I read somewhere that one episode is called âBattle of the Bastardsâ.
Not sure whatâs going to happen in that one!
Think thatâs the Merseyside derby

So recent episode. Lets see if I can match Papâs round up.
That big bloke with bad hair is back. Lovejoy seems to be a nice peaceful man which meant he ended up dead.
Queen Marge is not that religious (think we all sussed that). Her nan is still not up for making friends with the woman who walked about naked.
Theon doesnât like to be around orgies. I wonder why. Who knew his sister was into women.
Sansa and Jon get bullied by a 10 year old but seemed to get some extra people for their merry band. 62 LOL
Shrekâs prince charming. Sorry, Jaime was also trying to win over people for his merry band.
Ayra got stabbed in the front by an old woman.
Yeah think that will do.
A huge focus on Westeros this week, with a little bit of time spent in the port city of Braavos following Arya.
Convention is immediately broken, with a scene before the opening credits. GoT doesnât normally do that, but did so this week to reveal that Sander Clegane, a.k.a âThe Houndâ, is alive and well. Assumed killed by Brienne of Tarth, he has been nursed back to health by a religious community, headed by the enigmatic Ian McShane, formerly of Lovejoy and Deadwood. McShaneâs character is a septon (officially ordained priest of the Seven) and repentent former reprobate. During one of his sermons, he makes it clear that his life has been just as, if not more wicked than Cleganeâs, recounting a memory in which heâd murdered a child in front of its screaming mother. Weâll return here later.
Jon, Sansa and Davos are on their tour of the North, trying to drum up support for their planned assault on Winterfell. This is proving much harder than expected. First, they need to convince the wildlings that the fate of Winterfell is linked to their own. Theyâre already a long way from their comfort zone, but after a stirring put-down by Tormund, they declare for team Stark.
Many of the houses they visit have already shed a lot of blood for the Starks, perhaps best embodied in the head of House Mormont, a ten year old girl, still the most eligible heir in a system of male primogeniture. Incidentally, this is the same house the former Lord Commander of the Nightâs Watch heralded from, and also greyscale Jorahâs ancestral home. One of the other heads of house is played brilliantly by Tim McInnery, best known for his Percy and Darling roles in Blackadder. Iâm hoping to see more of him. The composition of the army is also a source of problems. Northerners are used to killing wildlings, not fighting alongside them. Itâs a big ask. Not everyone says yes. As we leave them, theyâre undermanned, fractious and running out of time. Winter felled Stannisâ army, Davos reminds Jon. Sansa, clearly worried about their military prospects, sends ravens to potential allies. May work, may not, but with friends like hers, she doesnât need enemies.
In Kingâs Landing, we learn that Queen Margaery hasnât actually been brainwashed by the High Sparrow. As some suspected, sheâs putting on a performance aimed at getting her family clear of danger. Following the aborted takeover by House Tyrell last week, Margaery learns from the High Sparrow that Lady Olenna could face sanction for her sin. Alarmed, the young Queen manages to pass a scrap of paper to her grandmother under the constant glaze of Septa Unella.
She instructs her grandmother to return to Highgarden with pleading, urgent eyes. Once out of the Septaâs sight, Olenna inspects the paper and sees a black rose, the symbol of House Tyrell, confirmation to all that Margaery is still her own gal, even if the High Sparrow is now trying to touch her up. She is also under pressure to lay back and think of the Seven Kingdoms to produce an heir for Tommen.
Cersei visits Olenna and tries to convince her that they have a common enemy, her pitch so desperate that she admits making a terrible mistake in allowing the Faith to be militarised. Olenna sees it for what it is, the desperate plea of a woman holding onto the last tiny vestiges of her power. Cersei really doesnât have much to draw on. The Mountain and Qyburn are her only allies in Kingâs Landing. Tommen canât be relied on and her brotherlover is on a mission.
Jaime is busy in the Riverlands, attempting to wrestle control of Riverrun from the Blackfish, Sansaâs uncle and Catelyn Starkâs brother. The ancestral home of the Tullyâs was given to the Freys by the Iron Throne as payment for their services at the Red Wedding. The problem for the Freys is that theyâre utter shit at fighting, and when not breaking guest rights conventions, theyâre not very scary. No-one believes them when they say theyâre going to kill their only bargaining chip. Jaime gives one of them a proper demonstration of carrying through a threat, cuffing him with the golden fist for chatting! Gertcha!
Jaime parleys with the Blackfish on the drawbridge, whereupon Tully informs him that the besieged castle has enough food for two years. The Lannister, clearly perturbed by the prospect, tries to make out as if the siege will be broken quickly with all souls killed, offering the Blackfish and his men their lives if they surrender peacefully. Neither man seems particularly convinced of their prospects, but Jaime and Bronn will make a far better stab of the siege than the Freys. With Sansaâs words on various wings, the Blackfish may soon appreciate being able to leave Riverrun with his forces intact to assist his niece.
Across the Narrow Sea, Arya attempts to secure passage back to Westeros, securing a cabin on a ship. As sheâs taking one last look at the Titan of Braavos, sheâs approached by an old woman in public, who starts slashing at her and stabbing her. Itâs the waif in a Faceless Men disguise. Itâs brutal; I genuinely thought Arya was going to be another high profile and unexpected death, but she manages to throw herself from the bridge into a canal. The waif believes her dead, but Arya emerges from the canal, battered, bleeding and broken. She is by no means safe and in a critical medical condition. The title of next weekâs episode, âNo Oneâ, suggests a big focus on her storyline.
Theon and Yara are shoreside following their flight from the Iron Isles. Yaraâs enjoying the facilities, but cockless Theon couldnât feel sorrier for himself. Yara informs him that she needs the real Theon if theyâre to beat Euron to Meereen and the Dragon Queen. They plan to get in there before he does, in order to re-take the Iron Islands.
So, returning to the Hound in Westeros. The religious group he belongs to is approached by representatives of the Brotherhood without banners, who donât seem as âup for the peopleâ as Beric Dondarrion once did. Theyâre looking for food and supplies, subtly threatening them, which turn out not to be threats. Clegane returns to camp to find the lot of them murdered, including Ian McShaneâs character. Alone again, but changed from his time in the group, The Hound heads after the killers. I donât think theyâre going to be pedigree chums.

Or you didnât sort Bearâs requirement.
Or the the site is full of grammar Nazis that couldnât endorse the superfluous apostrophe (theyâre out there, the bastards!).
Perhaps youâre the miserable kind of bugger that thinks top ten for Saints isnât an achievement, or you need to go as low as that to cover your pessimistic posterior.
Personally, I didnât see it, although if I had, I probably wouldnât have upvoted it. You refer to Murdoch as an evil cunt, which is fine, but something we already know and youâre still advocating that people chuck readies at him. Not Sotonians, dude.
Voted your other post up for sharing your feelings though. Thatâs exactly the sort of wanky thing we like 
Top 9 is calling.

Ah get over yourself, I post lots of witty stuff that never gets upvoted, even my go to of @LouLouMySweet isnât working any more.
Preview for next weekâs show.
GoT. The first invention in humanity that has Brits looking forward to a Monday.
Harsh words have left me devoid of love for this cruel site. My wit and intellect are shared for your benefit and yet they are both cast aside with out so much as a nod of appreciation. I feel like Jon Snow when being ribbed by the Ginger minge for being a virgin, my naive innosense mockedfor your pleasure. You probably all name your swordsâŠ
My sword is called little Bob, or bigger little Bob when heâs excited!!!
With apologioes (NSFWâŠ)
Itâs a fine vid, GA, but if the intent was to call us âcuntsâ (I think it was), you should have picked a better example.
While itâs true that Sandor Clegane sounds cool in that scene, he is considerably less cool by the time his life depends on the mercy of that small girl and her named sword 
Ahr⊠the so literal at times Pap 
Aye,but judging by the latest episode, he is about to get âcoolâ and nasty with an axe again⊠
Iâve just been on Facebook, GA - and thought of you, specifically your self-proclamation of comedy genius.
A suggested friend (who I didnât actually know) listed herself as an eCommerce expert. She looks about 25, around time in life when youâre self-absorbed enough to make such claims and actually believe it.
Not every self-proclaiming statement is false, though. No-one disbelieves me when I tell them I have a small cock.
Even a whole pub in Southport believed. But you had a lot of people backing up the claim.

I watch every episode, but often fail to recgonize people who havenât been in it for 4 or 5 years. Keep the write ups going, if only to maintain my (alleged) sanity.
Was it just me, or did the script include far more use of âfucking this, fucking thatâ than usual? I didnât think Anglo-Saxon had reached Westeros?

There are some delicious Arya theories out there at the moment. Speculation, but not spoilers. No book knowledge, but it may happen.
The first that caught my interest was this. Same person theory.
There are a few others on TIME, pulled from Reddit.
