I don't hate Tommen that much, if anything I just don't care.

Pretty sure the thing that the Meister was talking about with Cercei was the wildfire hidden under the city by the Mad King.  Wonder if she is planning on blowing up the Septum?

Right now Cercei's plot line is the most interesting, if only because of Franken-mountain and Lena Headey's amazing performances. Unfortunately I have to think this story is the one where we are most likely to see someone get offed by the end of the season.

Good point, ALF. You know shit in Kings Landing sucks when you're on Cersei's side. I'm wondering what Maergary's angle is too? She's clearly playing the High Sparrow. Maybe she'll be the one to deliver the blow to him and or Tommen?

[nate]

The prophecy about Cercei is that all of her children will die before her.  I wonder if she will try to blow up the church of the 7 or whatever that place that the High Sparrow lives and it turns out Tommen is there too?

 

Maybe Jamie kills Tommen because he loves Cercei so much?

[TobiasFunke]

It was nice for the T-1000 to make an appearance.

 

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant the Waif....

[NJHalo]

I like that Jamie is showing a conflicted personality. Good guy one minute, bad ass the next.

[red321]

Mixed episode...think they had some "lesser" storylines tie up before the final two episodes.I think they needed to get Jamie back to King's Landing as I wouldn't be surprised to see him being forced with a choice...

Spoiler

 

Storyline seems to mirror his Kingslayer decision. If Cersei is planning to burn the city down with wildfyre, does he step in to stop it again.

 

Spoiler for book readers

Spoiler

Guess they have decided to write out Lady Stoneheart since Beric is still around.

Killing Joffrey is really turning out to be a bad decision. He was a perfect villain for the story and really made the whole "Game of Thrones" have substance because it was going to be satisfying when he finally got his in the end.

Right now, none of these stories feel like they're going anywhere and other than Dany, no one seems to even care about the Iron Throne anymore. Even her character has kind of moved away from that. She seems like she would be find staying and ruling on Essos.

I really thought the Hound was going to see her corpse in the water when he went over to take a piss. I was hoping the episode would end with him seeing her, them pulling her corpse from the water, and resurrecting her. Would have been a badass ending to the episode. Much better than I am Arya Stark.

She's been dead for...year's at this point right? (hell, if you judge it by Bran time...decades). My understanding is that Mythos can only resurrect one person at a time, so with Beric alive that slot is filled. It's fine, I don't mind...I always hated that character anyways.

Yep, I said that too.

lame, she's mimicing the broad from terminator 3. The chick from the movie was way hotter though. 

[Schildog]

I disagree about arya's arc in bravos being pointless. She's a trained assassin now.

I think they filled in nicely with Ramsey.

Two of the most hated people in all of TV.

I don't really feel like the show has completely established this. She's done some stick fighting and was able to beat the waif in the dark but she never completely finished her training.

I think that was the plan, but Ramsey is a one dimensional comic book villain, while Joffery is probably the greatest villain in television history.

[NJHalo]

I miss Joffery. You always need a good villain to hate.

That's why I think Ramsey wins or at least survives the Battle of the Bastards.

The Starks play the part of the lovable losers.

[red321]

A Song of Ice (Starks) and Fire (Targaryean)

The Starks aren't going anywhere...and at some point they need to start lining up the fight against the White Walkers.

[Jay]

Great to have The Hound back...

did luke complete his training with yoda?

[red321]

This is the speed dating version of Game of Thrones...they aren't going to spend multiple season on her training like they would have before. Probably 13 more episodes over two seasons after this season ends (based on comments from the show runners)...things are going to move a lot quicker.

My problem is they didn't show her truly assassinating anyone from what I can recall. If that's the case can we truly call her a trained assassin?

she knocked over a little jar of poison with ninja like skill, and then hauntingly pointed at the actress with the great rack.

only a trained assassin could have pulled off that maneuver.

now she can finally take on the mountain in hand to hand combat.

I think Brienne is the only person Jamie respects. Definitely something building there with there junior high waves goodbye

There has to be something that comes out of the Riverrun sequence. Right now it feels like one of those things they could've just cut out... much like most of Jamie's arc really.

[Schildog]

it makes sense though considering what he said to edmure about doing whatever it takes to get back to cersei. also shows he has a knack, although very threatening, for diplomacy. 

[AngelsLongBall]

Did Brienne mention anything about why the Starks needed to reclaim Winterfell to Jamie? I don't remember
