Over at QI, we faithfully dragged this thread from episode to episode and right on into the off-season. It now finds its new home here along with the rest of us. Steam on, little train, steam on. We will not desert you!

Some sample posts--we're all still aboard and movin' on down the tracks!

So, now that the Syrio Hype Train has been decommissioned to the junkyard of 'Where Dead Trains Go,' can we fire up a new head of steam for the Return of Gendry in 6x09? I have no clues to offer (yet!), but we did see the return of Benjen, clearing up that dangling plot line, plus we have the return of Sandor Clegane, also clearing up another dangling plot line. So, why not bring back The Man Who Rows?
Lets keep scouring the online universe for clues.

Of course Gendry will show up, he's somewhere rowing along and suddenly Brienne and Pod row past him!
So a ticket for me, please

Okay, so I was wrong about LSH and Syrio.
But GENDRY IS COMING or I will literally eat crow!!!!
He is going to be a witness against Cersei. He is tangible proof that Cersei is a murderer. She had all Robert's bastards killed.
I don't think Tommen sees his mother as being guilty. He might believe that a trial by the faith will prove her innocence.
But I wonder could this be the moment where Tommen realises that he is illegitimate. When he sees Gendry the penny will drop. It could totally undermine the HS's powerbase.
Although, that might be what the HS wants. I heard a great theory today that said the HS is a Reyne that escaped or had been fostered out and not killed by Tywin. He has been more active in going after the Lannisters than the Tyrells.
I think he wants to undermine the rule of royals totally. If Gendry also has the added benefit of proving that Tommen is not Robert's, the HS can say, "See, these royals can't be trusted. The faith must be the one true pillar that rules Westeros."

What if Varys knows where Gendry ended up? He's on a mysterious mission....

The Twitterverse also wants our guy back--there are many, many of these!
Lady Sansa's Direwolf :
Perhaps Gendry will row into Braavos in time for Arya to catch him and together they row for Moat Cailin arriving just in time to see everyone headed to the big burning down in King's Landing. Together Gendry and Arya purchase front row seats for the event, where they see the High Sparrow and his minions hot footing it down to the Blackwater while Cersei escapes on the Mountain's shoulders singing, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Faith Militant?"

Choo Choo! All Aboard :hypetrain: I am totally on board the Gendry train. I loved the character in both the books and on the show. Are we there yet?
A big eight wheeler moving down the track, means your true loving mama ain't coming back. I'm moving on!

Never thought I'd see a Hank Snow song from 1950 being referenced in asoiaf community....
