Being stabbed in Game of Thrones is rapidly becoming as normal a rite of passage as falling in love, renovating the castle bathroom or keeping dragons chained up in the cellar. This week it was Arya who felt the wrong end of a knife, the target of her somewhat irritating nemesis the Waif. Photo: HBO/Helen Sloan. But before this we were treated to the return of Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane, Margaery proving she is taking the High Sparrow for a ride, Lady Olenna's magnificent insults to Cersei and a tiny Mormont, with the mouth of an old general. In an unusual move, Game of Thrones delayed the familiar opening titles to spring straight into a sort of Kangaroo Valley hippie commune run by Ian Mc. Shane and a band of happy men and women in cheesecloth vests and dresses toiling with honest hands and healthy smiles as they built a church- like building in a green valley. Groups of men in honest, clean- living trousers carried logs to the site. Among them was a lone log- carrier, a hulk of a chap with enormous strength. And, as the camera panned up, a familiarly disfigured face. Not seen since the end of season four when Brienne of Tarth bit off his ear, punched his head with a rock and threw him off a cliff, he was never assumed dead as Arya spared finishing him off with Needle despite being his hostage.

The Hound is still himself, although slightly more limpy in the leg, but Mc. Shane's Septon is helping him to health and some calm. But, soon after, the commune is ravaged by a group of nasty men who seemed to be from the Brotherhood Without Banners and Clegane's ire is back up. He grabs an axe and full- bore Hound umbrage resumes. Revenge killing has always been his thing. Photo: HBO/Foxtel. Jon Snow and Sansa are off trying to convince Houses of the North to join them in taking Winterfell from Ramsay Bolton. Their first visit is to the picturesque House Mormont, set on Bear Island beside gushing waterfalls. House Mormont on Bear Island, home of Lady Mormont, a powerful figure fresh out of year five.

Lyanna, who at first glance looks like she has just finished Year Five at Bear Island Public School, is the cousin of Ser Jorah and the niece of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont. She sat between senior advisors, her face . Photo: HBO/Foxtel. Lyanna Mormont the 1. Lady of Bear Island Photo: HBO/Foxtel. And, oh yes, the dead are coming. Bear Island Public School's Library Monitor agrees to support their quest. And then proudly reveals she has 6. This rather deflates Snow and Sansa but Davos, the man everyone should have as an uncle, remains impressed. She has a bit of bother. She proceeds to deal with that bother (via a super power such as being immune to fire, or having an enormous dragon) 3. She gives a stirring appearance or speech that makes everyone amazed and more loyal than ever before, what a lady, I'll follow her anywhere, etc, etc. Repeat. The Broken Man did not feature Dany but it did drag on a fair bit with Jaime trying to get the Blackfish to vacate Riverrun in scenes that were almost a carbon copy, set- wise, of Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail. Particularly Monty Python's French taunting scene and Dennis the mud- gathering anarcho- syndicalist peasant. Thank goodness for the reappearance of Bronn, whose salty language has been missed. When he, Jaime, and 8. Lannister soldiers casually infiltrated the Frey's pathetic, mud- slapped siege of Riverrun, Bronn sums it up magnificently. But the truly vile do stand out through the years. Cersei looked so furious you could feel her restraining every urge to let the Mountain crush Olenna. But she cannot. Cersei sucking up Lady Olenna's sublime insults Photo: HBO/Foxtel. Nor can she defeat the High Sparrow, who seems to be entirely taken by Margaery's pious new personality, even managing to encourage her back into the marital bed with King Tommen. Margaery has engineered a stunning self- rescue. She is back in fine clothes and wearing a crown. The High Sparrow calls her . Photo: HBO/Foxtel. The secret message turned out to be a drawing of a rose, highly symbolic for their House and also because Olenna is known as Queen of Thorns for her barbed comments. So Margaery is engineering a coup from the inside but is the high Sparrow also playing her? Or is he, despite his scratchy undergarments, falling in love with her? It feels like he is softening more and more to Margaery and not just because she is acting like a total gluten- free, no- sugar goody two- shoes biscuit. And here's to Theon Greyjoy maybe getting a bit of joy in his life soon. When he and Yara dock for some post- sailing rest time (Yara gets it about with great happiness) she pushes him to guzzle some ale before pressing him with a supportive sister- to- brother message. He had, she said, had some . There are battles to fight and ladies without tops on to pash so either get on with it or kill yourself, basically. Theon looked like he might, just might, choose life. Dear Arya is wandering around Braavos as if she has not a care in the world. She books passage on a ship home and pauses on a bridge to stare at the city she has spent so long in while trying to be something she perhaps never intended to be. Arya strolling Braavos' ultimately menacing streets Photo: HBO/Foxtel. And then a sweet old lady tries to say hello. Oh Arya, never trust sweet old ladies who might be wearing a layer of dead flesh over their face because