Im struggling with the Arya story. Do those people go there to die and the faceless men use them as people they can turn into??

I'm struggling to understand where she is, who are the people there, what they're talking about, why - everything.

I haven't really understood what she has been doing the past few seasons, even when she was just randomly riding around with that big hairy bloke.

She's in Braavos at the House of Black and White which is a temple to the many faced god and home to the faceless men.

Sandor Clegane (the Hound) is the Mountain's (Gregor Clegane) younger brother, he took Arya when he fled King's Landing in a hope to sell her up North. He also likes chicken.

HTH.

So why does she want revenge on her own family?

why do you think she does?

I've no idea - I've completely lost track of it. Whenever I watch the episodes I have to follow on Wikipedia at the same time to try and make sense of it all.

I would stop watching altogether if I hadn't spent so long catching up with it.

Stick to Hollyoaks Tom.

She wants to avenge her family, who have been pretty much wiped out by the Lannisters not take revenge upon her family (unless I've missed something pretty major !).

Yep this is it.

Her arc is hitting rock bottom and facing death, becoming strong, growing physically and mentally, and coming back for vengeance (hence the list of names she likes to reel off). Presumably there'll be a bit more of a twist in her end game. Or Jaqar will influence her in another direction, but the last scene with him implied he understands she doesn't want to be nobody, she just wants to be invisible to get where she wants to go. As great as Maisie Williams is, she needs to physically grow a bit if they're going to convince me she's a deadly assassin.

It's a really interesting one because hardly anyone knows she's still alive, much like Bran. But Bran's arc, controlling animals and such, seems to synch up with Danearys's failure to control dragons. And dragons are coming just as winter and the white walkers are. And we know what kills white walkers already.

But with King's Landing looking like it's going to become a total madhouse, I wonder who it is Danearys will eventually come back to fight with.

My friend came up with an interesting theory before the last episode- Joran and Tyrion make their way to Khaleesi- she hates both of them and puts them in the pits (that she's just reopened) - Jorah grows to like the imp and with the news that he's gonna die anyway, lets Tyrion kill him

I believe it more and more every day!

Maybe, I think ultimately Tyrion will end up as Khaleesi's main advisor (kind of like the kings hand in kings landing).

My mate said to me he was watching a q+a and (after the scene where the hound dies) they said put your hand up if your characters dead. A few put their hands up but apparently the actor who plays the hound hid under the table. And remember we didn't actually see the hound take his last breath as such. Could be something in it?

I think the Hounds definitely alive and we'll return next series. No way would Game of Thrones kill off a major character by just letting him quietly die on the side of a road.

It's quite a popular theory he isn't dead. Unless you see a severed or exploding head assume they aren't dead.

I'm fully expecting Syrio to rock up at some point in the house of black and white. Or his face at least.

Who's Syrio ?

the guy that taught Arya how to sword fight.

Oh yeah, he was quality.

Ramsey Bolton is a great character to watch, a total nutter. He does the worst things imaginable but is still somehow likeable. Great acting by the guy who plays him as well. Roose Bolton also pretty fascinating.

Where is Bran in this series?

I believe he's off in a tree doing weird animal stuff. I don't think he's appearing this series at all.

Brans back in Season 15

Shame that Varys seems not to be involved any more.

First rule of tv - if they die offscreen, they didn't die offscreen. I'm not a book reader but I know there's a connection between the rumours of the Hound's ongoing killing, and the body under the blanket in that dodgy doctor's laboratory.

This is genius
