The Boltons were complicit and deserved to die a traitors death but were bit players in the overall scheme. Everyone in that room knows that it was the Freys alliance with the Lannisters that caused the Red Wedding, correct? [Reply]
And for the lets pick apart reality episode nominee this week............ Varys leaving Merren, going to Dorn and then back to Merren within the time frame occuring in the series. [Reply]

Yeah just telling him what we already knew, said something about Robert will kill him if he finds out, promise me, promise me. Probably said his name is Jon. [Reply]

How did the meeting at the north know that the Red Wedding at been revenged? Where was Arya? Jon just take credit for slaughtering the Freys?
Jamie didn't seem to be happy with Cersi. Wonder if they are going to break up now all their kids are gone?
Kudos to GOT for killing off Thomen in a way we didn't see coming but still giving us the very satisfying Frey deaths at the hands of Arya Stark. :-)
I would assume Lyanna is telling Ned that Rhaegar is Jon Snow's father, and to hide that fact, because Robert Baratheon is out hunting Targaryens.
I don't know.
It puts him in an awkward position. He's the queen's brother now and she has no heir. Also he knows that she's bat shit crazy and he might have to become The Queenslayer.

No shit right, they should've just left him out of that final shot and kept him in Dorne. [Reply]

Given that Roose was the one who stabbed Robb in the heart, he wasn't exactly an innocent bystander. [Reply]

No, I didn't mean it like they were not co-conspirators, just that the Freys were the leaders of the turncoats.
Now, I see the houses were saying they were speaking to the Boltons role and retook Winterfell from them. Thats the avenging they were talking about. That makes sense. [Reply]

There were a lot of time jumps in the episode. Maybe when he is in Dorne, they are all already there, or awaiting Varys word to land. No matter to me, I think the image of the whole alliance was important enough to let a time jump be a little awkward. [Reply]

Yeah, in terms of actual timing, the wildfire in King's landing had to have happened roughly around the time of the dragons burning ships in Mereen (just prior to which Varys had left for Dorne). The action in Dorne happened between the last episode and this one (in Mereen time) while the ships were all being built, and the Dornish fleet sailed for Mereen somewhere in there as well.
It's clunky, but it's an issue of when things are on screen rather than "real" timeline issues. [Reply]

Yeah, they needed to get all the chess pieces in place to start next season. They cant be re-positioning pieces anymore. 15 episodes left. Wish they would have spread out the events over the season but I'm okay with a shit ton of stuff happening in the last episode. [Reply]
