Keisha castle Hughes seems to have graduated from the Jon Lovitz master thespian class on ACTING!! Every time she opens her mouth it's a staccato-punctuated monologue and is ridiculous.

Maybe Bronn and that SS lady end up getting together? I can't see how that furthers the plot at all, but I'm really failing to see how any of this Dornish Adventure furthers the plot, so...
quote:What I picked up from it was that the poison wasn't moving much throughout his body with him just sitting there in a cell, so she knew she had to get his blood pumping somehow.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Sand Snake scene last night. But didn't it seem totally unnecessary? Like the show knew they had been lacking on tittays this season and added it to fill the cable TV boobie quota. Most all of the other gratuitous nude scenes had good character development in them. The crazy girl/girl scene with Roz showed Littlefinger as a shrewd pragmatic businessman/politician, Dany's first few scenes set up her and Drogo's relationship, etc. Obviously some of these are nudity for the sake of it being a cable show, but most all of them had plot points attached.
This scene with Bronn seemed pointless except to show some nudity. He sings, she tells him he's poisoned, we see some nice boobies, he gets cured. Why even have the poisonous cut as a plot point? Again, I'm not complaining, just an observation.
Now...why she cared to save him and not let him die? I dunno, maybe just some compassion because they never planned on Bronn and Jaime showing up so that poison wasn't mean for him. Or maybe setting up for something in the future, it seems that most of the time in this series there is a reason we see small scenes like that.
The scene also showed us that she suffers from a major, almost pathological case of vanity. The other 2 sand snakes are clearly annoyed by it. Perhaps that's a ***** in their armor that can be exploited somehow in the future?
There's something about the writing and acting in the Gilly-Sam scenes that drives me crazy. That whole scene with the 2 guys trying to rape her just had a "hey biff. Get your damn hands off her" vibe. She's written/played so weak and dumb, it wrecks that whole story line for me. I'm supposed to root for Sam to be with this mouth breather?
I honestly felt similarly about the Ygritte character too - I get the sense she had to have been much better in the book, but on the show it was just her repeating one of 3 lines over and over that was supposed to be banter I guess. The writers seem to really struggle with these story lines.
Why the f would Sansa entrust Theon with that task? Come ON. She thinks he murdered her brothers, he betrayed her family... Ridiculous.

From Sepinwall's review. Bronn's past life. He sings a lot for a reason I guess.
Looks like the faith militant have cersei nailed with the sin of adultery with her nephew. Does that count as incest?
Any possibility they go full nuclear with the tommen as product of incest charge? That would obviously bring down cersei, de-legitimize tommen and thus the tyrells are cut out again. So no one wants that unless cersei holds it up as a desperation bargaining chip. What evidence do they need for proof of incest with tommen? Remind me what evidence did Ned stark find and is that still in play?

Robert's *******s always had dark hair. His kids with Cersei were all blondes.
What is the deal with Stannis' daughter and using her or whatever? Feel like I am missing some critical plot point there.

I think Mellisandre wants to do some more blood magic, and she needs the blood of kings. So she wants to kill the daughter and use her blood for some spell. That's the way I understood it at least
quote:

Robert didn't have any kids with Cersei
"his kids"
As I recall, in season 1, Cersei said she had a kid with Robert which did't survive.
So what did Lancel tell the High Sparrow? Does he know about Cersei and Jamie, or did he tell him about Cersei putting Lancel up to King Robert's death at the hands of the boar?
I hope we put all this Sansa the strategist crap to rest.

I just want to thank Simon of House Adebisi for pushing the the plot forward and getting Tyrion to Daenerys. FINALLY!
quote:Probably about having a hand in King Robert's death and that he and Cersei had sexy time too.

I'd bet it has to do with the incest, which will bring up Toman's illegitimacy to the throne. The Sparrows are making power moves, not just being uber-fundamentalist.
Mr. Eko
quote:rofl. Is he suing for the crown?
Stannis is in open rebellion against the crown and therefore has given up any legal claim to the throne.
Legally speaking the baratheons aren't eligible because Targaryens still exist. (Sure the baratheons have some targ blood, but still "open rebellion negates claim" right lol)
Didn't Lancel also sleep with Cersei? I think that's his big sin he confessed and was forgiven for by the high scepter. I think he gave them that info as well as the twin-cest Intel.
Yes lancel was banging Cersei. I don't think Jaime knew, that will change his opinion of her as soon as that sin is tried/revealed imo. Remember a few episodes back when he wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves and bronn had a boring death wish.
Some have speculated he is talking about brienne not Cersei, but either way he is still amiable Cersei and sees her as the only family he has (disowning Tyrion).

Which is more acceptable - "asian in the armor" or "oriental in the armor"?
I was responding to the post about who would take the crown if Tommen dies or is incarcerated. Someone said Stannis would. If all of Robert Baratheon's children are dead, then the crown would pass to his eldest male sibling through right of succession. Because Stannis is in open rebellion against the crown, he is treasonous and has no right to the throne in that line of thinking. Unless of course he wins it through a rebellion, like Robert. I don't see what the "rofl" "lol" for my assertion is all about.
*Edit: I was in response to Stive's post who was responding to Steve Constanza on page 40. I guess I didnt use the reply function.

quote:I don't think he will; I think Melisandre or his queen-wife will; or they will team up to do it.
If he does it, I'm done with Stannis.
quote:quote:I don't think that a woman is eligible for the crown in Westeros. He has no children and no male siblings. I think it goes next to siblings of his father ... Stannis.
Just curious, but who is next in line if Tommen dies? Is it his sister or Margery?
Anyone think Zombie Mountain comes to Cersei's rescue?
He's gotta come into play at some point this year.

In an earlier episode the sparrows made comments of Tonmen being born of incest, so its known.
Gotta say I really don't care for this Sparrows storyline at all -- feels like the entire show has been a build up of strategic positions and then they throw in this group that basically can do whatever it is they please and people are actually heeding their authority?

I liked the Sparrows but as a really minor plot line. Like maybe the Wildlings, but more minor.
Instead, this season is consumed by Sand Snakes, Sparrows, and Boltons.

Agree with this. They came out of nowhere and are throwing the most powerful people in the 7 kingdoms in jail left and right... I know Tommen is supposed to be naive and in over his head, but all he has to do is say "**** this" and they're gone.
