1. SER POUNCE IS A DIVA

One fan favorite cameo this season was Ser Pounce, King Tommen Baratheon's cat. Co-producer Bryan Cogman, who also wrote Pounce's on-screen debut, shares what Pounce was like off-camera: "In the book he was a kitten but I arrive on set, and they’ve cast a sumo wrestler cat," Cogman recalls. "Filming with a cat is a nightmare. Natalie Dormer [who plays Margaery Tyrell] wanted to kill me. But the cat is in it because he serves a purpose: You immediately see that Tommen is not Joffrey. Tommen is a sweet boy with a cat named Ser Pounce, and who has found himself in incredible circumstances... The innocence of Tommen is fun to play with because there isn’t a lot of innocence in this world."

Bad news for the kitty fan club – Cogman admits, "This is probably the last time you’ll see Ser Pounce."
