I can't imagine she would take Cersei up on that deal. Everything she is doing is to take revenge for Oberyn's death, I don't see her undoing all of that to stay alive. She feels like the type so die before selling her soul.
Ellaria killed her daughter.
And as we saw in this episode there is NO love lost between Jon and Littlefinger.

No. Cersei isn't fun. I can't remember what season it was, but Tywin pegged her in that season when he said that she wasn't as clever as she thinks she is. At this point, she's the Mad Queen, willing to do anything and everything to gain and hold on to her power.
Second, no, I don't think she's layered. Her entire character has been a pompous, spoiled, privileged shit, willing to go to war and throw seven kingdoms into chaos just because she wanted to fuck her brother. I don't much care for Jamie either, but HE'S the one who has some nuance. He's not into cruelty for the sake of it, tries to save lives when he can, bore the title of Kingslayer because he saved all of King's Landing, saved Tyrion and treated him like an actual person, ect. As I said before, I feel like there's going to be a moment where she's gonna betray Jamie too, because in the end, she only cares for herself. She even proved that last season. She claims to love her children, but it was more important for her to consolidate her power and have her rivals defeated than it was for her to just back off and let Tommen be happy. She's directly responsible for his suicide. She's the worst.
THAT BEING SAID:
The fact that I despise her so much shows how well Lena Heady is doing with her. She's one of the best bad guys; one you don't (or at least I don't) sympathize with and want to see her fall. I wanted Arya to kill her, but now she's going back to Winterfell. Hopefully something horrid doesn't happen to her on the way.
Also, I heard the word "books" in that video and immediately closed it.
It feels like the whole place would explode if dragons were used from all the wildfire stored.

Gotta say, this was the most badass Samwell Tarly has ever been.
everyone in the king's court knows that. Littlefinger held a knife to Ned's throat in the middle of the throne room
even Catelyn who was busy in the Vale called him out for it
It's pretty much a given. Anothe dragon is also going to the white walkers.

And The Mountain did a number on several Martells - including the one she loved the most.

Me not liking Dany doesn't have anything to do with her Queen ability. She would probably be one of the better options of everyone in the show.
I just don't really like her character or her scenes. She has some really cool ones, but idk it all just feels too easy for her post Season 1 (where she was in a really bad place but overcame it which is when I liked her)
Since then its basically I'm the mother of the dragons, yada yada yada, bend the knee, I'm Queen, I got Dragons, I basically just win at everything because that's how I'm written.
Most of the other main characters have a lot more depth to what is going on with them which is why I find them more compelling characters. I like Cersei in all her fucked upness vastly more than Dany
Is this true? I can barely remember LIttlefinger killing Joeffrey, never mind plotting against Ned.
And where's the Blackfish, he's not dead, is he?
Oh for sure.

Cool preview scene with Jon arriving.
Is that right? Oh man. Hadn't even thought about it yet.
Yup.

Euron is the type of dude that get caught cheating live on twitch and don't care. I don't like how he got such an armada to threaten the one the iron islands had for years. Did they send a skeleton crew to escort the people back to the south?
Not happy with that event. What are you going to do though, sigh. Peter Dinklage you haven't been paying attention.jpg.

Was the intention of that Sand Snakes scene to make us glad they were about to die? Cause I was rolling my eyes so hard. "Momma! Momma!" Good grief lol.
Shoutout to the editors for that great/gross cut between the greyscale and the food.

Yea but if Cersei doesn't have a live hostage, she can't stop Dorne from joining the war. Maybe Cersei will threaten to torture the shit out of Tyene if Ellaria doesn't come to heel.
I guess that'll just leave Drogon. He's her fave anyway.
Yup that's the word I was looking for thanks lol

they weren't cool, they conspired to kill an innocent kid and they killed their innocent cousin.
Ah shit.
Cersei hasn't been reasonable for awhile now and has continuously made bad decision based on her thirst for revenge. The Dornes are dead, thats gonna be the "surprise" death of the episode. Yara may escape though.

Strong episode for the True Queen's war effort.
-obtained anti air weaponry
-brought the best living battle commander in Westeros over to her side with an untold number of Reach forces.
-got the head cut off the Dornish army as courtship gift
-faceless assassin aborted mission to kill her, at least for now
-blood thirsty Olenna sowed dissent in the Usurper Queen's ranks.
Things are looking up. The odds are still very much against her but I can at least see a path to victory as long as Dany keeps the Dothraki on the sidelines. Now I just have to hope Jon keeps out of the fray...I don't like routing against Cersei.

You are crazy, Cersei is one of the most interesting characters on the show right now.
Tywin was just speaking sexist nonsense.
Wouldn't be surprised if all her dragons die by the end of the season and Cersei wins, then gets killed by Jamie or someone random during the battle of the white walkers.
I've already assumed who I'm rooting for or who I want to see live won't happen. I've had 6 seasons to adjust.

Yeah, I like them someone what, not enough cause they weren't on the screen a lot, but they totally killed a level minded ruler who didn't want to start a costly war over revenge. Especially since that duel was legit.

At this point the only thing I'm watching the show for is The Night King, I hope he wins. Every other character is crap at this point.
Also RIP Hot Pie, he ain't living long after saying the things he did

Don't remember Olenna being a part of it, other than that sure. But Blackfish ate it off screen eh? Him and Arya's needle instructor from season 1 gonna mount a comeback.

Who needs loyalty when you can control the dead?
Everyone else has infighting and conflict amongst themselves.
Ironically, Olenna's family would likely still be alive if she didn't kill Joffrey.

I'll bite; what makes her so interesting?
What's so special about her that isn't special about anyone else in this series that has experienced tragedy? I'm open to having my mind changed!
Yup. I honestly don't see any way for Westeros to come together and deal with the real threat at this point.
Just hanging out in the boats.

Yea, they weren't mention during the war room meeting. I hope she didn't keep them on the boats.
