    btw: so much for the "Only a life can pay for death" rule of the faceless god. Arya not only killed Walder Frey (Jaquin made her blind after her last assassination), but she presumably killed the hot wench to get her face.

    Also, let's not forget Nymeria needs to reunite with (and possibly save) Arya in some encounter.

    Or maybe Nymeria sneaks into Cersei's bed and poops on her hair.

    She's not a faceless man so she isn't beholden to their rules. She learned how to cut and apply faces, but (apparently) that alone doesn't mean you're a faceless man who has to follow the rules of the many-faced god.

    Especially because Gendry didn't get killed (thanks to Davos, not Melissandre).

    The King of the North is just something the North houses decided on. There was nothing to inherit as far as that title goes. Now, she should be Lady of Winterfell still.

    Yeah, no criticism of inconsistency intended. I'm just on the side of those saying it's a skill to use faces, not godly magic.

    I wonder if I'm the only one who always hears "Mini-Faced God" instead of "Many-Faced God."

    A mini faced god would be fun.

    Understandably, so much is being made of Dany's marriage prospects, but I think the Daario scene was only put in there to highlight her growth as a ruler and her relationship with Tyrion.

    If you really think about it, she'll only marry for power/political reasons. What Westerosi male actually wields that kind of influence now? Pretty much only Jon, Littlefinger and Euron.

    Euron is an ass who seeks to control her, so he's out. Jon is a strong possibility, but it feels too clean, too obvious (reminds me of the uniting of Upper and Lower Egypt). Littlefinger is pretty damn intriguing when you consider all that has transpired (Sansa, Kingindanorf, Queen's Hand Tyrion, etc.) But at the end of the day, he too wants the throne.

    In the end, I think Littlefinger and Euron will try their luck but Dany will remain unmarried.

    Tyrion is not a rightful heir. He's been sentenced to death in the name of the crown, and is guilty of kinslaying. As he tells Varys when they are in Pentos, he is no longer a lord.

    Littlefinger is a powerful man, but Robin Arryn is Lord of the Vale. He no longer has his position on the small council or his brothels that made him so rich. Without Robin Arryn, Littlefinger is nothing (I'd love to know what path he thinks leads him to the Iron Throne).

    Euron is king of some small islands that basically get crushed anytime they try to become something more.

    I'm still rooting for Jorah. He's the champion of the friend-zoned and needs to give those viewers hope.

    My interpretation differs. Little Finger witnessed an outcome he never imagined would happen (the North accepting a b*stard). He was upset and Sansa was worried about what he might do.. Leading up to that scene, Sansa even said she's done wishing for things and not appreciating what she already has. A lot of comments seem to be yearning for a Sansa/Jon schism but I'm not seeing it. I don't even think there's enough time in the series to flesh one out.

    I think she might go unmarried as well. She wants to break the wheel, right, not continue to play the same games.

    A Robyn Arryn - Daenerys Targaryen sex scene would be the most disturbing thing in Game of Thrones history.
