I'd guess it was mainly despair over learning Cersei was even more monstrous than Joffrey, plus staying alive would leave him with the choice of either trying to have his own mother arrested and executed, or letting her get away with it which means he'd be effectively endorsing the mass murder.

Related: I don't think the show has addressed the issue of whether Tommen actually knows those nasty rumors about his parentage are true. I speculate Cersei and/or Jaime will tell him in an attempt to convince him not to let Cersei's trial move forwards - and then it'll backfire terribly as Tommen decides that the

It's also hard not to feel bad for her at the end of it, when she's limped naked into a room with her uncle, lifetime Lannister lackey Pycelle, and a whole bunch of royal guards, and the only people who lift a finger to help her are Qyburn and the FrankenMountain.

The HBO Janitor of Cock must have been working overtime this season.

I know Tormund never fooked no bear, you know Tormund never fooked no bear, and with ice zombies on the move nobody needs to hear about a bear Tormund never fooked.

I'm half-expecting Sansa to try to engineer a Bolton family feud, like Lady Kaede in Ran. She's already taken the first few steps along that path by encouraging Ramsay to view any son of Walda's as a threat to his position.

I would strongly doubt that, just because Valyrians in general are associated with fire rather than ice - Valyria had multiple volcanoes, a Valyrian steel sword can kill a White Walker, and Valyrians tamed dragons, which will probably wind up fighting the undead army in the Big-Ass Final Battle.

Oooh, forgot about that guy. So yeah, Sand Snakes are definitely psycho.

He designed his own because he felt like it, and probably didn't like the one his family already had. But they were technically made nobility a generation of two before his birth, lords of the smallest landholding on the smallest of the peninsulas known as The Fingers, hence the nickname "Littlefinger".

Or perhaps, the other two didn't care whether or not Bronn died, but had seen Tyene pull the same exact "I've poisoned you, now flatter me for the antidote" routine umpteen times before and wish she'd at least come up with some new lines.

My theory: Ramsay ain't the only psycho in Westeros who gets off on lethally fucking with people. The only reason we haven't seen the Sand Snakes torture anyone yet is that they got arrested trying to grab Myrcella.

Technically, Littlefinger is of noble birth. His parents may have been the poorest backcountry sort of nobility, but they were still nobility with lands, servants, peasants to do the sowing and reaping for them, etc.

I love that they just had this guy permanently dangling from a truck playing the electric guitar to pump up the troops. Immortan Joe, or someone working for him, must have really put some thought into how to make being a Warboy as exciting as possible so none of them would think too hard about how they were basically

Apparently in this one she gets an origin monologue about how she was turned into a super-assassin that would do nothing but kill for her masters and now considers herself something of a monster. But because part of that super-assassin training involved sterilizing her, CLEARLY she only thinks she's a monster because

It's the Middle Ages - alcohol is probably safer than the water.

Theon told Ramsay, who presumably told Roose, who told that Locke dude so Locke could go infiltrate the Night's Watch and kill them. With Locke having been killed in the attempt, I don't think much of anyone else knows. Oh, and Sam, who may or may not have told Jon.

I think that was the moment when Hizdahr the Lorax decided the whole Daenerys thing just wasn't going to work out. He might not have been a Harpy supporter before, but he sure as hell is now.

They might have, but it's kinda hard to pass on knowledge to the next generation when a civil war breaks out and the whole family gets slaughtered except for a newborn baby and an 8-year-old boy.

I don't think Cersei "sent" the Sparrows to do that, they just did that because that's how they roll.

The guy who wants the fighting pits reopened is Hizdahr zo Loraq, and he's basically the representative of the upper classes on Dany's council. He might be a mole for the Harpy, or he might just be a guy who doesn't want his society changed any more than necessary. We'll probably find out later this season.
