This is a minor nitpick, but did anyone else think it was a little silly the Waif was there without changing her face, first? Even if it was harder for viewers to recognize.
Yeah I just took that as no one knows who she is or what she does anyway, so why not have the audience directly see her. Also, presumably, she can change to any face she wants, so oh well.

I heard a crackpot theory a few minutes ago that I need you guys to weigh in on. Guy says that Tommen will wind up being the champion for the Faith. I just don't see how you wrangle that, but if he was, Cersei being the one who killed him via the Mountain would be some shite.
I don't buy it, cause Cleganebowl is basically a lock, but can y'all think of any reasons this might or might not happen?

No idea, but the family of the man at the docks had nothing, and they hired them. So presumably there's something other than gold the faceless men will work for.

I'd say it can be true in some cases, but I wouldn't call it a rule at all.

I don't see that happening, but I do see Tommen's demise coming out of all this nonsense. He is too weak and innocent for his position. I feel bad for the kid, he just wants to act like a king and love his queen, but he is getting played by virtually everyone in his life. I think he knows it to an extent, but he is too kind to really do anything about it. Not sure how it will happen, but he will die soon. Maybe they end the season with it, but honestly I see us going into next season with Tommen still king. I could be very wrong though, of course. However he dies, I think it will be a result of Cersei's meddling, with the death of her last son as a unforeseen circumstance of her lust for power.

The saying "there is a fine line" between two things implies that they are closely related. I would say that phrase definitely applies to insanity and genius. We see it with authors and musicians in the real world constantly. Wouldn't be too shocking to associate it with people in positions of high authority. Maybe the Mad King knew too much for his own good. I know some in here don't like the theory of the Mad King being driven to lunacy by the paranoia of the White Walker invasion, but I find it interesting and it would be a huge hit to Jaime if he comes to see the White Walker invasion and somehow ends up finding out the true motives of the Mad King. I think I like the plot line of Jaime really being one of the only ones who knew about the Mad King's true intentions to destroy King's Landing a little better however.

It'd be the ultimate way of Cersei accidentally getting him killed, and would set up Jaime killing her.
But like I said, that's the only reason it would work. Logistically, I can't see a single way he winds up as champion. He's not a fighter, the Faith wouldn't ask him to, and if he wanted to I can't see it being allowed. He wouldn't stand up and be the champion for his own mother's trial.

I'm glad they are going ahead with the Riverlands storyline, but does it bother anyone else that Cersei isn't concerned with Dorne at all? They murdered her daughter and are now in open revolt against the crown.

I could certainly see the high sparrow getting in his ear and making this work as the last of the penitence for Cersei. He is the "Chosen" one by the gods then he would win. Only way I could see this playing out is if they pit Margery against Cersei in a trial by combat and he goes in to defend his wife and queen.

Cersei seems to be focusing on the most immediate task at hand, her upcoming trial and the Martells, which is completely keeping in line with the shortsightedness of Cersei's character. Always focusing on the now and the immediate threat, never thinking about the ramifications of her actions in the long term. I could see her having blinders on to Dorne right now.

I think she is concerned with them judging by her speeches the last few episodes...even if she didn't name them by name.

Was Tristan traveling with jaime and Marcella? If so, where are the two and snakes that killed him now? If not, where are the two sand snakes that killed him now?
As for Cersei, she has always thought that she was cleverer than she is, Tyrion is truly Tywin's son in that he is the schemer and long player. Jaime is just the muscle of the family and Cersei is the fool.

He stayed in Dorne and was killed there I believe. His room did look like a ship's cabin though.
Edit: This is wrong, I am an idiot. It appears he was on the boat.

They wouldn't put Margaery against Cersei; she's not a part of that.
Posted on 5/30/16 at 10:54 am to FT
The hound being the champion makes even more sense with Tommen being involved with thefaith

I don't think so because he was painting rock eyes for Marcella so he had to be with her body. I think he got killed in King's Landing on the boat.

Tywin's children each got one of his attributes.
Tyrion got the political mind. Jaime got the skill in battle. Cersei got the devotion to family.
None of them have everything he had, and only Tyrion (and Jaime in the books) knows it.

Quick question.
I think we all picked up on Daario's comment that Dany would need the exact amount of ships Euron is planning to build in order to sail to Westeros (this made me roll my eyes). At first I thought, really? They might as well have had Daario say, "How many ships? Well, and this is completely hypothetical, but let's put it this way, if there was a new Ironborn King named Euron Greyjoy who had just ordered his men to build enough ships to come take you to Westeros, I would say whatever that number is." My question is if y'all think this is clearly setting up for Euron, or if we are led to think that Asha and Theon might have that approximate number of ships and they might possibly sail to Dany?
