    Tbh I don't think Arya will get to kill anyone else who matters. Don't think Arya will get the kill on Cercei, or UnGregor.

    I suspect she'll at least get a solid chance on Cersei, but something will happen to prevent it.

    Jaime will probably end up doing the deed in a Kingslayer parallel near the end of the series. That or zombiebro will turn on her.

    That said, the show did set up a bit of a false dichotomy. There were plenty of ways to punish the Umbers and Karstarks that weren't as extreme as attaining them. Let them keep the castle but take away some of it's supporting lands, or the ever-popular option of rearranging taxes so they have to pay more and the loyal lords pay less.

    That's something to consider once the ice demons with zombie armies are dealt with.

    I know tv shows has a far wider berth in including depth to stories, but if they start inserting scenes debating tax regulation I'd be damn well surprised.

    As for the episode itself, managed to not even spoil the cameo in the days since release, quite proud of myself. Wasn't that bad, probably because I barely recognised him, ended up figuring it out via google afterwards.

    Arya remains my favourite, yet remains a hypothetically OP part. The character development seems, as others have said, to lead to not hating everyone affiliated with her list. I'm expecting her to finish her list and then die as a result, having a faceless man just running around killing on command with no cost seems to reduce the Game to a fix-it-fic. If she ends up in domestic bliss with Gendry I'll kms.

    Additionally, got to say I was glad I had finished eating prior to Samwells scene. I don't shy away from graphic scenes but that stuff actually made me queasy. Could've been less... explicit.

    Part of me really hopes that Tyrion gets to be the one to finally deal with the mad queen. While some think Jaime will be the one, it might be tricky to properly choke her with just one hand.

    Cersei has spent most of her life convinced that Tyrion is going to kill her (that part of the prophecy was in the show, right?), it makes much more sense for her character for her to have been worrying about the wrong brother the whole time. Anything other than Jaime killing her (and dying himself soon after) just seems weird to me.

    It's rather obvious that Jaime is going to kill Cersei. Only question is if he makes it a mutual suicide, or just a regular murder. Show version is probably going to have a mutual suicide by wildfire (seems fitting), while book version is most likely going to have him choke her (either with his remaining hand, or by shoving his golden one into her throat).

    The little brother murder prophecy isn't in the show, only the one about her marrying the king and her children dying.

    Jamie could always beat her to death with his golden hand, but I really hope it's Tyrion who gets to kill her.

    I'm predicting Cersei will kill Tyrion, making Jaime finally realize how fucking crazy she is and forcing him to once again stain his honor by killing the person he's supposed to protect.

    I was about to say who gives a flying shit but... Daniel Abraham, C.J. Cherryh, Robin Hobb, Ken Liu, Scott Lynch, and Garth Nix. Hell to the yes I will pay for your Thrones fanfiction.

    Really liked the first episode, I figured it was Arya as soon as you saw Walder Frey. I think she was going to kill the soldiers, but then couldn't once she had had their food and drink, or that she realized they were not like the others she had encountered.

    Looking forward to seeing Nymeria next episode, as they showed her in the trailer for the next episode.

    I think Jon is going to be told about his parentage tonight, but it'll be Littlefinger who somehow knows and reveals it to him. Or at the very least he's going to speculate to Jon's face.

    "Tonight". Right.

    Sometimes I really hate time zones.

    Bah. Another relative snoozefest. They need to get shit rolling if these truncated seasons are going to hold up.

    Also, unless there were just a few ships escorting the Sands back to Dorne, Euron facerolling Yara and Theon in the span of a few minutes was fairly unrealistic. That said, yay dead Sand Snakes! They were ungodly boring."

    Hot Pie returns. Kek.

    Nice to see they finally stuck a knife into the characters from Dorne.

    Can't have been only a few ships since they were sailing up the dornish troops to King's Landing, right?

    Also lul at Theons exit, seems to enjoy leaping off things.
