Not to mention King's landing seems like a complete shithole now. With all the Smart lannister's gone everything has fallen apart even more and the city is probably in shamples.
Who's to say the 'cure' wasn't just water...
Well he was able to breathe after drinking it and wasn't dying anymore. Honestly, I just think that sand snake girl was more thirsty than blood thirsty by this point. If anything Bronn's life is still in danger because she's got them crazy eyes.

Best episode this season so far. Great tits also. Beatiful body. Also I saw Dany's nipple if I am not mistaken.
AND.
The Sand Snakes are like Shaes personality split into three women.
Druckmann approves, writers & actors are not fired.

Which goes along with Daenrys, and her discussion with dude. If you are not a butcher, then you are meat. I really think that people do not give this show enough credit for its writing. Not that this a specific intelligent thought, but they related it to the story directly in a single episode. There is a lot of stupid shit happening, but the writers are still doing an excellent job of keeping it all together.

Weird seeing Olena get bested in verbiage, but neat all the same. I'm sure she'll still come out on top, especially now with Cersei in the clink.
Scared for my fav Ramsay. He's more a monster every episode yet always entertaining. Sansa bores me, so I have yet to care what happens to her.

They have power now because Daddy lion is gone so the fanatics moved in and started doing shit. Cersei pulled a coup cause she thought this to be her big chance to play ball and gave the fanatics power and took over the table so that they could do her dirty work in her short sighted plans. Tommen, being a bitch baby, hasn't stumped them out yet because Cersei's been controlling him.
I'm sure he can crash this team of rag wearing barefooted starving sheep with ease ... but he's bitch made and doesn't know how to lead. Lets his mother spin w/e she wants.
Gonna be interesting seeing what he does now ...
Yeah, I think there was just a touch of it. Honestly this no-nude thing is distracting because the cover up is so obvious, throws me into network sitcom for a minute.Best episode this season so far. Great tits also. Beatiful body. Also I saw Dany's nippel if I am not mistaken.

Honestly does no one else feel the bolded is a problem? It is so freaking ridiculous and unbelievable. The worst part is these faith guys come completely out of the blue this season with no hints as to what they were doing for so long. It is absolutely piss poor story telling.
I feel like Stannis will end up losing again.

Depends exactly what the point being made is, there's a distinction between it's believability and introduction as a plot device in the narrative sense. The later has been jarring, but the former? People should be more surprised religious societal upheavals didn't happen way sooner, it's more unbelievable we've gone four entire seasons without it.
It's horrible. I keep saying it. It's a joke. I have enjoyed the show, generally, from the first season -- But wow, this shit is just bad.
After the episode ended, I figured Neogaf would probably be hyperventilating because 1) we saw some nice breasts and 2) cercei got thrown in jail, and I wasn't wrong. I'm too old and grizzled to be swayed by just a pair of breasts, though. The show is sucking ass.
I must have missed a previous episode that mentioned it, but why is Brienne waiting for a candle in the window when she knows full well who is in Winterfell and what's likely occurring?

Not too impressed with the season so far, with so many characters either dead or scattered across the entire world there's too little interesting conflict going on.
She met Sansa and Littlefinger before and Sansa sent her away.
No my issue is with the latter. I have no problem with religious fanatics becoming powerful. I just feel it was introduced randomly without any foreshadowing and this group is now within a span of a few episodes arresting the queen mother. The storyline was not constructed well at all.

Tits or no tits I actually really liked that scene. The interaction between Tyene and Bronn was great in my opinion.

Agreed. Doesn't hurt that she was incredibly hot. Way better actress than the dreadful obara.

It is...Having the Witcher 3 more than makes up for how weak the show has been though...I find some of the story lines better written than the much of the shows material as well...
I get that. But what is she waiting for? Did she tell Sansa to light a candle to signal her if she changed her mind? Guess I'm just not getting where they decided on that somewhat random signal. Like I said I'm sure I just missed it.

She got Bronn aroused to get his heart pumping, which would diffuse the poison faster. She even kept asking "how's your arm now? How about now?" She was trolling Bronn.
At first I thought that the scene also revealed that they might not be such terrible people, since they have no reason for really wanting Bronn dead and so gave him the antidote... But this conflicts with their initial reveal, where they straight up torture and murder their informant just because he had the gall to ask for payment. So I guess that sand snake has the hots for Bronn.
As for this episode overall, I have mixed feelings. Prior to this episode, the show kept "saving up" outcomes for later, so we had 6 episodes of essentially just filler and setups that had yet to go anywhere. Some things actually went somewhere this episode, so that's good. But the season as a whole is irreparable I think, they just delayed the outcomes of all the interesting events for way too long.

