A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

That is what some people were guessing but that was based upon no real evidence. The next episode is called the battle of the bastards and virtually the entire episode will supposedly be taken up by the battle between Jon Snow's Wildling Army and the Bolton's Army. Many are guessing Little Finger might lead the Vale's Army to the rescue despite Sansa telling him he is her enemy.

I actually was surprised that Sansa didn't reconsider yet and call upon the Vales armies.
After all she knows all too well, that her forces are lacking manpower in order to actually have a good chance against the Boltons ... and she surely is well aware that Baelish/the Vale would come to her aid if she calls for support

I want Gendry to turn up and claim the throne and challenge Tommen in a battle of the bastards.

[Dauphin]

And is it really a guess that the Vale army will turn up. I thought Robyn was convinced by Baelish to send the army, commanded by Royce.

Now that would be a twist.

I thought the red priestess drained all his blood. Isn't Gendry officially dead in the show?

Gendry is still rowing

[rah]

And still better than the alternative.

Sansa wrote to Baelish telling him that he would be forgiven if he brought the Army to Winterfell, Plus, we have the image from the season teaser showing Jon leading a cavalry charge, and we know the Wildlings have no horses. So, no, I don't think it is a guess at all.

My guess is gendry returns for the queen's trial.

Seems like we also have the letter to Blackfish.In it Sansa wrote that she wants him to be in charge of the Knights of the Vale:

Interesting. Especially since they cut the Blackfish out of the Vale in Season 1.

That letter is almost certainly not to the Blackfish. She sent Lady Brienne and Pod to retrieve them. I couldn't see her sending him a Raven basically telling the Blackfish to leave River Run and go take command of another House's Army. Even if Sir Waymar Royce is a good man who fully supports Sansa (who is still a traitor to the crown), I doubt he would just meekly turn over his knights to a rebel, who possibly left House Arryn's service (I don't think the Blackfish served them in the show but I don't remember) or never served the Vale before.

If Sansa is trying to be a sneaky political backstabber, then her letter is most like to Sir Waymar Royce or Sweet Robin and she plans on out-maneuvering Littlefinger to put her in charge of both armies after the Knights of the Vale helps her reclaim the North. However, due to both time constraints placed on the story by the show and the Occam's Razor principle that the showrunners have been using throughout season 6, then the letter is to Littlefinger telling him she has changed her mind about his offer for help (since Jon and her were unable to raise an Army in the North capable of defeating Ramsay).

Though there is a good chance Littlefinger dies very soon unless he is absolutely critical to the story's end game. Every character that inhabits a tertiary arch in the book's story, like Prince Trystane, Sir Barristan Selmy, Doran Martell and possible Stannis have died in the show, or like Victarion Greyjoy, (f)Aegon Targaryen, Jon Connington and Lady Stoneheart have never existed in in the show or have had some other character replace them in the story.

[Proteus_MST]

Hm, you are right ... after all that makes sense ... Baelish gave her the promise to protect her (and broke it, in a way, by marrying her to Reeks Master)
