I very much agree. Not only that, but I don't feel the random mention of "HEY, REMEMBER YOU KILLED A KING?! EVERYBODY, THEY CALL JAMIE THE KINGSLAYER, BECAUSE HE BETRAYED AND KILLED THE KING HE WAS SERVING." in the party...wasn't random.Samtemdo8 said:Exactly I mean again the look on Jamie's face when he saw Cersei's coronation. It was not enthusiam but a stern look.Happyninja42 said:I have a feeling that Jamie is going to turn on Cersei at this point. That she's gone so far over the edge that even he can't support her any further. I could be wrong there, given the things he's done for her and their children, but all the children are dead now, partly due to her actions, and she did something that he wouldn't allow the Mad King to do (blow up a goodly chunk of King's Landing), so he might see that as going too far. *shrugs*
I thought the episode was good but I don't know if this is intensified was because of how weak the rest of the season was. Well, I certainly hope the next season would be better. They've shaken things up now, so maybe they won't face the same pitfalls as now and can keep the story moving.
Anyway, I wanted to ask two things:
1) Am I remembering correctly - there are no more of the young Lannisters? All the children are dead now, right?
2) Does anybody know what was up with Varys? I wasn't sure if him going from Dorne to besides Denny was an ommission, or maybe they didn't show the passage of time well, or perhaps it was supposed to imply something I missed (dunno - magic for him to "appear" as if he's in two places?).
EDIT: forgot to mention in relation to the episode: I was quite glad the writers decided to terminate the High Sparrow's contract and fire him. Yes, pun intended. But still - he was just so annoying to watch all the time with the whole smug "ha-HA! I'm 17.3141592 moves ahead of you once again!" thing he had all the time.
A shame for Margeary, though. I feel they wasted her entire plotline this season. It was always suggested he had some sort of ace up her sleeve about the whole "embrace the faith" situation but...that was it? She didn't really get more than that for the entire time. A-a-and, now she's burnt to a crisp.
Then again, knowing the writers, I'll not be surprised if she managed to survive and shows up again next season. With the amount of resurrections there've been of late, it starts to feel like a comic book universe.