they, are, of course, the awful Waif! For it is she, with a knife, which is plunged repeatedly into Arya's stomach before she falls over the edge of the bridge and into the river. Satisfied with the lack of bubbles and the spread of blood in the water below, the Waif smirks and walks off. Like a medieval James Bond, Arya soon resurfaces gulping for air and scrabbling for shore. She then walks the streets, sodden and desperate as blood pours from her stomach. Staring at every face in the city, she realises she cannot trust anyone. Even worse no- one comes to her aid. It is like her version of a walk of atonement but without Supreme Killjoy Septa Unella ringing a bell and intoning ? Even if only as punishment for a dog who has done an errant poo or someone who put the wrong things in the recycling bin). Will Arya die? The preview for next week's suggests not. But heaven help me if that Waif does not get her comeuppance I will jump into the screen and smother her with her orthopaedic sandals. We have three episodes left in this season. There is a lot to come. How will the Hound's story play out? Will he be reunited with Arya? Who was Sansa writing her letter to, presumably asking for help. Yikes, it could only be Littlefinger. Will we see the theatre- players again? Grant, Essie Davis and Kevin Eldon seems elemental after their high- profile inclusion. And what of the dead hamster still living on Cersei's head? Furthermore, if the people who run this show do not deliver us sweet, slow revenge on Ramsay Bolton soon I will be writing D. Weiss and David Benioff a stern letter using something utterly revolting as ink. And maybe sending them. The Official Website for the HBO Series Game of Thrones. GUILD AWARDSGo. T Receives 1.

In one swift move, she has eliminated nearly all of her enemies, rivals, and obstructions; Queen Margaery Tyrell, Lord Mace Tyrell, Ser Loras Tyrell, Cersei's uncle Ser Kevan Lannister, Grand Maester. Pycelle, the High Sparrow, and most of - if not all - members of the Faith Militant were killed when the Great Sept of Baelor was destroyed using large amounts of wildfire, an event orchestrated by Cersei. She has crowned herself the undisputed Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, with Qyburn as her Hand and the undead knight Ser Gregor Clegane at her side. After nearly four decades of serving as the power behind the throne, House Lannister has finally become the new royal house. However, Cersei is still haunted by the prophecy she was told during her childhood, which claimed that the deaths of her three (future) children would predate her own; Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are all dead, Tommen having taken his own life shortly after the Sept's destruction. This has made Cersei all the more determined to crush her enemies once and for all, but the number of her enemies has just increased exponentially. Though she now sits on the Iron Throne, she has effectively undone all of Tywin Lannister's efforts to ensure that his family stay in power as her actions have undoubtedly earned her the hatred of all of Westeros. Most of the realm is either in open rebellion against the Iron Throne or has fallen out of her allies' control, leaving Cersei effectively as the Queen of King's Landing and the lands owned by the Lannisters. It is the beginning of the end. Lord Edmure Tully, who had been held hostage by the Freys ever since the Red Wedding, ordered the Tully garrison to stand down for the sake of his wife and child, whom Jaime had violently threatened if Edmure refused to cooperate. Edmure's uncle, Brynden . Brienne of Tarth and her squire, Podrick Payne, had traveled to Riverrun in an attempt to recruit the Blackfish to assist Sansa Stark in reclaiming Winterfell from House Bolton. The attempt failed, and they were only barely able to escape when the castle fell. Arya Stark, despite nearly being killed by the Waif and ultimately overcoming the assassin in single combat, has completed her training as a Faceless Man in the Free City of Braavos. With her original mission clearly back in focus, she has abandoned the Order and returned to Westeros to cross more names off of her list of vengeance, starting with Walder Frey, the last surviving orchestrator of the Red Wedding that claimed the lives of her mother, brother, and pregnant sister- in- law, at the same time butchering Walder's two most prominent sons, Lothar Frey and Walder Rivers who also helped carry out the massacre, and leaving the rule of the Riverlands in unknown hands. Balon's son, Theon, returned to the Iron Islands after helping Sansa Stark escape from Ramsay Bolton and endorsed his elder sister, Yara, as their father's successor at the subsequent Kingsmoot. However, Euron has claimed and won the Salt Throne by promising an alliance with Daenerys Targaryen, which he will use to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. In desperation, and in fear for their lives, Theon and Yara have stolen a hundred ships from the Iron Fleet. With sailors and soldiers loyal to them, they have traveled to Meereen and sought out Daenerys's help first. They have managed to secure an alliance between House Targaryen and House Greyjoy to help Daenerys retake the Iron Throne and overthrow Euron in return for the Iron Islands' independence. Euron, however, has ordered the construction of an even bigger fleet to begin his own invasions, seek out new alliances and destroy all who may stand in his way of