I'm fully expecting Cersei's scheme to backfire disastrously. I suspect that Tommen will do something to fuck her plans up and probably get himself killed in the process.

Not sure who is in line for the Iron Throne after Tommen, as the Baratheon family seems to be dead unless Margery is pregnant or something. There's still one Targaryen out there, and very likely a second one.

He's currently also in the ITV comedy series Vicious with Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, where he plays a character who is a complete 180 from Ramsay. From his resume, he seems to play a variety of different characters and seems to be pretty busy.

Just curious, but Melisandre mentioned the "Prince that was promised," again this episode.

Was TPTWP (or Azor Ahai) ever specifically mentioned before this season? I don't recall a specific reference to the prophecy, just Melisandre believing Stannis would be someone of great importance, and I think I'd probably remember it since it's from the books.

I'm pretty sure she talked about it in Season 2.

I can't find the article right now, but someone posted that Cersei is actually next in line for the throne if Tommen doesnt have a natural heir.

I wonder if Brienne also knows about what Melisandre did to Shireen? The way she glared at her seemed to suggest such.

I doubt it; Brienne was talking about Renly when she delivered that glare. Also, she wasn't there when Stannis sacrificed Shireen. She'd only know about it if Stannis told her at the end, and I don't remember him doing that.

Needs some Gendry, too. Has he just been dropped from the series?

And speaking of loose ends, aren't the warlocks of Qarth still out there?

I don't think that was a premeditated idea, rather that she saw the opportunity when she was there.

Don't forget, Ramsay had her bathed and sent to him.

I think of blonde haired kid from the Karate Kid and Back to School as he would only get D-Bag type roles in the 80's.
Speaking of being typecast, where is that kid who played Joffrey now?

Don't the Dothraki follow the strongest? I don't get why Dany murdering all their leaders but standing in the flames would make them bow to her when they regard witchcraft and witches with contempt? And they would follow a foreign woman across the narrow sea? I've never understood why Dany always is able to wield such power in her storyline, outside of when dragons are backing her up.

Isn't it a little convenient that the High Sparrow told Tommen about the trial and walk of shame, with the promise that he keep it secret, knowing he's such a momma's boy?

Isn't Sansa more likely to unite some of the North behind them then Snow, the bastard son who as far as anyone else knows, is abandoning his duty on the Wall for revenge? I mean not everyone will know or believe in his resurrection, and we were told for so long that the Knights Watch was supposed to be above personal conflict. Not to mention he'll be leading an army of wildlings.

He was going to stop acting after working on Game of Thrones. I think he wanted to pursue a career in academia.

He's living in a castle, supposedly married, and spending the autumn of his years enjoying a relatively boring life like he wanted. His story is done. It would be foolish to see him dicking around King's Landing again for whatever reason just because the character happens to be a fan favorite.

Yes, in the episode The North Remembers.

She had just realized her nudity would like on forever via the Internet. This was also before he character became a very very central character.

I think it would be more than reasonable for Jaime to ask him to lead some of his forces and Bronn to jump at the chance.

They're not candles. They're vessels full of oil.

Last week he spoke to the King and tonight's episode he spoke to Queen Margaret and how he used to make fine shoes and sell them for lots of money while becoming a degenerate.

Good stuff in that bit of dialogue.

Way too long.

Didn't Davos ask about Shireen, but no one answered him?

It's an interesting point, but I think people will still be more inclined to follow a male leader. But they can team up.

We've spent years at the Eyrie and most characters have at least visited.
I didn't say I didn't know what the Vale was. I just don't recall much about the "knights of the Vale" as a body themselves, like the Unsullied or the Kingsguard.

I'm not sure how much of a factor it was, but I heard he got some pretty bad shit from people who don't know how to separate entertainment from reality.

If Sir Friendzone wore a condom, would he be able to do it with Daeny and not infect her with his skin infection?
