    What do you all think is going to happen with the Ice Dragon?
    Part of me thinks when this thing shows up to battle, Dany may be reluctant to send her two dragons in to battle.  The Knight King easy took down her dragon before and now they have to fight their icy dragon brother?  My gut tells me she's going to protect her dragons more than she will protect Winterfell.  And the north has no means to stop the Ice Dragon without the use of their own.  

    I don't know...I feel like once Dany see this ice dragon killing the unsullied and dothraki, she'll have no choice but to take out the ice dragon.  Episode 3 is going to be awesome....pretty sure that is the battle of winterfell that took them like 3 months to film.

    Why would Cersei hire the one guy she doesn’t trust who is also friends with the two guys she wants to murder, especially when Tyrion will double the price?  Especially when Bronn knows the dragons have the ultimate advantage in a war?
    Not to mention he is her ex in real life, I wouldn't trust him at all.
    I did read a while ago that the actors who used to roll around together in real life cannot even be in the same room and be civil enough to act at this point.  This would explain why Cersei wanted to make him the offer but it was her toadie re-animator Hand who did the bargaining.
    Yeah and why Bronn had to leave that big meeting in the dragon pit in last year's finale before Cersei arrived.  That's pretty crazy.
    I knew they had a past and hated eachother but I didn't know that's why he left.  That's nuts

    Why would the waif bother wiping out house Frey?  
    Wouldn't the waif need to do things that Arya would have done to be convincing in her deception? Arya eliminating house Frey would be high on her list, so it makes sense for the waif just go ahead and do it.
    How would the Waif know her kill list and the intricate details of the Starks and what happened at the Red Wedding?  It don't recall the Waif and Arya ever getting in to detailed and personal convo. 
    I believe Arya is Arya.

    I think she will eventually have her dragons involved but not before thousands die.

    At what point do you think Dany finds out about Jon's lineage?  Does Jon tell her or does he hold off until after the war?  I don't think Jon gives a crap about the throne or any title, but I can see her losing her shit over it.

    Hard saying, not knowing....but it seems ridiculously petty.
    Again, one (or both of them) could have done awful things to one another, extended friends, family, etc...and perhaps there is just nothing to bridge things.  (Although money and a show where other people are all acting would seem to be enough.)  Curious...but since I like both of them perhaps it is better not to know.  :lol:

    I  don't think anyone knows what Arya has done and she isn't bragging about it.  She left one survivor at the Freys, but any first respondents would think the girl was lying or nuts.  If the waif wanted to be deceptive, she would come back as a clumsy little girl who wants to be a knight someday versus cutting throats in the main hall of Winterfell like a trained assassin in my opinion.  Plus, using faces make you look and sound like your prior victim but it doesn't give you their memories.

    I believe Arya is Arya.
    In the books, when Arya put on one of the masks she experienced thoughts and feelings of the person she was portraying. It would stand to reason that the waif would experience the same thing if she put on an Arya mask. Also, in the show, I don't remember which episode exactly, the waif asks who she wants to kill. Arya does respond with Cersei, Gregor, and Walder Frey. Waif then kind of mocks her saying that's a short list and Arya probably failed one of their tests by lying and omitting names.

    I'm not so sure I believe this theory though. However, it does seem to be one of the more logically sound theories I've read.

    My wife had a fun theory about Arya. As much as we both want to see Jamie kill Cersei and complete his redemption arc (could he be Azor Ahai?), what if Jamie is killed in the North, either executed or in battle, and Arya takes his face?
    We could then see 'Jamie' travel back to King's Landing and kill Cersei, and just as she's about to die Arya rips the face off - Boom! You got killed by a Stark!

    Also, Gendry (a Baratheon) and Arya, (a Stark) would make a great power couple. He could be King, she'd be his Queen/Faceless Man/Ninja Assassin

    How could the Waif be Arya when the Waif's face is on the wall in the House of black and white?

    What if the face on the wall isn't the waifs original face? They have, after all, been training to pose as someone else.

    I just can't get on board with it because of the direwolves. Once returning back to Westeros, she comes into contact with Nymeria, her wolf that she made run away to stave off execution. The wolf's smelling of Arya let the wolf recognize her and prevented the wolf from attacking. If it was the waif in an Arya mask, I don't think the wolf recognize the smell of the waif.

    I love the idea posted that Arya and Blacksmith Boy end up on the throne.  That would be pretty cool.  Everyone else dies!

    I also suspect that the house of the many faced god doesn’t appreciate the white walkers stealing from the Stranger.

    I believe that in the books, there is a "transplant" that happens with the faces.  They are also meticulous about learning the backgrounds of their victims and surroundings in general.  When putting on a face, the wearer is hit with memories and emotions from the original person.  

    Imo, the biggest factor working against it was ridding the world of freys.  Killing that many people would be a special level of sacrilege to the many faced god.  And to "fool" people is pointless because nobody else knows.  The wolf pack would have also likely devoured an imposter.  Not only smells, there is a telepathic bond.

    I can't buy the theory that Arya is the waif (first, I had to look up what the waif was, I had forgotten, am I the only one?). 
    One, she is one of the only characters I just don't see them killing off. And she almost got killed because she didn't kill according to the many faced gods and did kill who she wanted to to begin with. So going back and killing the Freys and being Sansa's executioner wouldn't make sense.
