Since George RR Martin likes to take examples from history I imagine that the Lannisters are going to massacre the priest police and have it be like the Nika Riots.

I mean c'mon, Rains of Castamere. Red Wedding. That's how the Lannisters roll. They crush their enemies underfoot. It's a tradition. I'm only curious as to what they'll do to Lansel Lannister the traitor.

I was just thinking does anything exist in the GoT world where the Lannisters could just pull a Philly PD and drop an explosive on the top of the Sept or is it just going to be Blue Temple fun?


Depends if Tyrion is actually a Targaryan dragon whisperer or not. But the trailer showed a troop formation outside the sept, so I think we can count on a traditional response.

Marge is gonna kill herself after she gets brainwashed by the High Sparrow and Cersei gets Tommen to launch a raid to kill the Sparrows and rescue her. Tommen will be crushed and end up making Joffery's lack of concern for the lives of his people look like Mother Teresa

I'm hoping for a Jamie/Bronn commando raid, but they'll probably end up using the Frankenstein.

The problem here is twofold:

1) When Tywin did all of that the Lanisters were actually wealthy and well supplied. At this point in the story the family's coffers are empty and all of the their gold mines are exhausted. The only thing they've got at this point is the illusion of wealth and power. The war of five kings has also exhausted most of their supplies and troops in the area around the capitol. Also the Iron Throne itself is bankrupt, and has defaulted on its loan from the Iron Bank so they would be unable to borrow to finance putting down the revolt as well.

2) Cersei has alienated her uncle who is now the Lord of Casterly Rock. If Cersei and Jamie drive King's Landing to open revolt there is probably no back-up coming from the west, or if it is it would solely be to extract Tommenen and keep him safe. That would leave them with only the Gold Cloaks (who suck as demonstrated in the battle of King's Landing) and a meager handful of personal Lanister guards to secure the whole city.

That all said, Cersei is an idiot, and will most likely start something she can't finish. I see her killing the High Septon, starting a revolt, getting overwhelmed and besieged in the Red Keep, and resorting to setting off all of the wild fire that's hidden beneath the city to try and put it down.

Haven't seen him in a bit. Even characters that are locked away in a dungeon still get brief screen time


Also where's that one young stark at? The crippled dudes younger brother. They just sort of always glossed right over him but never implied his death. He just chilling somewhere or what? He exists right?

In the books he's being hidden by the wealthiest lord in the North named Manderly. He's pretty awesome. At one point he secretly has a couple of Frays killed and baked into a mincemeat pie that he serves to a combined Bolton/Fray army.

As far as I can tell he hasn't even been mentioned in the show which is a shame.

Rickon will be back eventually. And he is going to be a monster.

I just finished re-reading the 1st book and I noticed that all the Stark kids shared their wolves' personalities (or vice versa I guess).
Jon: Ghost was the outsider, and grew up quickest
Robb: Grey Wind was tactical. He would outflank the other wolves when they played.
Bran: Summer watches, observing the other wolves at play.
Arya: Nymeria was separated from the family and went feral.
Sansa: Lady sat there like an idiot and patiently waited for the dagger.

Rickon's wolf, Shaggy Dog, is a pitch black demon with crazy green eyes that bites people and scares the poo poo out of everyone. A very. Bad. Dog.

Rickon's gonna return and crush everyone's nuts.

relatedly, stannis has not been seen to be dead.
