I WANT THIER HEADS!!!
Tommen na mumu now
He has never had sex bfore,d first sex with magery opened his eye and immediately after that magery took total control of his life..Mumu

The marriage is not yet consumated according to episode 7.

jmaine:
Maybe Yara and gang will come in handy to kick their sorry arzz from behind or Drogon will have some feast.

I go with the Yara option. Drogon doesnt seen interested, he flew away after dropping his mother.

What happens to Mereen under seige by the masters?

InesQor:
Some possible theories:
(a) Wildfire (though this shouldn't be a rumor anymore. Tyrion used it in the past already. The rumor might be that the wildfire is located beneath the Septum, making it easy to take out the High Sparrow and his crew).
(b) Rumor that Tyrion is with Daenerys - and so Cersei may be considering an alliance
(c) Rumor that the Tyrells orchestrated Joffery's death. Implicating Maergery might turn King Tommen around.
(d) A rumor that undermines the High Sparrow's credibility and shows that he is a hypocrite. Some evidence of dirty linen e.g. the high sparrow is a paedophile, or something like that, could change the scene.

A man is getting tired of all the interesting theories - only to finally see an underwhelming plot on TV.

She is already undermined in court. She called the high septon's bluff by killing his man. She needs to act fast to save her neck. The wildfire is her last resort.

siempere:
Most probably Wildfire...maybe she plans to burn Kings landing to the ground.....

Most likely she will use the wildfire, unless Jamie gets back in time with his army.

siempere:
So its now a tradition not to show us when some people are killed eh...kwa...ordinary D waif killing I've bn waiting....D& won't even deliver....I would've given a foot to see d look of death on her face....after all d torture she gave A girl.....

If not for the face hanging on the wall, thats another 3 pages of 'she killed her/ she didnt kill her'.

siempere:
....ooh...shit....though dat loud mouthed street urchin that got his head bashed in by d hound...insinuated he had a tiny pecker....only a horse can do that...ouch!!!....

That was the most uneventful death in GOT.

siempere:
....ooh boy!!!.....cercei...did someone dynamite u??

She was Jaimed.

Vickyydera:
I just dont want game of thrones season 6 to end soon, I wish its episode will reach 22 like others I know of. I'm getting depressed already. My top notch TV series are just ending anyhow. From Empire,teen wolf,salem,to Grimm, now Got will end soon. So sad.

There lots in tv series achive to choose from.

Nihilist:
I don't think I did...and I suspect that you are the one missing my point.

Your point was that the High Sparrow is secretly using the faith as a vehicle for his ambition.I don't know if you are very conversant with Nigerian politics, but the high sparrow's rise to power is very similar to Jonas'

Both were initially granted power by their patrons. Both then consildated this power on a platform of populist rhetoric of transformation, intended to resonate heavily with a disenfranchised population far disconnected from the ruling class.

Eventually Jonathan's message of transformation and hope would be discovered to be false...and while a similar exposure of the High Sparrow's message has yet to happen on the show, you(and many others) already believe his message to be false as well.

Anyway, my point has been thus: Even taking in to consideration the idea thar the high sparrow is a charlatan, and merely using religion as a cloak for his real goal of political power, why do we not still suport him...especially as he represents the common man?

It's not like the other candidates are particularly pursuing altruistic agendas in their quest for the throne.

Rob Stark and the Baratheons were ready to kill and would ultimately die for a stolen mandate.

Danaerys is currently destroying several cities in succession as she pursues her nakedd ambition to her grandfather's old chair.

So why shouldnt the high sparrow use (false)religious fervor to his favour much in the same way the other contestants use their bloodlines and ancient sworn oaths?

Now I get your point.

Nihilist:
Every single character on the show craves power. Isn't that the whole point of the show? To showcase the machinations and politicking involved when chasing the ultimate prize?

Danaerys goes around destroying civilisations and cultures that have stood for several years. Jon Snow and Sansa are both waging a war for a title that was stolen by their father.

