    That was something that hasn't happened yet in the books. So no, nobody knows. This was an instance of the show spoiling the books.

    I don't think Trant is someone who would rescue anyone. Lets remember he assaulted Sansa without asking any questions.

    Double rainbow awesome. Still won't stop book readers from talking about the books here though.

    After a second viewing, there were many Unsullied scattered around the stadium, but not enough to be effective. The Harpys were initially target stabbing the Master class and not the slaves. Then in the pit, most of the Harpy's backed off when Drogon started BBQing them.

    Doesn't mean every evil b*stard has to have an angelic side somewhere else in life.

    Trant being a pedo on top of what he already is will most likely be related to how Arya kills him, not as some attempt to remind the audience that he's evil.

    I think his death will also relate to his entitlement to do heinous things and spur Arya's further hatred of the Lannisters.

    There have always been "majorly evil" characters in the show. GRRMs point seems more about entire populations and their leaders. He has said that the leader of the villainous others in stories is also a hero. He's more concerned about tolerance. Once you see a rapist, pedophile, or child killing that character is dead.

    Melisandre started the fires. She was the only person out there walking around smirking when they just sort of started spontaneously . Horses don't catch on fire unless it by supernatural means.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere that the call came from GRRM so can't really put that on the show writers.

    Trant told the madame to have another one for him tomorrow. Seems like they're setting up Arya to pose as an underage prostitute as a means to get close enough to Trant to kill him.

    I didn't get that she was smirking but I did notice that the fires started rather oddly. I thought I recall Davos saying that about 20 men did that though. I'll have to go back, and re-watch that segment.

    Feels like less people are outraged (or vocal) about Shireen's fate than Sansa's wedding night.

    I think burning a child is a tad worse than someone getting raped.

    Yeah, but unless I'm missing the discussion, seems like the rape generated a substantial more amount of controversy in the public. Been busy so I've been avoiding threads about GoT until I saw it last night.

    Ah I misunderstood your statement, true. Feminists are always far more vocal and artificially outraged, apparently none of them have childs that they don't want to see burned.

    Agreed. Remember when the Unsullied were supposed to be the cream of the crop? I kept thinking how ****ty of protection she had at such a large event. None of the unsullied noticed the hundreds of harpy masks before the attack?

    It was Ramsay's men.

    Man, conspiracy theories run rampant with this show!

    Mel was looking into the flame when the fires started and she seemed concerned.

    Daavos relayed to Stannis that reports were that about 20 men were seen.

    Stannis ordered the guards executed as they were either conspiring or sleeping.

    There's no conspiracy here folks. The reason you didn't see Ramsay's Seal Team was so they don't have to pay the actor for the episode. The showrunners expressed that they had to cut the actor budget for the season.
