I wonder if the high septon really realizes if he puts Cersie on a trial he might de legitimize his greatest ally (Tommon).

I think that he's your typical greedy gently caress who puts on a pious face and has pretensions of ruling basically like a Medieval Pope. Necro-maester has some kind of dirt on him or some kind of contingency plan for this they alluded to.

I was a bit miffed they did the whole "OH HEY, MY LITTLE BIRDS FOUND OUT THAT SECRET YOU HEARD FROM TOMMLIN IS INDEED TRUE. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK!" Also Arya's storyline was one giant long wet fart. They could have wrapped that poo poo up ages ago but I guess it was something for her to do before it was time to reintroduce her to Westeros again. The Hound stuff is completely my poo poo though. I hope it keeps going.

Braavos turned out to be a not great. A poo poo ton better than anything revolving around Dorne. The show was wise to drop the Dorne plot around episode 2.

I'm guessing he's either untrained or too old to put up a convincing fight. Godholio fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Did you guys really need to see an old British actor clumsily swing a sword? His death was handled better off screen where we can imagine the old fucker didn't get cut down within a second.

Also Jeqen in the books is just "the kindly man" and he doesn't have a face anymore and is just a skull unless he's wearing one of the faces.

Why did cutting the candle out on the waife give arya an advantage? Presumably they both trained blind at some point and she was gutshot/fell from the roof earlier. Was it a syrio training thing or something?

I felt a lot less sympathy for that actress after she was like "Yeah I just stab my boyfriends all the time cause they're jerks, oh yeah and I carved up that one bitch's face when a total stranger made a random accusation against her." At that point I was just kinda like "Welp... pretty sure that was to make your character less sympathetic so we don't feel so bad when Resting Bitch Face kills you in 20 minutes."

Also: Bran time-traveling & yelling "FATHER!" at young Ned Stark is probably what made Ned Stark raise and adopt the child that Lyanna Stark was having up in that tower as his own son. Like yo, a disembodied kid's voice said I was it's dad, it's my sister's kid, might as well.

I haven't read them in a couple of years so I can't remember that detail, but in the show I thought it was presented as a punishment for being a fuckup.

Now that I'm watching the episode again, any ideas concerning that "rumor" Qyburn told Cersei was much more than a rumor?

My non-book reading understanding is that it's basically alchemical napalm mixed with the properties of thermite, and kinda like nitro to make. So it's incredibly nasty and burns through literally everything, and only people absolutely batshit crazy would consider not only making it but storing it in volume.

There are probably stashes of it everywhere underneath King's Landing put there by the Mad King which is kind of like the self-destruct button for the city. I suppose it is hard to make. I mean we still haven't figured out the exact composition of Greek Fire.

Yeah in the GBS thread someone said something about the mad king stashing it throughout kings landing and maybe they found (some of) it? In the show don't they say something about it being fermented pig poo poo or something
