Might want to ask a mod to close this one then, as I don't think I'm the only one that reads updates on threads through Notifications or My Content.

That way you don't have to return to this one to let the ongoing posters know.

Sometimes the boards are too busy to allow clicking through all the forums, so going through My Profile simply streamlines the process for me, at least.

Let it go to 200 pages. That should be the limit for every one of these threads.

I think I have come to terms with Brienne having a completely made up story this season. I have given up on LSH. Hopefully Brienne at least kills stannis this season to make the made up arc worth it.

I don't think Stannis will die this season. I'm assuming Brienne will try to follow Sansa to Winterfell and then it will start snowing near the Riverlands and she will be stuck somewhere going north.

I'm almost 110% certain Stannis will not die.

By the way, 200 pages in 9 days... is that some sort of record?

What is with you and Brienne killing Stannis? You think she is going to go on a suicide mission, storm through 5000 men without getting killed, and put her sword through Stannis, to accomplish what? If Brienne ever comes across Stannis I see her more likely joining him than anything else. Like Jaime who she hated at first, overtime she will respect Stannis when he opens up to her. Stannis will have a one v one explaining why he had to kill Renly and how he wants to save the realm by killing the people who murdered the Starks. She will respect him and fight for his cause to overthrow the Boltons in the North. Why would she ever fight against that cause?

People think that her silly Renly crush takes priority over what is right....I really think book Bri ain't that stupid. But what show Brienne, the one who didn't even talk to Sansa and let Arya escape will do can be another matter entirely.

Eh, I don't recall book Brienne having any idea what she would do if she actually came across any of the girls other than maybe a vague "protect them," and that sword of her's is a curse that would prevent them from ever believing her. As for not talking to Sansa while in King's Landing, it makes sense to me that she would first want to get Jaime on her side before trying anything. Otherwise she has no allies in the capital, and why give Sansa false hope in escaping?

It seems legit and I agree with the episodes that Arya will appear in. Though there is obviously more to her storyline, it's a good prediction. I thought that Arya would become blind earlier in the season, but it works for the finale because of her crossing another name off her list. Perhaps in Arya's first appearance in Season 6 she dreams through the eyes of Nymeria and then regains her sight. There was also something in the casting calls that Joss and his terminally ill child Ghita that he brings to the House of Black of White who I believe might appear in 5.03.

The whole of the Mercy scenario will be finished in 509 though.

Also we know the "Despondent Man" will appear in a Mark Mylod ep. http://www.spotlight.com/interactive/cv/3012-8944-3497

I may be wrong, but I kinda remember the insurance man from Arya's first assignment being cast, so I think we'll see her first assassination this season.

You're all right of course. wow there is a lot to fit into Arya's story...i wonder how they will do it? Here's a revised timeline. There's also two 'street toughs' that were cast for Braavos right? and we orignally thought they would be for Sam. Since it seems he won't be going to Braavos i'm going to try and incorporate them into Arya's story:

E1 absent

E2 Arya arrives in Braavos, gets rowed in by the ship captain. She thinks on it a while and then enters the HoBaW, the kindly man asks who sent her, arya replies Jaquen H'ghar, he tells her to prove herself. Arya wanders around Braavos and comes across street toughs who pick on her. Arya kills the street toughs, when she goes back to the HoBaW the kindly man accepts her who then changes his face to Jaquen. Later on in the episode Arya is told to let go of everything she owns because she must become 'no one', she hides needle but throws everything else into the canals. Officially becomes an Acolyte.

E3 Arya meets the Waif who shows her the duties she must complete whilst in the HoBaW. She also starts training her in the Braavosi language and they play a game of lies. The kindly man tests her on her lying ability and she fails. He leads her to the hallway of Gods explaining why there are so many, there they see a 'despondent man' praying for his daughter to get well.

E4 Arya starts getting better at Braavosi language and the lying game. Arya sees the despondent man return to the HoBaW, this time with his ill daughter Ghita, she sees them drinking something from the pools and collapsing. Their bodies are sent to another room, the kindly man leads her down there and she seems that their belongings are taken and then the bodies are delivered to a 'restricted' section of the HoBaW where she is yet to be allowed to go.

E5 absent

E6 Arya gets her first assignment as Cat of the Canals. She meets Brusco and is told to sell fish, she wanders around the canals, getting to know the city. She becomes familiar with the women at a brothel down by the canals. One man tells her how to cut a purse open without the person knowing. Each time the kindly man asks her to tell him 3 things new things each day.

E7 Arya gets a lesson about poisons from the Waif/Kindly man. She is told by the kindly man that they have an assignment for her. The insurance salesmen. Arya disguised as Cat of the Canals, follows the insurance salesmen around, seeing that he bites every coin.

E8 abesnt

E9 Arya gets disguised as Ghita (ill child) on the day she executes her plan to kill the insurance salesman, the plan goes well and the insurance man is assasinated. Arya rushes back to the HoBaW and becomes Cat of the Canals again. Later Arya spots Meryn Trant and Mace Tyrell in Braavos. Arya goes against the rules of the FM and follows Meryn to the brothel by the canal, and kills him. Later that day Arya tells the kindly man 1. an insurance salesman was poisoned today 2.Mace Tyrell is in Braavos meeting with Tycho Nestoris and 3. Meryn Trant was killed by Arya Stark.

E10 . Arya drinks something and wakes up blind. Time passes and she gets to use her other senses. Her arc ends with getting her first assignment.

Still beats girl power talks with Marge and getting into stare contest with Cersei instead of talking to Sansa
