I think we all know where the sword is going to end up...

who???????

My opinion? Jon Snow...somehow

Why would it matter if jon gets it or not?  He already has a valyrain steel, Longclaw.

I think Sam took it as a final f u to his pops, swords are like a status symbol in westeros, especially valyrian joints.
Thats why Tywin was trying to buy one before Ice came into his posession.

You cant just appoint someone to fight for you in a trial by combat, that person has to actually agree to fight. You guys forget that Tyrion asked Jamie and Bronn to fight for him against the Mountain and they both refused.

What are the chances we see a trial by seven?

I know, but Bernie Sparrow got Tommen brainwashed and the Sexy Lord at his breaking point.

He can get them to agree

 

[calibeebee]

I like the idea of Jaime "throwing a big bag of gold at bronn" to go do some work in the high sparrow. Bronn would have a field day against those pansies

 

[Brownstone]

I just have a reaction of *yawns* every time we get to Dany's scenes. I couldn't care less about that story line at this point. 

 

[HNL HI]

Brienne and Jamie reunion next week

I got this from Reddit seems dope.

I think Arya finishes her training by choosing not to kill the actor.
If you see the smug look on the waifs face when jaqen tells her to do it, it suggests it's the waif who harbors feelings of hatred. I think arya's training was to purge her sense of revenge against those who wronged her.
The faceless started out by giving the gift of death to those who wanted it, an act of mercy.
Arya "killing" the hound was ostensibly an act of mercy.
Jaqen, I reckon, is a very good judge of character. He knew she wouldn't kill the actress.
Her last test will be killing the waif, eg dealing with those who come after her. It is the waif who failed the training.

 

[IATT]

How funny would it be at Cersei's trial, that she goes in there flexing because she got the Mountain, but Bernie Sparrow picks Tommen to fight for the church.

That's a good theory. I always just though the Waif kicking Arya's *** would mean she'd be overconfident in their final battle and Arya would get a lucky kill. Jaqen doesn't seem to concerned about the Waif anyway.

Yup Dirk might get them cheeks clapped.

And I would love for Bernie to choose Tommen to fight for the faith..dude mind as well be dead

Yeah, I noticed that when Area asked about the last dude she was sent to kill, Jay-Z gave a reason why he must die. That he was a bad man ripping off widows.

This time, he just said "they paid us, do it"

 

[Master Zik]

Anybody else keep out the fear in Kevan Lannister's face when the kingsguard were in their attack positions?

I was cracking up at the uncle Ben part. Dude was like a live version of a RPG character with the way he was pulling out weapons at random. He killed those wights so many different ways

Son made it seem so routine. Word to a RPG indeed. Knew he had to crush the wights that are mostlynskeleton while the ones still rotting corpses needed to be burned and slashed up

The High Sparrow's fall will be quicker than his rise to power.


Lord of the light will see to that.


If you can't see how fragile the hold he now has I don't know what to tell you. Dude got like 20 faith militant. Sure the poor ppl are on his side and may riot under the right circumstances but they are not his army. Not to mention he's only taken advantage of an opportunity LF created and in the grand scheme of things it is way too premature. Even worse if he actually thinks he converted Margery. Tommen ain't lasting long as long either way. What you think would happen if the Tyrell's had him killed? Sparrow got nobody to recognize his power then.


Sparrow strikes me as the type to sneak out when **** goes down anyway if he doesn't die.

see.. I don't the sparrow and LF are playing the same game.. or at least not playing for the same results

sure, I think they are both playing the same type of game (courting and creating chaos).. but I don't think the HS wants to be "king of the ashes"

He definitely doesn't, he seems to be content to be the shadow pupeteer controlling the crown while also being the public face of the faith.

It really took me back to when I was watching the Borgias. He's just scheming and manipulating for a different ends.

I also like the idea he isn't faithful at all. Doesn't believe in any of this **** (the religion just seems like blind faith and a bunch of rules, I've yet to see any magic on his side not even some body hit the floor you are blessed faith healing) just saw the opportunity of who was king, the state of the poor in KL and just started pretending to be about that faithful life like any common modern day scamming pastor/preacher to amass power.

The champion has to be chosen though... At least that is how it always has been. They have volunteered (or bought by tyrion (bronn)) to fight as the champion for the person who is under trail. I doubt tommon would volunteer to get cut into pieces by the mountain.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

Tommen is their most valuable asset
If he dies, the faith will get purged instantly

 

[dragicon]

Anybody have any theories for little fingers end game? Iron throne? King of winterfell? Any thoughts?

Now if he accomplished that, I'd give him props. You get a king with no kinds of combat skills to be so bamboozled he thinks he can take on the Mountain

we see it all the time with ALOT of the leaders of these religious groups.. but usually they're doing for their own financial gain (and it's obvious they are taking advantage of folks)

or we'll see politicians that will cater to certain ignorant groups (inclusive of religious groups)

seeing his interactions with certain characters, you can tell he's a sharp dude.. almost too sharp to blindly follow the religious crap that he's selling

with melisandre, the brothers without banners or even the new priestess.. in their private interactions with people, you see that they are hardcore that thing

with the sparrow you see him making moves depending on the individual and the circumstances

 

[IATT]

I can see a the sparrow telling tommen that cersei really isn't atoning for her crimes with a trail by combat.. and by tommen representing the faith she would be forced to admit her sins or some other BS (since she wouldn't want her son to die).. sell he on what a great kind would do and all that, use he naivety against him

could easily see tommen buying into that crap and thinking he's going end everything without a fight and it will all be peaceful again..

then the sparrow could bring back the bastard charges, and tommen's right to the throne

 

[danger style]

How much can they put cersei through

 

[IATT]

maybe she should have taken ned up on his offer

See again, now if he pulls that off then I'd give him major props cuz then he's probably the guy choosing the next king, **** a council.

I just think Margery is gonna step in to the game when this really plays out next season minus any shocking deaths before this season ends.

maybe she should have taken ned up on his offer

Word. Would've been safe in Casterly Rock with all 3 of her children alive, free to bang her brother all she wants.

On the flip, Ned would've been a good stand-in king if it wasn't for anymore ppl plotting to take the throne. Show would be so different if it was Dany coming for Ned's head

 

[shogun]

tommen may be dumb but he ain't suicidal. No way in hell he'd want to fight zombie robert strong.

 

[Mark Antony]

Tommen gotta get popped. I dislike him even more than Joffrey because he's such a *****.
