Wasn’t Cersi on Arya’s “list” of people who needed to be killed?
And if the prophecy says Cersi will be killed by her son, what if Arya wore Tommen’s face, or Jeoffrey’s for that matter? (She would be the right height.) Cersi is mad so would she lose it if her son appeared in a hallucination?
wow... nice call!
She is definitely on Arya’s list. Maybe Cersi could be under the influence of the essence of night shade or in a drunken stupor. It would be a definite series hit if Arya strangled Cersi while wearing Tommen or Joffrey’s face. WOW!
little brother not son.
I don’t see it.
The High Sparrow, Like Stannis, was a man who was doing his duty out of devotion, not self aggrandizement.
He achieved a life of wealth and luxury, which he rejected and pursed one of penitence and service.
I think Sansa has the integrity to stand by her promise, despite her dislike for Littlefinger. But he does not seem to me to be one who will settle for less than he thinks he deserves, hence he will screw up and end up room temperature.
Standard operating procedures for Westeros.
Whoops, missed Ramsay Snow/Bolton
Thanks for that.
Notice that we are seeing a shift in royalty from males to females. Nothing better and bloodier than a cat fight!!
Ah, so when he does the same dastardly things as the people he condemns, it’s okay, because everyone does it. There’s a word for that attitude. It starts with an “h” and ends with “ypocrisy”.
I was extremely pleased to see The Hound back in play in the prior episode. I can’t help by like that dude. He makes everything so cut-and-dry. :-)
Bran is the trueborn son and rightful heir to Winterfell.
Thank you.
I am pointing out that this is an accepted practice for crime and punishment in the Game of Thrones universe. The only hypocrisy here is that the elites exempt themselves from this punishment.
The High Sparrow is holding the elites to the same punishment standards that everyone else is held to.
Explain to me how making everyone equally subject to the law of the land is hypocritical?
Danaerys didn’t torch the entire fleet. She wanted to go kill everyone until Tyrion provided a better option where she would keep the majority of the Masters’ fleet for her own uses.
She made an example of one to show the others what happens when they break a negotiated agreement — strength through superior firepower.
Many more would’ve died and Mereen would’ve fallen to the Sons of the Harpy if Dany chose the vengeance route.
Yes, service as he viewed it, that included making sure everyone else yielded to his will...whether they yielded due to being broken by torture, or by soft spoken words, made no difference. That’s not service.
He was just as much a sadistic bully as the rest of the wretched lot, he was just more soft spoken. His “relevations” and threats may have always been delivered in subtle and gentle tones, but there were always armed fanatics at his back as he delivered them.
He was no different in any way, from the rest of the lords and ladies leading their armies to grow their power and influence, other than he had no high birth or money to gather followers, so he wrapped himself in “religion” to gain his loyal army.
If those you claim to help, get their “help” with your sword at their throat, you are not offering help or service, only subjugation.
Sacrificing your children for your own selfish pursuits isn't a "girl power" theme; it's quite the opposite.
I suggest re-reading the books for a fourth or fifth time.
If he did not have armed fanatics at his back, the elites would have killed him and gone back to business as usual, the man was not an idiot.
Every person that he punished, was guilty of the crimes they were accused of and would have gone unpunished if not for him.
