That women really is the epitome of ice maiden.

Those two have had solid love all their lives. I reckon they gonna be just fine.

So why were all four of the Lannister top brass present?

But Tyree would have been gratified to hear that Bronn remained ruggedly handsome throughout the turmoil.

And there was me thinking that an audience that doesn't need exposition is the opposite of stupid.

Word. Though this has really whet my appetite to read George's version as he will go all out to get that shit right.

Save yours. Chop off the jokers'.

Right or wrong, gotta love it when McNutt pops up in the melee.

She certainly is a wonderfully enjoyable character. I vastly prefer Heady's version over the page one.

I give him a pass on that as Shae was in the way of his escape, had lied knowing it would get him killed, and Tywin was…Tywin.

I don't recall him crying no fair. He should have been chuckling at the irony of it all?

Someone else noted it in here. Very different circumstances politically though.

At the end of the day Margaery was a Tyrell (who were surpassing the Lannisters) and Tommen jumped from a window. Jaime was away in the Riverlands and returned to find Cersei crowned Queen and needing him.

That was a lightening raid deep into enemy territory made possible by the speed of cavalry and dragon. Once you need to cart pillage away with you everything changes. You need to keep to roads, for one, moving much slower. They set out to deny Cersei the food she'd looted from the Reach, and they achieved that.

Destroying the food supplies was the priority. She mentioned earlier how her former ally, the Reach, was now feeding her enemies.

The battle was in the balance at that point. She was playing the long game.

Hardhome. He killed that dreadlocked WW with his sword.

I very much doubt it. But it's time they kicked us in the teeth again with some plot armor defiance. It's been a long time.

It's not really that simple though, is it? He's been madly in love with her since the womb and (sans Tyrion) he has no other family left at all. Sure, she torched the sept, but it was full of their enemies and they were about to pass capital crimes on her (and him too if High Sparrow and his inquisition plowed on).…

The military intelligence has been frightfully wanting.