Why shouldn't we salute the common shoeless man, who rose from obscurity and schemed his way into the corridors of power? At least we applauded his real life analogue

Talking of real life analogue, if you meant Jona, then you miss my point entirely.

Santino1:
Fair point Akanniade.

The reason I don't like him is from a story telling perspective. Ever since his introduction, most of the King Landing's plotlines (Cerise, Maegery, Lady Olenna) have kinda stalled. I love the old King Landing where you have complex webs of plots and subplots.

I share your sentiments. Lets hope the high sparrow is just s brief distraction and the houses get back to slugging it out.

Ignorant Reno. Royalty is not only about chewing kola and consulting ancestors. The present Ooni is an investor and a developer. He is using his influence to bring potential investors to ile-ife.

Nihilist:
Great observation.
I'm not sure why people don't seem to like the high sparrow - In a world where rulership is determined by birth rather than by merit, where absolute power is only attainable to certain bloodlines, and where people would go to extreme lengths tof achieve this power, the High Sparrow represents the common man; risen up to seize his own destiny from the undeserving, immature and incompetent Tommens of this world.
Yet most people tend to identify more with Danaerys and Jon Snow or Arya. What does this say about us as people though?
Are we mostly an audience of nascent dictators unconsciously waiting for a chance to conquer, subdue and murder whole cities?

Cos he's pretentious like his real world counterparts. Feigning ecclesiastical zeals while destroying fellow men. His weakness may not be money, wine, whores etc, but he craves power.
He is the most dangerous of all. He plays them like a chessmaster

Seun:
Most people have failed to notice that the High Sparrow tricked Queen Maegery into sending away her greatest ally - her grandmother. If he really wanted to arrest Olenna, it would have been foolish to share his plans with her grand-daughter.

It will blow up in his face. He counted on Margery informing Olena. Olena in turn is instigating Cersie. Cersie has......

Ranchhoddas:
The Iron Bank did not grant his loan request.

Yes they did. Ser Davos brokered the deal. He used the money to hire Salladhor Saan's fleet to sail from dragonstone to the wall.
How do you think Stannis was able to arrive in time to defeat Mance's army.

A question.
Who pays Stannis'a debt to the iron bank of Braavos?

a. Debt is written off.

b. Debt is paid by the crown

c. Iron bank forecloses Baratheon assets.

Margery is smart after all. Asks Olena to leave for high gardens. Olena prods Cersie to leave knowing she wont. Olena leaves. Cersie is forced fight back. Judging by the trailer, episode 8 is......

UjSizzle:
Darn she made me cringe


Where is Melissandre?

This one will read Melissandre like a book.

Vickyydera:
It almost had to have been Jaquen that pose as Arya. We've
seen him use Arya's face before, last season.
Arya had untold amounts of cold, hard cash
and beautiful clothes seemingly from
nowhere. Her dialogue wasn't consistent with
her character. Arya also wouldn't be stupid
enough to let her guard down like that. I say
Jaquen lured the waif (who has now
disobeyed him) and is posing as Arya in a very
public way, thus giving more credence to her
death. I don't know but if you put all the details
together it makes sense that a girl wasn't
arya last night...
Never are we shown that she get a lot of
money....she didn't seem to get a lot while
begging.
Also Jaquen walks with his two hands behind his back, arya dont walk like that ,she also didn't have her needles.

I concur with your theory. Arya cant just retrogress, after all the trainings she got.

oyetpel:
Shout out to Ser Davos for knowing how to talk to really
smart 10 year olds. We miss all miss you princess
Shireen.

Yes o, Shireen of blessed memory. Those are children, not these stark brats turning the world upside down, even the bastard among them dont know how to stay dead.

agrovick:
Hehehehehe, that Mormont episode is just damn hilarious, the way the lass was talking; one would have been expecting an army of at least 5000.
As for Arya, I give up on that girl, how can she be be so careless.

62! I thought it was going to be 62,000.

