It’s probably more Euron Jamie Randyll Tarly and Qyburn than Cersei, but she is doing surprisingly well. ---

I think someone in Daenery’s inner circle is a traitor. Too much coincidence in her military disasters. ---

If Dany keeps going like this, it’s only going to be her, Tyrion and Missandei left, riding around on dragons solving mysteries Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---

I really good episode. It’s really hard to see who is going to win this ting and hearing Jon voice how it all makes no difference because the Walking Dead (referenced by name :)) are coming was nice. Sad to see Olenna go. But glad she got a last thumb in Cresei’s eye and let them know who killed Geofrey. I wonder if that will change how she thinks about Tyrion? Probably not. It will help Jamie feel less guilty for helping him though I’m sure. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > It’s probably more Euron Jamie Randyll Tarly and Qyburn than Cersei, but she is doing surprisingly well. Well perhaps it’s a lot Jamie (who really acts more like a Hand than Qyburn), but I’m thinking they come up with their plans together - the abandoning Casterly Rock thing seems very Cersei though. ---

“I am not a Stark!” Dragon swoops down on Jon’s head. A little bit of foreshadowing maybe? Why would Jaime tell Cersei about Oleanna? That would serve no purpose. Except to make her even more crazy. I can’t see Jaime giving Oleanna the posthumous satisfaction. ---

BTW, it seemed to be news to Jaime that Oleanna was responsible for poisoning Joffrey. ---

I totally thought he was giving her the same “strangler” poison she gave Joffrey, but I guess Jaime and Cersei never did find out it was her. Until now. ---

How about badass Oleanna: “Will it hurt?” “No.” GULP! “I killed Joeffrey” _drops mic_ Also, Bran continues to underwhelm. ---

> [@Lakai](#): > > It would prove Tyrion didn’t do it. He might want her to know that. Her mind is made up about Tyrion. She’ll just say they conspired together, imagine how she’ll torture her little brother, get a death lady boner and have a threesome with her brother and Eurone. ---

Sansa’s reaction to Bran explaining why he can’t be Lord of Winterfell because he’s the Three Eyed Raven was hilarious. I don’t think anyone’s going to bring up the more obvious potential problem, which even it doesn’t disqualify him outright would give him the perfect excuse to renounce his right’s in favour of Sansa & her progeny. > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Did you notice that they specifically _didn’t_ tell her that Jon Snow was brought back from the dead? Davos said something about it and then Tyrion suggested it was just metaphorical. They also still have Melisandre on Dragonstone, at least for now. > [@Quimby](#): > > …Sad to see Olenna go. But glad she got a last thumb in Cresei’s eye and let them know who killed Geofrey. I wonder if that will change how she thinks about Tyrion? Probably not. It will help Jamie feel less guilty for helping him though I’m sure. Yep, I’ll miss Olenna, but that was one hell of a death scene for her. After Jaime put the poison in her glass I was expecting her to grab the other one and empty her own vial of poison into it (for herself to drink, not Jaime). > [@DigitalC](#): > > Don’t think that title bodes well for Ellaria and the last sand snake. I got to hand it to Cersei; she’s _extremely_ good at coming up with twisted & ironic ways to slowly torture her enemies. ---

Shouldn’t Varys be talking to the northerners for whatever information he can get? “Oh, Littlefnger is hanging out at Winterfell. I remember the last time I saw him with Ned Stark.” ---

> [@Jackknifed\_Juggernaut](#): > > I meant to ask this in last week’s thread but forgot: When Euron promised Cersei a gift, we assume he meant Tyrion. However, it appears to be Ellaria who he had in mind. How did he know where Ellaria was; i.e. on one of Dany’s ships? And if he meant Ellaria or Tyrion, he might as well have thought Dany, since they would each presumably be equally difficult to abduct (at least from Euron’s POV). One would think that not everyone in Yara’s little flotilla is loyal, or possibly Dany’s court. ---

I can’t help thinking that Eddie Izzard would have done a much better job as Euron. Euron just isn’t sinister enough. He needs that hiss of cold evil in his character. So, Jon Snow is going to forge weapons on Dragonstone is he? I’m guessing this is how we get Gendry back.
