No, she's a Sand.

I really don't see any possibility of Cersei leaving these two alive next week. Only Tyrion I think can compare to Ellaria on people Cersei hates. Jaime is still way too with her, and I think something that's really going to set him off is Cersei killing Ellaria and her daughter in a similar manner as Brandon and Rickon Stark were killed in combo with how Elia Martell and her children were killed. The later is one of Jaime's only two regrets is not saving Rhaegar and Elia from her father.

Regardless if she's dead or not, my point is the Mountain is still more than capable of raping someone.

No, I really don't.

The female empowerment thing I think works, considering most of the original male leads killed each other off.

I am however bothered by the alteration of character sexuality just to pander to BuzzFeed readers. People bitched that even though the Viper was bisexual he was killed brutally so they make Yara gay (which she is not in the books) just to give people the fuzzy wuzzy feel goods.

I'm also still sour about the removal of Lady Stoneheart from the story so I've been holding a grudge against the show for a while. Maybe it's all just sour grapes on my part.

They fought like crap. Whips and long spears in a pitched battle on a ship. Yeah, that will work. Got their asses kicked too. So did the one who only fought with a little knife.

I thought she was the illegit child of OBeryn.

That's.... creepily specific

I do think the use of the Mountain will be extremely specific to their punishment. The Mountain raped and killed Elia and her children. The Mountain murdered her lover and Tyene's father. Being dragged naked through the streets would appeal to Cersei because she wants them to feel her shame. And she's becoming as obsessed with Wildfire as the Mad King and loathes Ellaria on just about the same level as Tyrion. That's why I came up with that bizarrely specific punishment, and how I think Cersei would come up with it.

If his specific guesses come true he will get sent to the Wall.

I'm more questionable of being dragged naked through the streets, but I do think Cersei is going to do something particularly horrific to them using the Mountain and Wildfire. I will stand by that sentence.

I have read no spoilers, and I think my record speaks for itself, like being insistent all last season that LF was going to massacre Jon Snow's army during the Battle of the Bastards.
