I still liked it.  Things took twists that I didn't expect.  What is Cercei going to do now that she can't have a trial by combat?  Who knew Arya's story line would wind up that way?  Did anyone expect Edmure to just give up the castle?  Who thought the masters were going to attack the city?

Actually, I thought it was a really good episode.  Sorry for those of you who's spoiler theories didn't pan out  :)

As for the Arya storyline, glad it's over. Assuming she'll be playing a major role from here on out...but I just can't imagine what role that entire plot played. Maybe she'll be some super assassin now, but the payoff after the episode wasn't worth that long and sometimes agonizing journey.

The twists just weren't that exciting though. No Trial By Combat ... so uh ... ok. Now she has to escape. Neat? Arya was a total letdown and now she's going home. Uh ... ok. We barely even know Edmure. Who cares. Jaime has the castle ... which was the only interesting plot addition. And the Masters meh ... who cares. We all know Dany is getting her army anyway. And she sure came out of nowhere to like ... no excitement. It was a total filler episode.

I find it odd the show keeps skipping battles though.  Starting with Stannis last season, and now Blackfish's and Arya's this week.  I feel there is something to that, but maybe not.   I think the Blackfish may have escaped with some of his men though, but we'll see.  

It was nice having Dany back so soon instead of another journey through the desert.  I'm expecting the Greyjoys to come to the rescure in episode 10 and take out the slavers and start plans to head back.    I assume next week will be entirely the battle.   

We got Bronn and Hound this week so that was fun.  Hound is always good times and I hope we stays with them.  I was happy to see Beric doing some justice on those idiots.

I feel somehow, Hound ends up wielding the sword Sam stole, not sure why lol but being a greatsword it would need a large dude to yield it or at least a strong one.  

I'm feeling like Arya killing that girl and moving on was the plan.   I'm always thinking Bran is in the head of people and pushing this whole things along and maybe has been talking to Jaqen about this the whole time.   Maybe Arya needed to realize she was a Stark, and powerful and can do something that matters, and/or she needed to learn the skills from the faceless men to carry out her revenge to push along Bran's plan.

I can't see anyway around Jamie just taking the army against the King's orders and wiping out the sparrow guys, maybe with help from the Tyrells.   I'm not really sure how this ends up playing out.

Varys leaving is sad, unless he's the one that meets with the Greyjoys and comes up with a plan.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
