The preview and episode title (The Battle of the Bastards. Yes, really) suggests it's going to be like Blackwater/Hardhome/that episode that was basically Attack on Titan. Episode 10 could then be about King's Landing, and I think it's meant to be something like 70 minutes long.

662
I like the theory that Cersei's plotting to blow up the Sept with Rhaegar's Wildfire, we saw it explode underground in Bran's vision. Then she flees the smoldering ruins of King's Landing (oops) and bumps into the Brotherhood, thus giving us Cleganebowl

663
They probably could have cut some of the Arya chase scenes to make room for that fight. I've seen people point out that after Lady Crane is killed Arya is basically in exactly the same situation that she was in at the end of Episode 7. It would probably have made more sense for her to just go straight to Crane and cut out the weird stabbing scene.

He took down zero because he's an old man who hasn't had a real fight in a long time.

e: really I think you just need to look at the purpose of the scene: Blackfish stayed to fight and die because his pride would not allow him to flee a second time. It was not to showcase his epic sword skills or whatever.

665
Did we really need to see Blackfish getting himself cut down by a bunch of Lannister men or a fight occurring in pitch darkness? There was a clear artistic point to cutting away from both.

Some people really like to talk up how easy it is to build home-made guns but that seems to be at odds with the reality that they are very rarely or never used in crimes in countries where bans are implemented.

667
It probably is, the Arya and Daenerys scenes were even dumber than usual and I remember being bored at a few points. I actually liked the Riverrun stuff though, it put some nuance back into Jaime's character.

Maybe episode 1 was worse IDK.

I'm not sure. Radical seems pretty redundant there, I've never heard of a moderate militant Islamic terrorist.
Totally Lame Islamic Terrorism

Oh boy we've gotten to the pedantic and entirely irrelevant arguments about the exact make of gun stage of the debate.

From what I've heard there are home-made bullets around but they're pretty likely to make your gun jam or worse. A jammed gun isn't very useful even at short range

But...

Ok.

Can you give me an exemple of a non-political, non-militant terrorist group? I think we just have different definitions here.
The Joker in The Dark Knight.

Don't know about Leytonstone, but the Lee Rigby killings was not for a lack of mechanisms, the jihadis who beheaded Lee did so because he was in military uniform and they wanted to kill a soldier. They even had friendly conversations with the infidels around them whilst their hands were covered in blood. Adebolajo and Adebowale had guns on them, which they tried to use on the police, the police won that fight. This is in contrast with say Paris, where their focus is maximizing casualties for maximum impact
Most of that is true but I'd point out that they only had one gun and it was a 90-year-old revolver that failed to fire a single shot because it was a rusty piece of shit. I think that counters the argument that terrorists will always have access to the best weapons even if you restrict them (and the perpetrators of the Woolwich attack had a far more direct link to terrorists than Mateen has seemed to so far).

673
Also someone pointed out to me that the unit that went on to become the Brotherhood Without Banners was originally sent out to capture and execute Gregor Clegane.

674
I dunno, but it has been implied that people are resurrected because they're going to do something important in that fight. So Beric himself probably matters.

675
It's already been established the Lord of Light priest(esse)s know about and appreciate the threat of the White Walkers. The BWB have one with them.
