Protector of the Seven Kingdoms
Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea
Breaker of Chains
Mother of Dragons
The Unburnt
Queen of Meereen


and this is... Jon Snow.

 

[dowie]

haha indeed

also liked the use of rather contemporary colourful language by the queen of thrones (re: Joffrey), Euron Greyjoy while escorting the prisoners and and the crowd... I guess I can't elaborate further on here re: those choice words but you know what I'm referring to

also maybe we'll find out if Cersei likes a finger up the bum

i was half hoping a dragon would land in front of Jon or wide be ordered to attack him but it refusing...something like tbat.

well I don't think she'd try to kill him but I was curious when Jon first encountered the dragons whether he'd get close to them and whether we'd see their reaction to him... maybe next episode he'll get to meet them, or not

from 40 seconds onwards. Foreshadowing? Or i'm maybe reading too much into it.

I like the fact that some of the lines spoken are quite obviously meant for the audience rather than those they are directly speaking to. (like that chat by Littlefinger)

hrmmm. This is what i liked about Mr Robot as well. The "Wizard".....leaves little clues for all the munchkins.

 

[StriderX]

It'd be really cool if after all this story malarky that littlefinger manages to be king in some seriously deranged manner, no "happy" ending.

 

[Malevolence]

Anyone else notice Cersei's Romulan handmaiden?

 

[Hotwired]

Everyone I should imagine. Only 3 people were in the "scene" and the camera focused on them one at a time to emphasise the three warped situations.

 

[Therealjoe]

More hints that Jaime will do Cersei in, between Euron flirting with her and winding him up, and then Olenna's speech at the end.

He seems to be becoming aware of how mad she is since he came back.
Maybe all the child deaths made her mad.

I can see him riding off into the sunset considering he killed the mad king for the same stuff she is doing.

 

[Rroff]

I dunno from his speech he basically said he didn't care what Cersei did mixed with some ends justifying the means talk she'd have to take atleast one more step (in a way that affected Jamie) into the realm of madness before he would (in theory) consider doing her in otherwise it would be a bit contrived even if he was just saying that stuff to try and convince himself.

 

[Jonny2284]

I think that'll be coming soon.

I figure the last episode of this season will be the White Walkers surging south and when everyone else turns their eye towards fighting them off Cersei will be too interested in holding onto her power at the expense of everyone that he'll turn on her then for everyone's sake.

Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, the C word dates to the 13th century but only became offensive in the 18th, while the T word dates to the 17th century and has always been offensive.

I hadn't noticed it, but now you mention it that would gel well with Branhattan.

I did find the choice of language kind of broke the immersion in that scene it just seemed too out of place for the perceived time period.

I thought the same. The C word less so as it's in the books so didn't seem out of place, but the T word for sure.

There was also a few muttered other words from the background though not a clear.

seemed odd to me that cersei didn't give a damn about people seeing her in bed w/ her brother, even if it was just a maid. i seem to recall from the first seasons that that relationship, if discovered, would be grounds for their execution and their childrens' too, it seems odd she'd risk her life now, even if the children are all out the picture. having said that, some dialogue seems to suggest their "secret" isn't very at all, so it's a bit confusing.

They were worried about execution first season as she was still married to Robert, that's where the threat would come from.

Well before she wasn't actually Queen, just standing in for it for her children (or advising them). Now she is actually the boss, so can do what she likes!

Cersei will probably end up killing Brienne and that will tip Jamie over the edge

 

[Drizmod]

This Jon Snow...hes the king of the north

 

[Washout]

These sucker punches were bound to come in for the 'good guys'. Dany and her armies were just looking too powerful.
Unsullied stuck in the west with no sea escape possible. Foreign army that'll have to march across the whole country. They should head south to Dorne and pickup the Dornish spears like that first fleet was off to do. Do they even know they didn't make it though?
Tyrell's finished with presumably the bulk of their forces siding with the queen and Lannisters and following Randall Tarly.
Dany needs to get her Dothraki off dragonstone soon before she runs out of ships. Dragons or no if they get stuck there they'll starve out.
