I love how they're really leaning into the Bernie styling (at least in my imagination). The hair is uncanny.

It wasn't *that* little…

You and your friends are good people. I'm sadly too tightly wound to watch with anyone - god forbid I miss a word. It's just me and my wine and FRANTIC texting as soon as the credits roll.

I say this in complete good humor, but that is TERRIBLE tv watching etiquette.

I expect to use that gif for the rest of my days.

Agreed - Bran's story line is, IMO, the most intriguing in the books. His storyline takes me down the rabbit hole of ASOIAF history research like none other.

WHO RUN THE WORLD?

Aw, man. I hope it doesn't replace the scars. But I guess there would be no way for her to know to take a gemstone without further contact with Geillis or her notebook. But…I really hope they didn't get rid of the scars.

Yes, it's a ring with the stone missing and it'll come up in the future (no pun intended).

Yeah…the idea that Claire Fraser wouldn't be able to handle the word "flog" is quite a stretch. Home girl is not even a fraction of that delicate.

I agree completely. As a 28 year old, more than half of my married friends were divorced within a year or two of getting married and I'm finding this is not uncommon. And these are well-educated, seemingly emotionally stable people whose decision didn't seem overly hasty (granted, that's not Marnie). Rather, they are…

That would be ideal, IMO.

I'm starting to buy into the Trystane bringing Jaime to Daenerys theory that subs Trystane for Quentyn, but even if that ends up coming to fruition, you're right that there still would be no reason to kill Myrcella. I guess maybe so there would be one less "Baratheon" heir.

Agreed. At this point, I'm assuming GRRM will have his own, generally independent agenda for the remaining books. Do I think there's a good chance he'll be influenced by the artistic license taken by D&D? Sure. But I'm not going to make assumptions that one renders the other obsolete.

So yeah. I think Trystane knew and was pulling one over the gullible princess the whole time. He wasn't in love with her.

I actually took notice of his "off" reactions during the 9th episode when Doran announced Myrcella would be returning with Jaime and Trystane would be joining them. I couldn't place why his reaction seemed odd at the time beyond noticing that it absolutely did not look like the genuine reaction of a love-sick teenager…

If anything it'll give them one last chance to say each of their names and titles before the execution for old times' sake. You know how they loooove identifying those sand snakes.

Please tell me I'm not alone in thinking for a moment that Myrcella was hitting on Jaime. Thanks a lot, GRRM, for making that the first place my mind goes.

Cosign.

This is what happens when you use new-fangled words with a pre-millenial - does not compute. Thanks for clarifying!