Kudos to the onion knights though. He has been the the best broker in the series.

agrovick:
A man thinks this week's episode is a waste of time and MB. Mtcheeeww

Every episode cant be sensational. Much revelations and food for speculations in this episode.

For instance, we now know Cersie is in deep shit. Sansa is writing for help. Hound is pissed off at lord of light. Arya is foolish as ever. Margery has a rose up her sleeve. . Yara is gay . Lady Mormont is smarter than all stark children put together.

UjSizzle:
So which of the gods kept her alive

The tree gods (her father's gods)
The seven (her mother's gods)
The many faced god (she's supposedly serving)
The god of light (that kept her bro)

Hmmm

Fools dont die easily.

Given the screentime allowed so far, I dont think the Euron of the book will be same as that of the show.

UjSizzle:
Reminds me of this :
How dangerous is Euron Greyjoy?

Euron is crazy and ambitious.

Joffrey was a little crazy, too. He only wanted the power to be cruel when he wanted because it got him off or because internalized his mother’s admonitions to ‘be strong’ in a weird way. Not that smart though.

Ramsay is a little crazier and a little smarter. He wants to play with people’s mind. Destroy them and kill them in horrific ways. He takes care of threats. He’s pre-emptive, pro-active.

Various other people have displayed ambition, yearning for the the power of kingship, for various reasons:

Stannis for his right and for justice
Renly because he looked good in a crown
Robb for Northern nationalism
Mance Rayder for survival of a people
Balon Greyjoy because it’s just fun to mess things up when you get a chance.
Daenerys for glory, vengeance and a dream of human rights(at least at the beginning.)
Euron is different.


Euron says he’s going for the Iron Throne. But he’s not.

Euron wants to rule the world. Euron wants to be God. Euron wants to bring on the bloody apocalypse and laugh like crazy when the world dies bleeding, flaming, drowned or frozen at his feet. Euron wants to take the bleeding red comet and shove it up the world’s arse.

Euron takes your rational ambition, your reason, eats it, shits it out and feeds it to his own bastard sons, whose tongues he’s ripped out. Euron eats his own kind because that is the kind of thing that makes him laugh.

Then he pumps you full of LSD, ties you up, flays his girlfriend alive in front of your face, demands that you bow down and worship him and calls forth Deep Ones from the bottom of the sea to take over the universe.

Dude is nuts.

Definitely makes Ramsay look like child's play.

All this from just 2 episodes of Euron. Dont raise your hopes too high.

Not peculiar to Nigeria. Venezuela is worse off. Overdependence on oil is causing us this crises not PMB.

JhyMedex:

LAUGHED MASEF 2 TEARS...

Lord Tyrell, be a good man. Fetch my quill and paper.


Not now, Mace, Lord Tywin and I are speaking!
Lord Mace Tyrell is chided by his mother, Olenna

Decent, eccentric guy, at least they still find him useful in court. Shame his attempt to rescue his children was thwarted by the high sparrow.

Cult of Chris.

JhyMedex:
IS IT JST ME OR DOES SOME1 ELSE FIND DT LORD TYRELL SCENE FUNNY..? .
MADNESS HAS HAD IT'S DAY!!!?.. C'MON
WTF... WAT CRACKED ME UP MORE DAN HIS SPEECH WAS D DEVOTION N DEDICATION HE EMPLOYED WEN SAYIN IT

The silence after his speech was deafening. The showrunners make the guy get less credits than he deserves.

Lady Olenna Tyrell: The city is made brighter by my presence? Is that your usual line, Lord Varys? Are you here to seduce me?
Lord Varys: A little obvious, perhaps.
Lady Olenna Tyrell: Oh, no, please! Seduce away, it's been so long. Though I rather think it's all for naught. What happens when the nonexistent bumps against the decrepit?
[Varys looks down at his crotch, then back at Olenna, at a loss for words]
Lady Olenna Tyrell: A question for the philosophers. But you've come mincing all this way for something. So?
