I think the critics are being way to hard on this season. I feel it was one of the best. There are only about 15 (!) episodes left, and the story has to get moving and the characters need to start consolidating. The "fleshing out" of the plot and characters have been done in the previous 5 seasons. Do we really…

I think we can guess her plan. It was to get Loras out of their clutches, flee. Loras could renounce his renouncement of his title and they would come back in force. The High Sparrow ruined that by mutilating Loras and Cersei blowing them all up. Even though the Faith barring them from leaving came across as too…

She could have done that when Edd Stark threatened to expose her way back too. Its not in her nature, agreed. Plus, she would have been tried in abstentia anyway and branded as a murderer and engaging in incest and her name would be ruined, and there was no way she was going to take that.

I loved this episode. Best since Hardhome. I disagree about Cersei though. She basically had no way out. I think after what they did to Loras, even with his confession and Margaery making a deal, that proved to me that they would have killed her for sure. I also thought it mirrored Edd Stark's murder in season 1…

Loved the coronation. It was like the Empire in Star Wars. She is now reigning bad guy for next season. Without her kids, I really do not she cares about anyone at this point.

eh, you have to forgive some stuff, the timelines even in the books is hopeless. Robb basically stomped around having many battles and besieging cities and it all took like a year. Forget about Ayra and how much she went through in a year. All with medieval traveling. I stopped caring about that in the second book,…

I am pretty sure they only crown woman where there is no male heir. Jon is a male heir. (So they think as Edd's son), so they basically legitimized him. Cersei got it through naked power.

Defeated and killed the Boltons. They were there and betrayed Robb

out of $100.00

well, GOT is an HBO show which is American. They just use actors and locales, so it would be weird to single them out since they are not a British show. HBO's money is still green.

Margaery will proclaim herself queen. Cersei is a gonner this episode for me.

I also think this will happen. Everyone thinks the Mountain was brought back to fight the Hound, but I think its a Frankenstein's monster thing and she will be the one responsible for fulfilling her own prophesy. If this happens, she may kill herself..

yep, GOT will be over in two years, so it won't affect them

He would be certain 100% dead in the books, but the writers may wimp out because of the meme of gay people getting killed in every show thing.

I am betting Tommen (killed by the Mountain in a misguided effort to protect Cersei), then Cersei (prophesy and all says he goes first), Kevan (basically all the Lannisters in the city) Lancel, and Loras. High Sparrow also gets it and the whole movement collapses. Margaery becomes sole queen. I always felt the…

happy trees!

I know the show's defenders want so badly for it to be an empowerment thing, but the questions they want us to ask do not apply, since this is a show about prostitution and being a high class escort. Male prostitutes do exist, but really not on that level and are almost always portrayed negatively in the media, so I…

Nah. Can't see it. She did not think Littlefinger would show after she told him off. (We know enough about him to know he would, but she doesn't) That is why she did not tell Jon. She is definitely colder and far from the annoying romantic girl than from the start, so she had real character growth. But her being…

I agree, the show is not just reaching its climax in the season, but overall. Ramsey had to be killed to allow them to concentrate on the white walkers next season, and after that is the final season. Jon already died, so we all knew he was going to win. I felt like they did it in the most exciting way possible. …

he obviously is the "nice" parent who is trying to understand what happened, while the woman in the family react with disgust because they know her better. Girls generally get along better with their fathers then their mothers. You can see she has a good relationship and genuinely loves and does not want to hurt him…
