That’s what I remembered as well. Now there are no more characters left making excuses for Tyrion (except for Varys, maybe. But he’ll abandon ship soon enough).

Technically, didn’t she finish her arc already in 7x01 when she killed all the male Freys, thus avenging the Red Wedding?

Given that Tyrion had been wrong about everything for several seasons now, I’m actually not sure why he still has Daeny’s favour at this point.

I’m sure Howard Reed’s testimony will be important in the books, but I assume the Reeds will not make a comeback on the show for the last two episodes.

Hell, she planted the seed of Dany’s demise that nullifies her claim to the throne.

It’s not like Jon didn’t betray Dany’s trust first by telling his siblings of the secret she asked him to keep. So, in a way, Sansa and Jon did the same thing.

The same way Tyrion could promise Highgarden to Bronn without even consulting Dany first. Unlike him, however, Dany is working on the assumption that she’s the rightful queen of Westeros (by right of conquest as well as by birthright). And it’s not without precedent. Or did the Kings in the North (Robb and Jon) ever…

I don’t know if I’d find a narrative where Arya gets to kill both big bads satisfying. Leave something for another character with a motive.

Unless the female is dwarven or Qunari, in which case Cullen is no longer an option :) These female inquisitors have the same number of choices as male characters. But female human inquisitors, they still have five choices.

Female elven inquisitors have the most options, since Solas is elven-only.

I haven’t read the series, so are all the other protagonists in the other issues of the series also nameless?

Isn’t she the protagonist?

I’m afraid you’ll have to go for a compound of “predictable + terrible”, e.g. “vorhersagbar furchtbar”

Lyanna Mormont has yet to make an actual on-page appearance in the books, so if anything, it’s D&D setting her up, not GRRM (at least at this point).

Not quite random, it was the son of Hama, who had been killed in the warg attack before and had been one of Theoden’s loyal soldiers.

So far I’ve read that it’s not yet clear who’s behind the bombs. The most current article I’ve read (updated half an hour ago) says that the government blames “religious extremists”, but doesn’t say which ones. They are also checking for possible ties to other countries.

Pregnant women drinking watered-down wine was not unusual in medieval times - and yes, even though we’re dealing with dragons and magic, the setting is still supposed to be somewhat medieval. Remember, plain water was basically poisonous, which is why beer and wine were drunk much more frequently.

Right, it certainly was not Ned telling Cersei that he knew all about her incest babies and then letting her off to make preparations for Robert’s death and everything coming after. Cersei certainly expected Ned to never actually do anything with that information (which threatened not just her family’s power but also…

I’d agree with you if Cersei hadn’t been quite open about her sexual relationship with Jaime in the last season. She no longer cares what people think. That’s why her reaction to Euron spelling it out looked somewhat out of place for me.

And he hasn’t even announced his run yet! So you’re putting all your hopes on a guy who MIGHT run?
