I think Cersei will kill the last sandsnake and possibly her mother in the next episode. The sandsnakes were a major disappointment in the tv show.
I laughed when Theon bailed on his sister lol. I have to say though that it fits his character. Just when you think he redeems himself he becomes a coward again.
Earlier people mentioned Gendry and I totally forgot about him. he hasn't been on the show in years, i wonder if they just got rid of him or if they'll bring him back. |
I'd say it was PTSD, not cowardice, but that's neither here nor there |

Oh, it was very clearly PTSD. They made that pretty clear with the editing -- they cut from Theon to a group of Euron's guys ripping someone's teeth out, back to Theon, back to some other act of horrific violence, back to Theon, and so on.
I though Alfie Allen (Theon) was absolutely tremendous in that scene btw. You could see him incrementally reverting back to Reek each time they cut back to his face. |

Did they ever reveal Littlefinger sent the assassin to kill Bran? He admitted to previously owning the dagger which he then claimed he lost to Tyrion in a bet way back in season 1.
I enjoyed the story line with Bran and the Three Eyed Raven that led to revealing the origin of the White Walkers, Hodor's past, and (R+L=J) but I hope the writers aren't planning to use Bran as some type of psychic detective to handle all their remaining big reveals. _________________ "Suck it up.

Well the initial/obvious assumption was it was Jaime/Cersei that plotted it but I believe that was ruled out when Tyrion confronted them. |

Yeah, Alfie Allen has always been fantastic. Crazy to think it's the same kid that this song was written about. lol |

In book 3 or 4, Tyrion and Jaime deduce it to Joffrey being the one to that ordered the hit on Bran. Tyrion thinks it was following the slaps he gave to Joffrey to say his condolences to Starks.
I agree numero, Bran's storyline is one of the best. We may even get the biggest reveal of them all, Tourney in Harrenhall, which really started the entire show (roberts rebellion). I think Bran will play a big role being a scout / future visionary to Jon in the war against WWs. My bet is Bran and Jon will survive GoT. Sansa will be on Iron Throne and Arya will go back into wild (Bravvos or west of Westeros). _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ |

They haven't addressed it since LF's denial that you referenced.
We know the Lannisters didn't do it from Tyrion's conversation with Jamie and Cersei at Winterfell. LF's denial always seemed weak. And we now know that he is the one who was pitting the Starks and Lannisters against each other using Liza Ayren as a pawn. If we assume it wasn't Jamie and Cersei, LF is the most likely suspect, as it was another step in getting the Starks to go to war with the Lannisters, which is what he was trying to accomplish.
Maybe Arya and Sansa (through Bran possibly) find out that he was responsible for this (and/or for betraying Ned), and then Arya takes him out with his own dagger ? I would love that. |

When the Night King touched Bran's arm during his vision of the White Walkers and army of the dead it cancelled the spells protecting the cave of the Three Eyed Raven. The Wall is also supposed to be protected by spells so does Bran being inside the Wall mean the White Walkers can just pass through it now? _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby.

That's more of a book theory than a show theory. They haven't really brought up the Wall spells in the show. So I think the WWs will find another way to bring the wall down in the show. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

I usually watch GoT with friends, some of whom are big time GoT nerds. I heard an interesting tidbit re: Wall. Apparently, there was a line cut out from the fire visions Hound spoke of in ep1. The line was "waves will be frozen" or something like it. So it could be that WWs don't go over the wall at all but go around it by freezing the waters by Eastwatch. Interesting theory.
Shout out to GoT nerds lol. I've read the books too but these guys are on another level. The theories, storylines, family lineage stuff is crazy. Imo GoT nerds have surpassed star war nerds. Not in sheer # of fans but in depth and breadth. Impressive. _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ |

When Benjen Stark rescued Bran and Meera last season he told them he couldn't go with them [inside the wall] because of magic (or maybe he said spells). _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |
