Also agree all the Jaime shit in KL has sucked

Why would a lot of sparrows die tonight? Tommen hoisting up his skirt for the High Sparrow has bought the city peace until a least Cersei's trial.

Well shit, most likely happing during the season finale? Some reason I thought it was in the preview showing a sparrow getting his face ripped off but I guess I mixed up trailers

Atleast the Hound and Bronn are coming back, did they ever say who Mccshane is supposed to be playing? I've heard Septon or the Elder

How do you even know about the rumored return of the Hound without knowing who Mcshane is playing? His interview comments are the entire reason anyone thinks the Hound is coming back in the first place.

BTW he is playing Septon Meribald and tonight's episode is titled "The Broken Man."

the boots and pants in the preview this week are the same that Sandor has wore throughout the series, same thing with everyone knowing Coldhand/Benjen was saving Bran last week. The title is also called A broken man, then again that could be about Loras, Tully's ect. With the way characters are getting killed off this season that arent dead in the books im assuming Tully's will get killed off next

So they have him playing another character in the show? Something's fishy. Is Meribald a book character?

Gannascoli played a bakery customer in one Sopranos episode before he became Vito Spatafore the following season. But I don't see the actor of an established and popular character being recycled.

Yes and he has a large speech in the books about a broken man
For length
"Ser? My lady?" said Podrick. "Is a broken man an outlaw?"
"More or less," Brienne answered.
Septon Meribald disagreed. "More less than more. There are many sorts of outlaws, just as there are many sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea eagle both have wings, but they are not the same. The singers love to sing of good men forced to go outside the law to fight some wicked lord, but most outlaws are more like this ravening Hound than they are the lightning lord. They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been more than a mile from the house where they were born until the day some lord came round to take them off to war. Poorly shod and poorly clad, they march away beneath his banners, ofttimes with no better arms than a sickle or a sharpened hoe, or a maul they made themselves by lashing a stone to a stick with strips of hide. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They've heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know.
"Then they get a taste of battle.
"For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they've been gutted by an axe.
"They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that's still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from the marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water.
"If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they're fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it's just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don't know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they're fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world.
"And the man breaks.
"He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them.but he should pity them as well."
When Meribald was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Brienne could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Dog panting softly as he loped along beside the septon and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, "How old were you when they marched you off to war?"
"Why, no older than your boy," Meribald replied. "Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Willam said I could be his squire, though Will was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he'd stolen from the inn. He died upon the Stepstones, and never struck a blow. It was fever did for him, and for my brother Robin. Owen died from a mace that split his head apart, and his friend Jon Pox was hanged for rape."
"The War of the Ninepenny Kings?" asked Hyle Hunt.
"So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was."

Ian Mcshane has yet to be introduced. It is assumed he will be playing a character from the books named Septon Meribald based on casting calls, his own comments in interviews, and the title of tonight's episode.

Big theory about Arya going around is that there really is no waif or she is Tyler Durden or whatever.

Was Arya always doomed to fail in Braavos? | The Daily Dot

Arya and the Waif do battle, and after fighting valiantly, Arya is killed. We are all fucking stunned for a few moments (maybe even 30+ minutes if they decide to show other scenes elsewhere).
The Waif goes to Jaqen and announces that Arya Stark is dead. The waif removes her face to reveal that it was Arya all along, and Jaqen asks who a girl is.
A girl replies "No one." - Credits.

Someone with skills Photoshop Arya, The Waif, and Jaqen into this picture. Be the hero we need.

I enjoy crackpot fan theories, but that one is kinda dumb.

You do see the three of them in the same room interacting with each other.

I mean it's a neat twist on the idea/story, but it's not the story they're presenting.

I dont know man.. When she was fighting the Waif in the street, they flash away for a brief second, and Arya is fighting alone in the street like Jack's Smirking Revenge.

Also..no one around seems 2 give 2 shits about them beating the crap out of each other.... unless that's where ALL the blind, deaf and mute beggars hang out.

Yeah, that part males you think so. But in the other scenes the waif is fairly well established as being real.

I mean they could do that, but they'd have to hand wave away the waif Jacquen arya scenes. And really it doesn't make a lot of sense in the story. The thing is to be no one, not to have multiple personalities and be every one. Wouldn't jaquen just be like, "a girl has gone completely insane."

I took the street scene to be two things. In braavos no one really gives a shit about blind beggar girls, and in braavos people know faceless men are real... And they don't get involved in fights that don't concern them.

But sure, it could have been her beating on herself.
