Don't ban him. The only thing better than a new episode is the inevitable meltdown in this thread.

Think that's going be the end for Arya .. Had it been a cnut like Ramsey taking on a faceless man, you know he could win.. A Stark kid,she has got no chance.. Unless her wolf comes from somewhere ,saving her and ending up being dead itself..
Sorry about the spoiler earlier. I thought I was in the book thread! Genuine mistake, really sorry.
Probably the crappiest episode of season 6 so far. FFS when is High Sparrow gonna get his?That smug smirk at the end. Ugh, I don't know who I despise the most, him or Ramsay Bolton. I'd probably say him as Ramsay doesn't hide the fact that he is a complete moron.
Was Margaery really converted or is she playing a game?? I swear that Tommen needs to grow a pair. I haven't read the books but I just knew that was Benjen as he's been missing for a while.
Things just seem to be dragging now. I just hope the Waif doesn't get killed next episode. Think she's great!
Ramsey for me, because I really like Jonathan Pryce as an actor.
No spoilering from me this week
OK, now i'm really worried for Arya . But i'd hate to see her getting rescued by a completely new character or someone we haven't seen in the show for a while. The 'deus ex machina' plot twist with uncle Benjen was a bite meh already but i guess i can accept it on the basis that now we know the Three-Eyed Raven was very powerful and possibly able to "arrange" this kind of stuff.
Now that Arya's adventure with the the people who serve the Many Faced God is coming full circle, i really hope the writers will come up with something clever. By the way, if she isn't truly converted to their cult, how the hell did she survive from drinking the water from the fountain? Have i missed something?
I agree with those saying that it was the weakest episode of the six we have watched thus far although we had some good stuff going on in King's Landing. I might be wrong but it seems like they're setting everything up for all hell to break loose in Riverrun. By seeing the Freys again and by learning that the Crown supports the Boltons, we were being reminded that Ramsay still has the upper hand in this battle.

She's going to kill the faceless girl who has also fecked off their god or w/e by harbouring a personal hatred for Arya since day one.
Hope Arya kills that faceless girl now.
Can someone tell me what the idea behind Sam stealing the sword is? He isn't going anywhere near the white walkers is he..
I think she's going to die.. Maybe we ll see the faceless girl take over her face and wreck havoc as Arya..
He isn't going to the White Walkers yet but he will be going back eventually, and he knows that Valyrian Steel can kill them.
There's no way Arya will die, that would make her whole arc in Braavos pointless. She'll kill the waif and return to Westeros with a bag full of faces.
I love the importance religion is taking. It's a really interesting angle.
Now that she's refused to follow the path of the faceless man/many face God, they better take the story in a direction which makes all of this seem worthwhile and logical.
Surely I am not the only one who likes Ramsey? Really don't want him to die as I think the show would miss a great antagonist if he were to leave. I love the character and the actor plays him very well.
I miss Joffrey, for 1 reason those priests heads would be up on spikes by now, i hate this storyline right now as it just seems to be dragging along every week.
Ramsey is too much of a caricature of a baddie, to be a genuinely great baddie.
Not that he's a bad edition to the show.

My verdict on the last episode:
Anyway, I'd love to see that smug twat the High Sparrow get punched in the fecking throat.
shit filler episode

I've thought that for a while too but you can only have so many scheming, cunning villains like Tywin, Littlefinger, Roose and Walder Frey.
Ramsay's raw brutality might make some roll their eyes but he is needed to change the dynamic.
It definitely looks that way. I think Brienne is heading there to try and convince them to join Jon if I remember rightly? Also Jaime is headed up there to take it back and Walder Frey has the Blackfish's nephew (or son not sure which) hostage and the Blackfish is currently the one holding Riverrun.
Shit is about to go down.
Walter Frey and Jaime are on the same side though. Its the Lannisters vs the Blackfish ft Brienne.
Jamie vs Brienne vs Tormund
Yeah true. Either way shit will still go down.
Do you think she will end up taking Jaime's side at Riverrun? She clearly wants to bang him.
Don't forget that the White Walkers are trying to find a way to get past the Wall too... Anyway, Brienne has given an oath to serve and protect Sansa, so i doubt she will change sides in the last minute. But if Ramsay doesn't resist the urge to get his men out of their castle (he and the late Lord Bolton used to argue a lot about that) and marches to Riverrun, it will certainly get very interesting
I don't think he will. Judging by the letter he sent Jon in the last episode or the one before he knows Jon has the wildlings on his side so he wouldn't leave Winterfell unprotected.
Not the best of episodes that, a bit too much filler for my liking.
Bran's rapid fire visions were very interesting though, and I was glad to see the return of Benjen (even if his story sounded a bit sketchy). Also interesting to see the Freys again after so long, and things seem to be kicking off in the Riverlands with Jaime now being sent there with an army, and Brienne on her way too.
I find watching Sam and Gilly to be torturous at the best of times, so their lengthy screen time here was a big negative for me. I fast forwarded through the end of that scene, couldn't listen to anymore of it.
Disappointing the High Sparrow managed to win again seemingly with such ease, I was really hoping we might have been about to see the end of the religious fanatics (I haven't enjoyed Kings Landing at all since they've shown up) but it would appear now we'll have to suffer them for another while.
I wasn't happy with them showing more of those theatre scenes, they were dull and seemed to drag on forever in last weeks episode and they were no better here. Had hoped Arya would go through with killing the actress and continue on the path to becoming an assassin, alas no joy there. The outcome was predictable enough though and you can understand why Arya didn't want to kill her in the end. There has to be some sort of big moment coming for this storyline, more than just Arya vs the Waif surely, after the showrunners sinking so much time into that plot. We shall see I guess.
Not sure we really needed Dany closing another episode with another one of her speeches either. Here's hoping for a better episode next week anyway.

