This misses the whole point that the sparrow was able to gain this much power in the first place. He was getting too powerful last season and no one did anything.




I didn't miss that point.The post I was replying to specifically asked 'why did the Tyrell army and Jaime back down' in THIS episode. It was not support for the lead-up. The fact of it being specific to THIS episode is the alliance with King / Queen with the High Sparrow. THAT was only revealed here.


Again, the post I replied to asked why didn't anyone throw a spear into the HS and end it, etc. That post was about the most current episode.

Too much stuff happened in this episode.

This season will be known as the "restructuring".


Anyway, I have a question about Jamie Lannister. Why did he give such weird smug looks to the Tyrell Captain when he was shouting orders to the Tyrell army that was in King's Landing ready to intercept the atonement walk?

Is it because he didn't perceive the order of the Sparrow to be that big of a threat at all?

Or was it to make the switch that Tommen pulled on Jamie to have a bigger pay off?



And for the ships that Danerys wants, does that mean the Uncle Greyjoy will really be visiting her with his new ships?

OK. That makes more sense. So Jamie was laughing that the guy was out of his element, or at least he's never seen the guy in this role before, and it didn't fit him well.

Mace also had a guy on foot leading his horse. He can't even ride a horse.

Margaery is way too smart to be a convert. She's definitely got something up her sleeve.

It would be pretty bad writing if Margery legitimately converted after the scene a couple episodes ago where it seemed like she hadn't been broken at all. I have to think (and hope) her conversion is fake.

Yup. Dorne is Spain, for example.

Margery has a plan, she's got to be playing a long con. When she was talking to Tommen, the things she was saying, Tommen was in disbelief that Margery was saying how bad of a person she was because she is not that bad. I don't believe for one second that Margery is a Sparrow convert. Something more is going on there. I'm betting Margery is playing with the Sparrows to rid herself of Cersei. Once that's done she'll rid herself of the HS.



Marg is a 100% faking it. She is a master manipulator.

I'm guessing her end game is to somehow get Tommen killed off and try to take the throne for herself. Remember back to Season 2, she wants to be "The Queen", not just a queen (when she was married to Renly).

I don't see how this works out tho with Cersei and the Lannisters still ruling the city. Cersei would definitely oppose a Margery take over. Plus I don't know what the Dany arrival time frame is either, but she could be in KL soon.

Arya just wasted two seasons trying to become a faceless man, and then on her first assignment she says "Nah, never mind." Because she talked to her victim for 5 minutes... This episode wasn't a facepalm. It was a bang my head on the coffee table repeatedly.


She didn't want to be a faceless man though, she wanted to learn how to kill. She has problems throughout her training giving up what she was.

Before she ever even enters the temple, she hides her sword. Doesn't seem like the step of someone ready to leave everything behind.

I felt cheated. Why cant Jamie get some special ops knights and the moutain ( or assaisns) to kill the sparrow. Archers ?

Danys is getting annoying.
