I fail to see how that rumor being true is of any use to Cersei short of burning King's Landing to the ground...? I mean, a season or so ago, I read something about Cersei/Jamie/Tywin vowing to burn cities to the ground for their house/name/love/children/etc. being a common theme and therefore a pretty solid foreshadowing, but to what end? Raze the capital to the ground and then chill in Casterly Rock with no income sources?

Yes, it's worth it. And Cersei is crazy enough to burn the city to the ground. Her plans have all the foresight of an invasion into Iraq.

Mad King's stockpiles were collected under Cersei/Tyrion- or maybe that was just a book thing? Pigshit is what a skeptic (Bronn, Tyrion) thought of alchemists and their concoctions prior to learning the truth. I don't recall any of the dialogue when not-Maester dispatched the kiddos. Did he specifically target just the High Sparrow?

Victor Vermis posted:Mad King's stockpiles were collected under Cersei/Tyrion- or maybe that was just a book thing? Nope, not specifically, but their exchange certainly makes it seem like it's something to give them leverage over him. On second thought, I kinda doubt it's wildfire for the specific reason that Cersei had enough of it manufactured to lob at an invading fleet/taken away by Tyrion, why would the rumor be that they've found more wildfire when they could just have churned out a shitton of it by that crazy pyromancer? I'm thinking it's more something they could use to expose the High Sparrow/faith militant regarding either his/their past or some poo poo they're currently pulling that may not be quite kosher.

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. White phosphorus?

gfanikf posted:Since I kind of only got into the show via my wife around 4 season, I know Wildfire is like napalm, but is it something really hard to make? In the books it's at least semi-magical. One of the sub plots in the books that the show hasn't really talked about that much is the state of magic in the world. Basically the world was full of magic and it vanished a long time ago as evidenced by things like the dragons dying off. Its been gone for so long that most normal people no longer believe in it at all which is why no one believes the Night's Watch when they say the White Walkers are back. For some reason though magic is starting to return to the world: the White Walkers are back, dragons are back, Red Priests can suddenly bring people back from the dead, etc. The Alchemist Guild who makes wildfire actually used to be the primary advisors to the nobility before the Maesters. Their influence waned as magic died off because their methods stopped working whereas the Maesters use a quasi-enlightenment era rationality that doesn't rely on magic. In the books the remaining Alchemists tell Cersi that their production of wildfire is well ahead of schedule because their formulas are suddenly "producing more then they used to."

The great secret will probably involve exposing the Sparrow for some great sins he committed in the past. Of course he'll spin it to show how even a sinner such as himself can be redeemed and it will blow up in Cersei's face like all her other plans. Let's face it, King's Landing has gone full Wahhabi. At least Margaery showed she wasn't completely brainwashed and got grandma out of town.

Is Varys returning to wipe his saved Login from their tablets? But yeah unless they're just cramming more Cersei-humbling into the show, it wont be that.

The Sparrow is a combination of St. Augustine and Rodrigo Borgia. A man who lived a wild youth, found God and atoned, yet when he gained power his vices came back.

ManMythLegend posted:In the books it's at least semi-magical. That actually explains things about the series I've been wondering a lot. I mean people clearly can do crazy magical poo poo, but it seems kind of rare to borderline non existent. Also did the Cleangebowl theory require them fighting in the trial by combat? If so that explains why people say the theory is dead, as opposed to if it's just the two of them just having a general Hoss Off fight.

According to r/Cleganebowl (of course this is a thing), it's still on. Their idea is that the Mountain and the BWB will eventually cross paths.

The Mountain may be kingsguard, but he's Cersei's pet. The only way Tommen has anything to do with him is to send him away in hopes he gets rekilled.

I'm watching each episode the day after it airs before my girlfriend gets home because she isn't caught up yet. She's on season 4 and were binging that at night to catch her up. It's confusing as gently caress to keep up with the old poo poo and the new poo poo, plus I read all the books a while ago. Anyways, trying to remember-do we ever see volantis? I know Robb's wife was from there but that's all I can remember. Someone tell me it's really obvious please.

Was at a bar with a couple of buddies yesterday and that article about HBO suing Pornhub came up. Eventually, someone asks whethere pornhub was putting up compilations of GoT-titties (which would have been the more obvious explanation), or porn parodies...and I didn't really know, so I set out to google that today. Before getting an answer to that question, I found out two surprising things: 1. The actress that played Shae is German. 2. She's done copious amounts of porn That is all.
