The Rat Kook Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think Sam was in the preview so we should have a bit of wall. Oh nuts I forgot about that. Edited my predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleFinger Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 They need to finish Arya's arch in Bravos this season so I expect a Cat of the Canals intro, before she kills Meryn Trant in S9 or S10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafro987daboss Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I don't know if it's better to hope for Dorne (so either Areo or Doran can save the storyline this season) or want it out so we don't have to be subjected to the nauseating script for another week!

sb.69 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 What I think the timings will be: Arya: 8-10 minutes Tyrion/Dany/Jorah: 10 minutes Cersei: 5 minutes Sansa/Theon: 5-8 minutes Ramsay/Roose: 2-5 minutes Sam: 3 minutes Jon: 20-22 minutes What I want the timings to be: [THIS IS BASED ON BOOK SPOILERS!] Arya: 5-8 minutes Tyrion/Dany/Jorah: 8 minutes Cersei: 5 minutes Sansa/Theon: 12-18 minutes Ramsay/Roose: 2-3 minutes Sam: 3 minutes Jon: 18-20 minutes Basically I want there to be a powerful interaction between Sansa and Theon, causing Theon to retreat to the godswood and face his sins. Then, end the episode with their escape over the walls of Winterfell. You'd think Jon would get the finale scene, but Tyrion/Dany didn't get it last week so it's possible. I want that escape to happen early so that we have time for some good Stannis-Theon/Brienne-Sansa/Brienne-Stannis scenes in the last 2 episodes. If there's a chance Stannis dies this season, it's now or never for a lot of this stuff. Also, seeing as how there is footage of Stannis's camp burning in trailers, and the synopsis for episode 10 reads "Stannis marches", there's a good chance Ramsay attacks in episode 9. I'd love if this attack of Ramsay's were triggered by Theon and Sansa escaping at the end of episode 8. With regards to Sansa's corkscrew she picked up last episode, it might be used to threaten Theon, or (what I want) stab Myranda in the escape. Some nice empowerment for Sansa to avoid her being totally "Jeyne Poole"d during the escape sequence itself, and it's also another affront to Ramsay, hopefully triggering a reckless pursuit in episode 9. What do you guys think? You've got too much free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't need to finish Arya's arc in Braavos this season, and there are no signs that they intend to. It's only just begun and there's still more she needs to do.

I'm off.I think whatever he gets it'll just be a quick lead-in to the stuff Beyond the Wall. They seem to move through geography logically for consecutive scenes a lot this season.

It's only just begun and there's still more she needs to do. She's interacting with one other main actor. She will encounter two glorified extras in her "Mercy" scene. They can't afford to have her in that self contained environment. You might be right, but I would bet she leaves or is about to leave Braavos at the end of the season. They're jumping through her development at a massive speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could show up sooner than expected looking like Lady SH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was initially happy that Edd went off with Jon to Hardhome for this episode, but I just got a nervous feeling in the bottom of my stomach that no good may come from that decision. Please, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're jumping through her development at a massive speed. Her story is hardly expensive, honestly... It's mostly interior shots with another regular cast member. Even by the time we reach the Mercy chapter, there aren't any particular signs that she's about to leave Braavos. She's certainly coming back into the main story at some point relatively soon, but GRRM didn't just put her with the Faceless Men for her to only stick around for a few chapters. She has a lot more to do, and I'm sure it won't be self-contained for much longer. I would be surprised if she left the Faceless Men after Mercy in the books. I would be even more surprised if she left them in the show by the end of season 5, considering that we've barely witnessed any kind of progress from her. Plus there was the casting call for someone to play a leading actress, which suggests they're going to adapt the Mercy chapter in some way next season.

I don't expect her to leave Braavos in the books for at least half of Winds if not until Dream to be honest. I just can't see them keeping her plot so off on its own for more than a season. Sam and Gilly don't appear to be headed there... So if that were the case, do you think they do one of those cliffhangers where she realizes that it's Meryn Trant at the docks and she does the "list" thing in anticipation for next season? Or she kills him. Because her list is so much smaller in the show and Trant is right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real connection to 'Mercy' - as far as I can tell - is that she's killing someone accompanying an envoy to the Iron Bank. Sam and Gilly don't appear to be headed there, you're right... But that doesn't necessarily mean Arya's story will be self-contained - there are a few other characters in Essos, after all. ;) But even if she does remain in Braavos alone for half or even most of the season - is that really such a huge problem? Dany's storyline was self-contained for literally over four seasons. With other storylines converging, Arya being isolated (if she is isolated, that is) won't really be a problem the show can't handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
