Also, valerian swords. There's the one Sam took, Brianne's, Mormont/John's... And the only other one I remember was given to Geoffry? Which is where now?

i assume widow's wail is buried/entombed with joff. not a sword but i wonder where the valyrian steel blade from the first season is, the one bran's would-be assassin was going to use.

It's Littlefinger's. I don't see why he wouldn't keep it.

Widow's Wail appears to have been buried with Joffrey, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Tommen has it.

Hopefully seducing Tommen.

I doubt they actually buried it with him. You aren't burying Valyrian steel

This coming episode being called the broken man males the hound reappearing a possibility. But while the books have done enough to bring the hound back workout it being totally out of the blue i don't remember anything at all in the show giving cause to think Sandor may still be around, let alone in a position to fight on behalf of the faith in a trial by combat.

Trial might not be this episode but reintroducing him might be

Fuck the King's Guard. Fuck the King.

Was hoping for a bit more of Ian McShane than that.

Also Arya.

Yeah seriously that was actually kind of lame how quick they got him. Especially since they could have used him for any number of other people (like say Euron Crow's Eye)

My main takeaway: Queen of Motherfucking Thorns.

Also, this:

guess after the first 45 minutes were fucking amazing i should have expected the last few to be a bummer.

if arya dies i am literally done

I'm going to guess she definitely doesn't. The waif specifically ignored instructions to make her not suffer (she could have just slit her throat) and the only reason for doing that was to set up a way for Arya to live. Also the waif is bizarrely emotional for no-one

I agree. The show is ruthless and doesn't care who dies, but the deaths are always in service of the plot, and hers would be a pretty empty death without any real repercussions.

How about that Blackfish?! What a bad ass. Both Lannister twins getting reamed was satisfying, and oooh mama could you feel the rage boiling inside Cersei at the close of that scene. The next episode looks quite violent.
