  2. "Lord, cast your light upon us. Show us the truth. Strike this man down if he is guilty, give strength to his sword if he is true. Lord of Light, give us wisdom. For the night is dark and full of terrors." Well. Isn't THAT interesting after "The Broken Man" has aired?

  3. While re-reading the books I encountered a chapter where Arya and Gendry got into a play-fight when they were with the Brotherhood without Banners.

    What happened directly after struck me forcibly. A singer was singing a love song about a King and Queen. This passage alone, I think provides foreshadowing of the future for Gendry and Arya.

    Here's the excerpt:
    […“You can still make swords if you want,” said Arya. “You can make them for my brother Robb when we get to Riverrun.”

    “Riverrun.” Gendry put the hammer down and looked at her. “You look different now. Like a proper little girl.”

    “I look like an oak tree, with all these stupid acorns.”

    “Nice, though. A nice oak tree.” He stepped closer, and sniffed at her. “You even smell nice for a change.”

    “You don’t. You stink.” Arya shoved him back against the anvil and made to run, but Gendry caught her arm.

    She stuck a foot between his legs and tripped him, but he yanked her down with him, and they rolled across the floor of the smithy. He was very strong, but she was quicker. Every time he tried to hold her still she wriggled free and punched him.

    Gendry only laughed at the blows, which made her mad. He finally caught both her wrists in one hand and started to tickle her with the other, so Arya slammed her knee between his legs, and wrenched free. Both of them were covered in dirt, and one sleeve was torn on her stupid acorn dress.

    “I bet I don’t look so nice now,” she shouted.

    Tom was singing when they returned to the hall.

    ("My featherbed is deep and soft,
    and there I’ll lay you down,
    I’ll dress you all in yellow silk,
    and on your head a crown.
    For you shall be my lady love,
    and I shall be your lord.
    I’ll always keep you warm and safe,
    and guard you with my sword.")

    Harwin took one look at them and burst out laughing, and Anguy smiled one of his stupid freckly smiles and said,

    “Are we certain this one is a highborn lady?”

    But Lem Lemoncloak gave Gendry a clout alongside the head.

    “You want to fight, fight with me! She’s a girl, and half your age! You keep your hands off o’ her, you hear me?”

    “I started it,” said Arya. “Gendry was just talking.”

    “Leave the boy, Lem,” said Harwin. “Arya did start it, I have no doubt. She was much the same at Winterfell.”

    Tom winked at her as he sang:

    ("And how she smiled and how she laughed,
    the maiden of the tree.
    She spun away and said to him,
    no featherbed for me.
    I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves,
    and bind my hair with grass,
    But you can be my forest love,
    and me your forest lass.")]
