about the show's season 5 and 6 for me is the loss of Jaime's growth and redemption as he realizes how Cersei is not the "other half" he always believed she was.
But I really hate that Summer died. I was hoping that the Stark kids who take after the Starks get to keep their wolves- Jon, Bran, Arya. But maybe Bran will end up with a dragon familiar? He will never walk again, but he will fly... Did Ghost leave Castle Black with Jon? I didn't notice. And I keep hoping that Arya will reunite with Nymeria when she returns to Westeros to avenge her family and cross names off her list!
The direwolves are victims of budgeting issues. In the first season, the wolves were puppies and were played by real dogs. (The actress who played Sansa adopted hers.) After the first season, they were CGI. To keep the budget down, HBO has kept the onscreen presence of the direwolves to a minimum. I am sure the writers have instructions to get rid of as many wolves as possible.

Please don't let Sansa be pregnant.

Oh wow. Didn't think about that, I guess she could be. But I do think that she was sewing the cloak that she gave Jon.
But he said "you sewed yourself a new dress" after she handed the cloak to him.

Did you notice that Lady Crane (the woman Arya is supposed to kill) is playing Cersei Lannister in the play? Cersei is one of the only people left on Arya's list, I wonder if its a coincidence.
I think it was on purpose. But I also think that that scene was here to force Arya to confront that she is not no one yet.
I thought it was a set up, too. And I was disappointed that she was so chatty about it, as if she were gossiping with a coworker.
I don't think she was gossiping. She was hesitating about killing someone who didn't seem obviously "evil".

It's very much equal opportunity violence... they share it with the men.
I felt this way too the first season, and almost stopped watching, but I've found that it lessens as the seasons go on.

Just an idea. What if Bran IS the old man in the tree? If he can't walk and ends up laying down in the grass somewhere, hidden and roots grow around him and he just worgs into things. That in the moment where the tree met him time folded to meet, and the white walker touching him and putting a mark on him allowed the crossover from one world/place in time to the next.
Mind.blown.
How were they worging into specifically Bran and Ned Stark's last so much anyway?
Also - what do you think of Arya's storyline? Her first scene she was fighting and Jon Snow gave her the sword. What if she leaves the faceless gods to fight for her family after all?
Except they say who the Three Eyed Raven is--Brynden Rivers, a bastard half-Targaryan. He was once Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and went out ranging and never returned.
I do think there are two possibilities concerning the past, present and future. One is that the Raven went back in time and was whispering things to the Mad King, effectively making him mad and causing all of these events to be set in motion. Or, that Bran goes back and does this, causing all of the events to be set in motion.

And to decide if she will be no one, or die. Either she decides to be herself, or she takes the risk of trying again and failing and just being a face on the wall.
So maybe
Choose A girl has no name = trade in her list to kill an innocent person playing cersei and become a faceless god
Choose Arya = keep her list, kill the real cersei, use super fighting techniques to kick asphalt in the wars to come for the Starks

I was also glad to see Jorah and Dany reconciled. He's going to find a way to get better now that he's properly motivated. I remember Shereen was somehow cured of it, but can't remember how.
Shereen told Davos that her father summoned every maester he could find and they cured her. She didn't say how.
It's not deadly in children according to convention, but both the wildlings and Melisandre were suspicious of it.

Oh wow, totally missed that! Very introspective. I think it might have a symbolic meaning. I need to ruminate on that one.

Didn't Sam give them some dragon glass when he ran into them and they said they were going north of the wall? Meera shattered him with her spear, the only explanation is that the spear head was dragon glass.
Another possibility is that the weapon came from the Children of the Forest, they obviously had access to dragon glass, since that is what they used to create the white walkers in the first place.
I assume the spear had dragon glass. Though she seemed surprised by what happened, so maybe there's more to it, especially given the L+R=J+M theory.
