Quote:As far as The Hound. I Know fans are screaming for The Clegane bowl. I am curious to see how that could happen in the current story. If Cersei is fixing to go on a rampage with the Mountain in the next episode. Yet, Sandor is hacking away at the Brotherhood near his location. How does he cover so much ground to King's Landing? Just interesting to see how that plays out. I am thinking that he may stumble across Brianne and Podrick instead. After they leave Riverrun it's possible they exchange paths. So I wonder if The Hound will take it to Brianne this time and maybe best her or make her yield? And maybe turn back and help Jon and Company? I just find it difficult in him making it all the way back to King's Landing without being interrupted. 

 

There is also a really cool theory going around about Arya because of her naive actions and even her stance and walk. People believe it's actually Jaqen using her face to test the Waif. And how would Arya have two full sacks of gold to book her sail back to Westeros? Now, you can argue that she's trained in being a stealth like thief and killer. So maybe she pick pocketed her money to do so. But I agree. For the most part, think about Arya's character. Ever since her father's death, she's been sneaking around, laying low, surviving off the land the hard way. She's been cunning and good at keeping her intentions to herself for the most part. She trusted The Hound to an extent as well prior to his falling in the show and in the books. 

 

So why would she break character there and have a major lapse in style and training? Makes no sense. Also, someone pointed out that when she helped that actress lady that she asked her how she did the "fake blood" bit. She used sacks of pig's blood. So it's possible maybe Arya placed some pig's blood around her to give off the illusion that she was injured. She's trained and fought with the Waif. She could have anticipated those cruel shanks to the gut. 

 

So that's what I am thinking. Someone also pointed out that Arya could have swapped faces with someone and that in the next preview when you see someone running and jumping off a ledge in Bravos that it's not Arya but actually the Waif running from maybe Jaqen. She broke her character as well and pursued Arya out of spite and jealousy. In other words, selfish ambitions. Thus no longer being "No One" but "Some One". It's getting good though man. This season has been amazing so far. 

 

I have a badly-thought out and probably very incorrect theory that it is Arya who was injured and that she'll end up dying.  I think I remember hearing someone say (either show or in the books) that "for a girl to become no one, Arya Stark must die".  Or maybe I'm just misremembering it.  Would be interesting if the Faceless Men have the ability to raise people from the dead like the Red Priests and Priestesses, but their subjects lose their identity in the process (as well as their faces which maybe get lopped off in the morgue of the House of Black and White) before they're brought back.  If that's the case, Arya's face will go into the Hall of Faces, but "a girl" could become Arya anytime she chose.
