@Grim Fandango The effects of the Eye of Harmony doesn't seem to kill, but rather to drive its victims mad while mutating them into a lava based monster. They then just become ravening loons. There's absolutely no good reason for this, though you could think of it as a shout-out to Nev Fountain's Omega (or even just

Yeah, I took the "we've recently had some downsizing" line to suggest that the organisation has recently fallen on financial hard times, possibly due to some sort of Schizm.

Yeah, this makes sense.

For an actress who's billed as a special member of the cast, Maria Doyle Kennedy's done precious little as Mrs S. I call shenanigans!

I feel bad for the actor. He's got to keep that weight on for as long as the show runs, unless his character's written as suddenly losing weight. If he encounters health problems of wants to drop it he'll run into problems.

Strikes me that with a bit of education she could easily fit into House Tyrell, or at the very least achieve lasting happiness with them. I'm not worried about they'll treat her — the Tyrells seem like schemers, but also largely decent people.

How's he planning on smuggling her out of King's Landing anyway? If they need a convoluted plan to get her to Highgarden there's no way that they're going to let her travel to the _North_

Yeah. It's covered in the books.