taking the Seven Kingdoms for himself. In Dorne, Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes have staged a coup; they have murdered Prince Doran Martell and his heir, Trystane, and taken control of Dorne in retaliation for Doran's refusal to wage war against House Lannister after the brutal death of his younger brother Prince Oberyn at the hands of Ser Gregor, who also murdered their sister Princess Elia and her two young children, Princess Rhaenys and Prince Aegon. With Cersei declaring war against the Sands for their murder of her daughter Myrcella, Ellaria has turned to Daenerys and her loyalists to help bring down the Lannisters. Unknown to Ellaria, however, is that Tyrion Lannister, Myrcella's uncle, is now serving as Daenerys's Hand of the Queen, and will likely demand justice against the Sands for murdering his beloved niece in cold blood. Lady Olenna Tyrell, herself now a target of Cersei as she is now the only surviving Tyrell, has met with Ellaria and the Sand Snakes, a meeting facilitated by Varys. Although skeptical of their motives (and wary that they essentially murdered their own family to seize power), grief- stricken and incensed by the deaths of her son, grandson, and granddaughter, Olenna pledges House Tyrell's forces to Daenerys in the hope of revenge for her slain family, no longer caring about her own survival. Their victory was also due in large part to the support from the knights of the Vale, the elite soldiers of House Arryn, the lords of the Vale, courtesy of Lord Petyr . Even though House Bolton is now extinct following Ramsay's brutal execution, the future of House Stark is left in question: with Robb and Rickon dead, and Bran believed dead as well, the Northern and Vale lords have turned to Jon and named him the new King in the North, while Sansa has rejected Littlefinger's proposal to help him take the Iron Throne and become his queen. Given that Littlefinger was instrumental in the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings (by conspiring with Lysa Arryn to murder Jon Arryn, pit the Starks and Lannisters against each other, and throw Westeros into complete chaos), and that one of his initial goals was to become the new Warden of the North, Jon's ascension to King in the North is now a major obstacle in his master plan, setting the stage for a looming conflict between Jon and Littlefinger, the latter already having sewn seeds of distrust in Sansa towards Jon. The Red Priestess Melisandre, meanwhile, has been dismissed from Jon's service following the discovery of her role in Shireen Baratheon's death, as well as for the burning of countless innocent people as sacrifices to the Lord of Light during her service to Stannis Baratheon, stripping Jon of easily one of his most valuable advisers, and is now heading south to locations unknown. However, with Sam's theft of his family's ancestral Valyrian steel sword, Heartsbane, he will have undoubtedly incurred the immense wrath of his father, Randyll Tarly, who will now likely seek retribution, and the absence of House Tyrell will have left the Reach open to coming outside attacks, so Samwell must use the sword in his studies and uncover the secrets behind Valyrian steel for the coming battle against the dead, before all is lost. She has acquired an army consisting of the Unsullied, the Dothraki, and troops from House Greyjoy, House Tyrell, and Dorne. Tyrion Lannister serves at her side as Hand of the Queen, though at the cost of two of her advisors: Ser Jorah Mormont, whom Daenerys has sent to find a cure for his spreading greyscale infection, and Daario Naharis, her lover whom Daenerys has ordered to stay behind with the Second Sons (on Tyrion's advice) so that she may pursue a potential marriage alliance to aid her in her campaign. Unknown to Daenerys, however, there is already somebody across the Narrow Sea who may very well have a stronger claim to the Targaryen monarchy than she does, and who may prove to become her most valuable ally or her greatest enemy yet. Following an attack which claims the lives of the three- eyed raven, Hodor, and seemingly the last of the Children of the Forest, Bran and Meera Reed have been rescued by Bran's undead uncle, Benjen Stark, and taken back to the Wall. There, Bran must prepare for the arrival of the Night King, who at all costs must be defeated before Westeros can dream of another spring. Weiss confirmed that season seven would be both filmed and released later than past seasons of Game of Thrones. This was mainly due to the desire to accurately depict the winter that now grips Westeros. Interior shooting returned to the show's headquarters, the Paint Hall Studios in Belfast as well as Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge. Meanwhile, location shooting has taken place at the following locations so far: the Winterfell set in Moneyglass, the Saintfield Estate (for scenes in the Winterfell Godswood). Production started in the Basque country, including Itzurun Beach in Zumaia (as Dragonstone), Muriola Beach in Barrika (as the shores of Blackwater Bay) and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in Bermeo (as Dragonstone), before moving to Andalusia, where they used the Roman Ruins of Italica in Santiponce (as King's Landing), Las Atarazanas (also known as the Royal Dockyards) in Seville (as King's Landing) and Castillo de Almod. Meanwhile, filming had also started in the province of C. Production in Spain ended in the Old Town of C.
