NSFW boobs!

This hit the nail on the head really well for me. I always hated the **** out of joffrey (like everyone else), but both him and tywin were exceptionally well written characters who brought so much to the show. there's just something..missing this season.

there's been a couple of good scenes and episodes this season, but overall impression is not great compared to earlier seasons. it all just sort of feels random.

Stannis mentioned leeches, and she dismissed it. I'm guessing they need a *lot* of blood.

I swear if they kill that girl....but yeah, that's what it's all about. Gonna be a rough one fo sho.

The actress who plays one of the other sand snakes is Keisha Castle-Hughes (I think she's the one who threw the spear at the dude's head), whom I *believe* is the only Oscar nominated actor in the cast so far.

Her New Zealand movie Whale Rider is outstanding btw. And she's fantastic in it. Youngest Best Actress nominee of all time. Pointless sidebar.

Not enough plot advancement this season and way too many story lines.

They haven't been showing us much filler in Dorne, so I don't think the interaction between Bronn and magic boobs is just the start of some sappy love story. Guessing she asks him to kill Myrcella or Jamie. We know Bronn will kill anyone for enough money, but would he do it for a good pair of tits?

yeah, too many story lines, and yet we haven't even seen a single scene with Bran/Hodor lol

I have felt this way about the show from the beginning. It may be an unpopular opinion, but I've always thought that they could develop certain characters much more if they had fewer story lines.

But maybe it's the way it is so they can kill them all off at some point.

might as well make it a 90 minute movie amirite

not as hard to follow

Yeah Bronn vs. Jamie for the fate of Myrcella would definitely qualify as GRRM-level sadism. I hope it doesn't happen, but in any case I do agree Bronn and the sand snakes are not done with each other.

i dont think it's unreasonable to think that the sand hos don't take it personal and they respect bronn's valor and skill in battle- as has already been mentioned, he's a sellsword and has no special allegiance to the lannisters, baratheons, or any other westerosi house. i'm thinking it's possible that the dornish sand hos are trying to turn him and that they will likely succeed in doing so, because they got that magic pussy and are masters at fooking and foighting

It also plays into the theme that Dornish people in general are all huge freaks and pervs.

Hodor

Just waiting for the ban for rep.

Misogyny already been heavily moderated here.

What happened to the Hound goddammit!!!!

Will the Religious freaks in KL go as far as to kill the King and Cersei when they found out about the incest? Who is coming to the rescue?( The Mountain/Frankenstein) What will Tommen attempt to do now that mummy and first love are locked up?

At last 2 characters and story arcs meet with Dany and Tyrion meeting up. Varys on the way too surely.

Boltons and Stannis clash giving Sansa her chance to escape? Battle doesn't look too good for Stannis, could it be his time to die clearing the way for Dany to sweep into Westeros next season.

Last 3 episodes had better be good. WOAT season from potential GOAT series.

It's difficult to keep track of all these story lines, especially since many of them aren't exactly compelling.

I thought the end of this episode was rushed.

What would Sansa's position be if both Roose and ramsey die? It seems like that could put her in charge of the Bolton forces which would make Littlefinger's plan come together very nicely. After Stannis clashes with the Boltons, Littlefinger would sweep in with the Knights of the Vale, pick up the remainder of the Bolton forces, and crush Stannis.

Roose could easily die in battle and Ramsey might get a corkscrew in the neck from Sansa. Sansa then promptly handing the forces over to Littlefinger would be completely consistent with her character.

Wives retain no title after the death of their husband. If Roose and Ramsey die, then whomever is next in line would take control (someone like Roose's brother, cousin, etc.). Sansa would have zero power over the Bolton.

That said, some would still consider her the rightful Warden (Wardeness) of the North since they do not agree that the Bolton's have that title. In that sense the remaining Bolton forces may follow her, but I think that is unlikely as many (most) of them participated in the Red Wedding, and I think they would be pretty fearful of retribution and would just want to get out of Winterfell alive.

any bolton force would probably just be wiped off they arent just sellswords they are traitors of the old wardens of the north and deemed villainous/untrustworthy/scum , the north got plenty of villagepeasants to fil up winterfell inner workings, Id imagine it is quite pleasant to work within the castle rather than in the fields/villages esp now when the WINTER IS COMING. As for any army, they oblige to whoever is in power and if the north as a whole considers her the true warden of the north being the only living Stark left, well then the army that stays behind(most likely a small piece of stannis) will serve her.