Jamie might as well kick it in Dorne; there's not going to be any Lannisters left alive in King's Landing thanks to Cersei and her petty spitefulness.
Really good episode.
It was action packed from start to finish and it was good to see some of the build up from previous episodes pay off.
Bronn living was a nice surprise, I really expected him to die
Aemon dying was depressing but he's been sick this entire season so it was expected.
Tyrion seeing Daenarys was great and the fight seen between Jorah and the slaves was really well done (it was a nice touch him knocking them all out rather than killing them).

Not gonna lie I thought this fucking show will pull the rug underneath us for the 100000th time by having that Sand who just showed us her 10/10 tatas strip even further and whip out her dick in front of Bronn. When Bron got okay and there was no penis shown from either camps I was like
Man, what an great episode! So much awesomeness packed in one hour! Here are my favorite moments:
- Sansa's clevage shot was downright GLORIOUS!!!
- That one Sand Snake is Hot as fuck! (She may have the best boobs in the 7 Kingdoms of Westeros)
- Bronn Lives!!! I was sure he was a goner!
- Bronn has an real nice singing voice!
- Ramsey is such an sick sadistic bastard! I like his character!
- Mr. Friendzone (Jorah) reunited with Daenerys (her repeated clothed bed scenes are beginning to annoy me)
- Queen Margery fully expressing herself to Cersei
- Sam finally end his streak of being a virgin.
- It was so emotional seeing Aemon die...his last words got to me emotionally....I cried.
- Cersei learns how starting an GoT version of Isis was an bad idea.
Really good episode.

I get the feeling Bronn's going to have to take that antidote more than once, and that he's going to have to work a lot harder for it in future.

It's about time someone wiped that smug fucking smile off her face. She needs to die in the slowest, worst way possible.
That would be an interesting twist.
Carrying a small death preventing dose with you but requiring the full cure later would make sense as way to prevent your own death if you stab yourself and a handy way of getting someone else to help you.

No, not really. History has thousands of precedents of this. A power vacuum being filled by a sect, quickly and fiercly establishing their authority.
Locking up the Queen and Queen Mother is a powerful demonstration of their power.
Remember, Power is always a cultural construct, and with no one to oppose them, and ancient texts on their side to justify their authority, it's now or never.
Honestly, it's quite inconsequential that this sect wasn't hinted at in particular, since the show has always made it quite clear that there are religious fanatics (prior only shown through Melissandre) so when one like this is introduced I feel it's not the show runners fault if people feel lost.

World's #1 One Direction Fan: Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you~~~
shes the queen and she thought that those fanatics were her lapdogs
her arrogance got the better of her
whats ridiculous is the fact tommen cant just pass a law removing that group of their powers and getting everyone back
Or, she is going to fail and Ramsay will enjoy seeing her wife having killing intents, because Ramsay.

For that to happen, he would first need to grow a pair, which I don't see him doing.

I don't think Tommen has power over the sept or else Margaery and Cersei would have had nearly the same power, and wouldn't have been locked up. It seems like there's some sort of constitution that gives the sept superseding rule.

It's not just that, they have turned the common people against Tommen. The people know he is a bastard so any move to remove them from power would probably cause an uprising.
With Cersei in jail and Jaime across the sea no one is left to protect Tommen, I don't think he is long for this world.
Wow..get over yourself! Ok, you have an opinion of the show's season..that's fine, but to say the main reason why we liked this episode/season is because of a pair of breasts (a mighty glorious pair of breasts, I might add). You comes off as being too full of yourself. We're all immature if we don't agree with your assessment of this season? Is that it? Shit post is shitty.
seeing Tommen die will please me greatly. I hope her prophecy proves true!

What the show is going through is called the long kiss goodbye. (fakespoiler)
I doubt there is an antidote.
Regarding Cersei: I'm entertaining the idea that she might finally take a long hard look in the mirror after she loses everything, and becomes a broken shell of a person, not too unlike Theon. Killing her off would be playing it straight and predictable. Sadly, I think she'll just die though.
