Anyone else getting irritated by spoilers all over the Internet? For example, I like time magazine on Facebook, and they sometimes post clickbait game of thrones headlines giving away future episodes ("speculation" of course). Also, it seems like the directors et al are much more willing to give away info. It's probably due to the show's popularity, but I really feel like it's distracting from the experience and what drew me to game of thrones in the first place.
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Yeah i was hoping for John to go badass "man on fire" so to speak and F things up.
Time magazine? You're not allowed to use outside info. @Eboue
While he has dealt with Stannis, Stannis pretty much had his back from the start, facing these lords and ladies of the North he is on unfamiliar ground, trying to claim the name Stark to use to rally people to the Stark Banner. So I can understand some of his uncertainty
Just had a bizarre thought process.
Like how Hodor meant Hold The Door, can The Waif be a play on words on Walder Fray ? I know it is incredibly far fetched but I recall many people mentioning her reaction when Arya mentioned Fray's name on her list. These people love repeating the same trick twice. Daney's resurgence done twice, Arya's training done twice, so maybe this done twice ?
it would tie in neatly with the dual personality theory.
I read about that. Nearly impossible to avoid it as well since so many journals are backing it with credence. But that is some high level shit, I doubt the show is capable of such layers of complexity. It's either the Jaqen is Arya plot or Arya is arya plot for me. I'd prefer it to be the first, second is just incredibly illogical.
Was the name Waif ever even mentioned in the show? I usually just call her Plain Jane.
Probably not. I don't really recall tbh. But then again Arya doesn't go by Arya either. A girl has no name and all that.
Ive never seen here called the Waif apart from in here
I smell a book reader. Find who said it first and ban their ass
I definitely think the Arya that was stabbed wasn't actually Arya at all but is Jaqen H'ghar. I say this because I recently I read or watched something where Maisie Williams said she had to learn to do things with her left hand as Arya was in the
, but if you watch the scenes where she haggles with the bags of coins with the shipmaster bloke and the scenes where she's holding her stomach she's usuing her right hand all the time. Could be an oversight but could also be a clue.
I also like the Waif and Arya being two sides of the same coin Tyler Durden theory though.

Its used all over the internet to describe her. Probably did come from the book, but there's not a lot else to call her.
A girl shall never talk about the Many-Faced God
We haven't seen the Dornish feckheads in ages. Odds of them appearing to ruin what's looking like a brilliant end to the season?
Very high
Have a feeling it will be KL. Though would be great if they go after Cersei and get squashed by the mountain.
All the episodes have been shorter than normal as well. There's a theory going round that the Dorne scenes have been cut once they somewhat tied up the story.
Right I noticed a poster comment on a youtube video that said that the face the waif used to stab Arya was the exact same one that Arya first touches in Season 5 when Jaqen shows her all those faces. I went back and checked that scene and the similarities are uncanny (Then again Old people can look alike). The Waif (or whatever you like to call her) wasn't in that scene, but surely Arya must have known it was a face then, when she approached her at the bridge. She couldn't have been that stupid.
Conclusion: Jaqen is Arya. #JusticeForArya

Read an interesting theory/speculation about Cersei and Jaime;
http://www.thegrumpyfish.com/this-fan-theory-about-cersei-and-jaime-seems-very-plausible-right-now/
Essentially that Cersei will try to blow up King's Landing with wildfire and Jaime will be forced to kill her - much like he did with the Mad King.
The reasoning is in the link above but in Bran's visions we see wildfire being used and exploding (in what looks to be underneath KL). This was sequenced with the Mad King and his 'burn them all' moments but in fact he never actually got round to using the wildfire, therefore it is feasible that this event (the wildfire explosion) is in fact something that has not yet happened.
If we are to buy into Maggie's prophecy to Cersei, Tommen is doomed and likely to die soon. At that point (and especially if she loses the presumably upcoming trial by combat) you really wouldnt bet against her to go completely off the hinges.

That combined with Olenna's "You're surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. Are you going to kill them all by yourself?" certainly seems to be foreshadowing a wildfire inferno in King's Landing when Cersei goes off the rails.
The faceless men thing needs to go, it's obvious arya is staying around so let her training be over with and let her go back to where her enemies/friends are. it's getting to the stage where im half expecting jaqen to rip off his face and reveal he has been ned stark all along
Coming down the homestretch now. This week will be the 8th episode of the season. Last season, the 8th episode (Hardhome) was easily the best episode of a mostly underwhelming 5th season. Typically, the 9th episode has been the standout episode of prior seasons. Exciting times! Between GoT, the Euros, and Copa America, I've been logging some serious couch hours.
Ha ha think that might have been me? Sorry!
But then I am her biggest, if not only fan on here!
(Haven't read the books by the way)
Didn't she say something about burning the city to the ground for her family? The show likes to add foreshadowing like that when it can.
IIRC I think that may have been a conversation with Tywin when she told him about her and Jaime's relationship
I've got to talk some GoT to get my mind off this tragedy in my nation. This is episode 8, and they've been setting a lot of things up. And the more I think of it...
Cercie might be the one to go down this episode. Something big should happen even before the Starks get enough of an army to march on the lunatic in Winterfell. She's surely about to lose it, and as I said before Marge is playing the long game to set up Cercie's fall.
And Arya will make her escape. I've no clue how, but she will.

For mysterious reasons beyond comprehension, I think Arya's old 'dancing master' will return. Whether it turns out that he is the same person as Jaqen (as has been theorised) or something else I have no idea, mind.

How are people still not understanding the spoiler rule.

It would have been hilarious in a terribly way if when Arya jumps of that bridge after getting stabbed she lands in a boat, and it's Gendry staring at her.
It's leaked, for what it's worth.
Oh, kickass, 4,1gb version been available for an hour already.
Feck sake, going dark for the next hour or so.
Is GoT the most leaked show ever?
