Cool episode. Some storylines got a jet pack. I'm now seeing things more Sirken's way -- Greyjoys out or significantly altered and i don't see a path to Connington/Aegon story. Sorry to see Barriston go out that way, those Sons of Harpy better be the pit fighters or I'm going to be disappointed. What's up with the Brienne and Pod storyline? Where's that headed?

Brienne and Pod you say. well, first you have to decide if they are actually important or not, and since we havent seen Brienne or Pod since book 4 (when she meets up with Jaime near Riverrun and lures him off to see stoneheart). Personally at this point i think Brienne is expendable.
now bare with me on the rest, Since Mance is arguably dead on the show (i know it coulda been Tormund glamoured as Mance, however, the Actor that plays Mance has been bumped down from a Main Character to a Side Character this season, which leads me to believe hes actually dead on the show), it stands to reason that HBO will need to come up with another plot to get Theon and Sansa (in the book this is Theon and Jeyne Poole aka fake Arya) out of Winterfell and into the clutches of Stannis Baratheon. i think Brienne will play this role, and i think it will put Brienne in the same spot she found herself in with Lady Stoneheart. Stannis will look at Brienne and see her as a former member of Renly's Kingsguard, and currently as being in the employ of the Lannisters (thanks to the sword Jaime gave her), and im sure he will give her some task, similar to the Stoneheart sends her on. at the end, i think Brienne will die in the show saving Sansa, and making good on her oath to Catelyn and Jaime.
