Davos is a criminal, Gilly helped murder her husband, Edd is going bald far too young and Sam is really, really fat.

'Good' died with Gren in that tunnel.

Yeah but he straight up sought her out and strangled her to death then shot Tywin with a crossbow when he was taking a poo poo so not really "heroic actions".

Trying to find a map of Westeros with a scale on it because I'm a horrible nerd. Arya would've taken a boat to Maidenpool or the Saltpans and taken a horse (presumably) on the King's Road toward the Twins. Assuming she's riding hard and isn't waylaid by bandits I think she'd make it there in a week. None of that matters really. The real question is, where did she find the time and space to grind up the Freys into pies and how long has she been back in Westeros? She could've been back ages ago since things are non-linear now.

Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr are good dudes and Davos is the best goddamn person in the show or books. Barristan Selmy is also cool, and good, and alive.

Uh, she was in Tywin's bed. He definitely was not expecting to run into her, nor was he doing anything in cold blood.

She was the serving girl who was "flirting" with Jaime in the previous scene. She'd been scoping the scene for some time before making her move.

I'll say Sansa and Arya are not far off from being as bad as show Cersei at this point tbh. Also Bran committed one of the worst acts in the show and Jon was completely game for leaving everyone for dead until Sansa manhandled him into fighting.

And people think the Starks are as close as we have to good guys. The show still has morally ambiguous characters, it just has cartoon villains like Euron, Joff and Ramsay who make everyone else seem like saints.

I don't think anyone was arguing Bran for being a good guy. Bran and Meera had seemingly zero remorse for forcing Hodor to hold the door for them, they just seemed concerned about whether it was going to hold long enough for them to get away.

The Iron Island is really supposed to be medieval CPR. They call it the Kiss of Life. Damphair just sat there and stared at him because Euron used to molest him when he was a kid.

A character that perfectly matches Aeron's description is in several scenes in both S2 and S6, but he's never named on-screen. Just another tidbit thrown in for book readers. He may become Aeron if the plot needs it, or he might never be seen again, or maybe he'll become Victarion, who knows.

There's no way that Cersei doesn't plot to blow up all of King's Landing with wildfire and Jaime kills her. I don't think Cersei probably knew about the plot maybe?

Cersei is probably so arrogant that she won't appoint a small council, plus this means the show doesn't have to hire any more actors.

He's calling the priest in the show Damphair and then using the inference from the book that Euron in the show was also Brother BadTouch

He's apparently named Aeron in the script, but is for all intents and purposes just a generic priest of the Drowned God as far as season 6 is concerned. It might get expanded on if Euron is actually going to be a major villain in season 7.

Euron did not participate in any ceremony in the books, and Aeron's official reason for opposing him is his godlessness.

E: LoL resurrection and Wight zombifications are the only ways that people have been raised from the dead. Drogo and the Mountain were dying from poison, but I don't think they actually died before they came back as zombies, and the Night's King was definitely alive when the Children turned him into Ice Dad.

I guess since "fly" can also mean run, maybe it could have tied into the three-eyed raven prophecy.

I think the difference there is that Tommen is already really really dead whereas the Mountain was slowly dying from poison when Qyburn got to him so he was able to work some of his zombie fuckery.

Quite frankly there shouldn't have been a body to show Cersei, though I guess that depends on how high up the window he jumped from was.

My roommate and I figured that's what's going to happen. And then Jeyne just dissolves into the mist and Sansa and Jon's story of her trying to get power from him will spin off from there. And actually work better since LF will have been schoolingher the whole time and she didn't just run to him to be rescued, but whatever! The show is gonna give us an ending!

Let's do the space-time warp again!

For reference, the observation deck on the Empire State building is on the 86th floor, more than a 1000ft up, and that jump can leave a perfectly viewable corpse.

Also I don't think there is really any drop from which people splatter. If your parachute doesn't open you're going to be a mess, but people aren't water balloons, they don't just erupt into a mist when they hit something sufficiently hard.
