Yes they did, I believe in the Rains of Castamere episode from last season.

I wonder if Ser Pounce, Lady Whiskers, and Boots were cast for this season?

Keep in mind that he's just a kid, so the real power is going to lie with his Hand (Tywin) and his regent (Cersei).

With Tommen being 14 or 15 in the show instead of 6 or 7, I doubt it ha.

So basically.. nothing is changed. Except for the king walking around being a jerk to everyone.

Yup.

I had hoped Fat Walda would be even fatter, because that only makes it funnier.

There is a very spolier-y, well discussed reason for this:

Spoiler:
Jon Snow is not the son of Ned, but the son of his sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryean

Spoiler:
Actually there is some evidence that Jon was not illegitimate in the books.

Tommen appears like he'll be more controllable, so you won't have him doing crazy things like order Ned Stark executed instead of sent to the Wall (for example). King's Landing will probably also see a decrease in the number of whores crossbowed to death.

It's more obvious before Joffery's death in the books, but Tommen and Myrcella are actually good kids.

I still maintain that the subtext of this series should have been "...and Fuck the Starks"

So, the necklace that Ser Dontos gave to Sansa...was that the same one Lady Olenna threw over the wall when saying it was no good for Margaery?

So what happens to Margaery? Is she now going to marry Tommen? Do the Tyrells no longer have an alliance with the Lannisters?

There's one whore Cerci would still like to see crossbowed to death.

Tommen is too young. You'll never get him off his PS4 or texting with his friends long enough to do any ruling.

Actually Littlefinger had Ned's body returned to Cat so that it could be buried in Season 2, remember?

I know personal attacks are off-limits here, so hopefully a mod won't see this...but this is the most idiotic post I've ever seen on this or any other forum. A PS4? Everybody knows that Tommen has an Xbox One.

No way.. I don't buy that the Lannisters are technophiles... they seem a bit too focused on war and domination.... Plus, with Tommen being younger, they totally bought him a Wii-U.

Yeah, but Cat fled after Renly was killed. I'm pretty sure she didn't take the remains with her. Any idea on who has them now?