The episode isn't as bad as some are making out. Bran's short flashback scene was great, finally seeing the Mad King screaming 'burn them all' gave me chills.
Ayra's story is finally being pushed forward. I've always disliked the faith militant but with them recruiting the King, it's now interesting to see what Queen Margery is planning.
I also don't mind the Sam and Gilly's scene. Their relationship seems to be the only one in GOT which doesn't involve one person trying to manipulate the other, Sams father also delivered a great scene.
The danny scene was crap, we've seen her do this a million times by now, we need some action.
Overall decent episode.

Arya should be able to take that girl in a 1-on-1 with a bit of luck, which is what she'll have.
Nooooooo! We need more Waif! I thought you couldn't escape the Many Faced God anyway??
Another shit episode. This show has way, way too many dull episodes and dull characters.
It makes perfect sense already, actually.
She went in head-first, wanting to learn their trade but without actually knowing what comes with the job. She tried to tough it out, thinking she could go through with it, but ultimately(and fortunately) failed. The outcome? She has learned some of their skills, but is free to follow her own path and use those skills as she likes. It's the ultimate conclusion, really.
If she had "succeeded", then she would have become an empty vessel, only good for killing. What fun would that be?
That makes sense.
Should have wrapped that up in 20 minutes instead of 50.
Im going to predict that Jamie Lannister will take what remains of his Lannister forces, after battling the Blackfish and after some convincing from Brienne and hooks up with Jon Snows remnants after the battle of the bastards for the war for the dawn.
Is it me or does the High Sparrow look at lot like the Pope ?Probably the crappiest episode of season 6 so far. FFS when is High Sparrow gonna get his?

Heard the term 'trial by combat' on there tonight, my mind wandered to this....link
I guess I'm in a minority here, but I'm often wondering if the GOT would be better off without some of the "magic" stuff. It could have been a 'great medieval kingdoms rivalry' type of a show with incredible storylines just as it is now, with kings, queens, nobles and lowborns, intrigues and battles, bravery and betrayals, etc. etc. The warg stuff, The Faceless Men and the Lord of Light followers are at least interesting and intriguing and therefore are watchable, but dragons or white walkers I could certainly live without. It just seems like something out of a fairy tale for little kids and really doesn't excite me at all.
Really enjoyed the Daenerys storyline in the first series but the past 5 series have been a festering turd...great actors can sell the the clichéd inspirational Braveheart/Gladiator style speech but EC just doesn't sell it, especially given the amount of them we are subjected to.
Yeah that's confusing me. Arya can't feel anything or even refer to herself as a person but the Waif can blantantly want to kill a 'trainee' and that's fine?
I thought it was a good episode.
Arya had the best moment in her storyline since she left Westeros (almost 2 series iirc). Bran's finally got someone who can help him make use of his powers. Sam did something cool. Jamie and Cersei were brillaint (again). Daenerys was kinda boring but that's basically her thing. She didn't randomly get any extra superpowers or armies so there's that.
Tommen's turn isn't too surprising as he is pretty gullible but Margaery's is confusing. She clearly was holding her own 2 weeks ago so what's changed. If she could hold up for months, why a complete personality shift in 2 weeks?
Jamie and Cersei are now my favourite characters. Their crimes include attempted child murder (and successful child crippling), rape, assassination, kingslaying (x 2), attempted kinslaying, incest and God knows what else but they're now my favourite characters.
One question, why does Daenerys deserve the Iron Throne? She's already a queen and struggling to maintain peace and end slavery in one city, and lost the other 2 she conquered. How is unleashing hundreds of thousands of murdering raiders, enslaved killing machines, battle weary mercenaries and 3 winged weapons of mass destruction on 7 (well, 9) more kingdoms that are even more f**ked up than Mereen in order to add them to her portfolio going to help anyone?
Here's an interesting article about Dany and her real motivations if anyone's interested (spoilers up until this episode obviously): http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/05/daenerys-targaryen-villain-game-of-thrones
So who says those wanting power are really out to help anyone other than themselves. In her case all she knows is the stories of how "evil" people destroyed her family and took what is rightfully hers (the iron throne). It probably does not even occur to her that others might have a different view that is based on anything other than they are evil and she and her family are not.
