That's a monster of their own creation. They armed the Faith Militant and gave legitimacy to the new High Sparrow. And they could easily come out on the wrong side of a confrontation.

I wish the show would have made it clearer that Pyke doesn't always use a Kingsmoot—that in fact it is an ancient tradition being revived. It makes Yara seem more petulant, in a way. She is Balon's heir, and as such she really should take the Iron Islands crown, but then the weirdo priest (her uncle in the books but…

I was wondering why she looked so familiar!

Selina calling a symposium on race forward to boost her image and then having it turn out to be entirely composed of white academics was exactly the sort of thing I would expect to happen.

I thought Gary said the Secret Service agent smiled completely different, not smelled.

I actually like Sam and Jess back together. Please no do not destroy them again for another Jess and Nick turn.

Yes, they were on the dock. In the intervening time, there was plenty of opportunity for them to get to KL, where Trystane is on the boat.

Who is going to tell him? Melisandre probably isn't just going to be like "oh btw, I burned your favorite person alive for nothing". I'm sure it will come out at some point, but I think it will take a while.

It was a Dornish boat…

Yes. I think the thing that most drove him from Cersei was her infidelity. At this point in the show, I don't think he's really known about that (Tyrion didn't tell him about all the men Cersei was banging when he escaped). I think they could still go down that road if Jaime realizes, for example, the Lancel thing was…

I thought the conversation between Jaime and Cersei was glaring for its omission of Tommen. "Fuck everyone who isn't us…and our one remaining living child"? Maybe a chance for Jaime to reassure Cersei that the witch was wrong, Tommen was King and they would protect him?

The prophecy confession especially would have made sense as the end of last season, because didn't last season start with a flashback of Cersei getting that prophecy?

They are the ones who gave the prophecy regarding Dany and Drogo's child as well (the Stallion Who Mounts the World or whatever), although I can't remember if that was in the show?

Am I the only one who just doesn't think Jessa is that hot? It seems to come up a lot that she is like this gorgeous person—both in the show and in comments about the show. I just don't see it. She looks like an average girl who doesn't take very good care of herself to me. I mean, compared to Hannah, that's a big…

The groupie looked like she was a high schooler, which made the whole thing just so much grosser. But then again, I may just think everyone looks super young as I get older!

I think that Hannah is Jessa's dearest friend—not necessarily vice versa. But Hannah would consider Jessa "one of" her best friends. And given Hannah's propensity for exaggeration and seeing things in the worst light, of course she is going to phrase it in the most dramatic light.

I totally agree, but who was the trans character? I missed that.

I'd imagine he is scared of the answer.

I figured that they weren't all going at the same time, so he had beaten the previous fastest time by 2 minutes. Someone else might come in between his time and that previous time, but no one would dethrone him.

Yep, I was wondering if that was just the local affiliate or a snafu from the show itself.