Nice idea that the mountain just rapes everything and frees cersei, possibility but that would pretty ******ed as if the knightsguard cant do anything I dont see how one man can.

Worldmap wise it sure looks like a possibility that Littlefinger just comes riding in with the Vale army and cleans up, he can then be the gentle man Sansa always wanted and marry her for true power of the north and give her some friendly D instead of evil ramsey D.

Roose's kid probably isn't sure for a while, right? Seems like that's enough of a plot point (brought up 3 separate times) that Ramsey has to either survive to the birth or push his fat stepmother down some stairs.

Good question, considering the two chicks locked up are the two people who have been manipulating him the whole time. Without either one of them around he'll probably seek counsel from somebody else. Is there anybody in King's Landing that would be up for giving the King some good advice?

Up the Chaos Ladder we climb

or if they all get got it becomes moot, which i think is the most likely outcome.

i think the complaints about this season are becoming pretty tiresome. i was feeling a bit meh about it but the last few episodes have been pretty strong. i thought this one was excellent.

i don't think jorah is going to spread greyscale like crazy, it's not an unknown disease in essos, they deal with it and know how to respond (which is why there are stone men in old valyria, because they are sent there from other cities, and yet all of essos isn't all 28 days later or anything). it's possible he could infect a few other people of interest, but most likely he's just done for.

i think the dany plot is actually more interesting this season than at any other point. to me the weakest tangent has been the jamie / bronn bro-down in dorne, i can't really see logically where that's going or what it's supposed to bring about other than maybe killing off jamie, which i would be fine with.

high sparrow turning on cersei was a great great great twist. gotta love it. i don't think LF was taking credit for turning lancel on cersei when he spoke to olenna, or if he was it's shoddy writing. he was totally unaware of lancel until he bumped into him an episode or two back and the sparrow seemed to be saying that he knew lancel's story well before that. seems clear that the sparrow is not being manipulated by anyone but in fact is running his own agenda.

so given that i don't really know what handsome boy LF is promising to olenna. unless he somehow has gendry. but i don't see how gendry's lineage is really of any use since it can't be proven. he's good for making demon babies with the red lady but it's not like he would actually have a relevant claim himself, or give any information that would matter for succession purposes. LF must mean tommen but i don't see how he already knows / plans to access him.

whoever said mountain needs to show up and rampage... yeah, for real. there are a lot of random loose ends floating out there and i'd like to see a couple of them cashed in. mountain going all frankenstein... hound possibly showing up in winterfell... brienne doing something other than looking pensive and determined... thoros of myr rolling up on robyn arron in the vale... lots of potential.

arya storyline has been a bit slow but not bad. i'm just assuming that her arc is really important to the next season or two and they need to get her all trained up to murderball mfers in the meantime. seems like a lot of people whine about any "arc" that doesn't involve a lot of bloodshed, there's a lot of character development going on with arya that's interesting imo but a lot of you neckbeards only care about her insofar as she's going all thelma and louise with mr. clegane.

same goes for the KL storyline, if you aren't hyped for the payoff of cersei basically undoing herself and burning her own house down i don't know what to tell you. to make it complete she probably has to watch tommen die and get myrcella's head mailed to her in a box to fulfill that prophecy from ep 1 before she gets whacked herself. which you turds will probably like because lol murder.

and the people making fun of complaints about the rape scene miss the point. i was kind of on the fence about it personally. but regardless of which side you're on you could at least respond to the other rationally and understand it... or nah, this is the internet. critics are not saying that rape is taboo but child murder is ok... they're saying that this particular rape does nothing to advance the plot and tells us nothing new about any of the characters involved, and is thus gratuitous. some of the arguments beyond that seem to verge into forbidden territory for this thread and i won't go into them. but to me we don't know if that rape is gratuitous and does nothing to advance the plot until we see what happens between the main players in winterfell... so i am reserving judgment. but one valid critique of the show for a while now has been the tendency to wrap up a meandering episode with a shocky reveal or grisly event that may or may not really matter to the overall plot... and if this one eventually seems to land in that category, i'll be siding with the critics.

Oh yes
