Speaking of Melisandre, what was the point of her trying to get in Jon Snow's pants?
Either to take his blood or to make a shadow baby to take out Roose Bolton maybe. Those seem to be her two typical seduction scenarios.

The friendzone is their natural habitat and Ser Jorah is their patron saint.
It looks like they did her regular makeup then put a second coat of makeup on top of that.Her face looks different this season, like plastic surgery different.

But Jon Snu Snu'd Ygritte thereby breaking the vows already. Not sure why the vows have meaning all of a sudden for him. But I guess deep down Melly knows that vows really dont matter to him. He didn't act towards Melly's advances because vows and such. Its because he loved Ygritte (or trying to cling to her mwmory).Wait, did this show just borrow a storyline from Troy?
It sounds like, upon 2nd watch of the episode, that Littlefinger was stating that Rhaegar had a thing for Lyanna and after defeating Barristan in combat he presented a gift to Lyanna while bypassing his wife. Then of course Littlefinger gave Sansa a look like, " yeah right " when Sansa mentioned how Rhaegar had raped and murdered Lyanna.
Sounds like to me Lyanna and Rhaegar ran off together, and this is what set Robert Baratheon toward assaulting Westeros. He lost his woman to another man and went to kill that other mans family and take all power from them.
What a twist that was. Makes me look at Robert completely differently.
She's been interested in him for a long time. Didn't she once say he had power or hidden potential or some shit like that.
That and she was likely just f'in with him to see if she could get him to break a sacred vow. Break one, and you could get him to break others. Who knows but man, I have mad respect for Jon now. No f'in way I turn that down! lol

But I like it, because it makes him act like a boss.

Why are people saying Cersei sent Mace Tyrell off to die? Did I miss something?
My read on that scene was as follows:
-The Iron Bank has called in one tenth of the debt. This is a big deal. They are testing the Lannisters' current liquidity. They need to be paid or they will back Stannis. You absolutely cannot fuck with these people.
-Neither Cersei or her council understand this because they are stupid.
-Cersei compounds this mistake by sending an incompetent buffoon to negotiate with the Bank, thus weakening the capital and the Lannisters and strengthening Stannis. The Bank will not take kindly to Mace's bluster.
-The scene functions as another illustration of the Lannister dynasty coming off the rails, of Cersei's idiocy and lack of 'view of the pieces on the board' and of the balance of power therefore swinging towards Stannis.
Cersei is a complete bellend. As a matter of fact, she already went as far as to jail the heir to the Tyrell dinasty because she didn't want to marry him and felt the Tyrells were having too much influence on sweet Tommen. I'm gonna guess she already got Granny Tyrell foaming at the mouth.
Bitch is playing with fire.
I don't see why it can't be both. She sends Mace to settle finances but has probably told her thug to kill him on the way back and make it look like an accident or blame it on Braavos.
Her main goal now, especially that we see her remembering the prophecy, seems to be to cause as much as pain as possible to the people tearing her family apart. Deep down she has to know Tyrion had nothing to do with Jofferey's death and has to suspect the Tyrells. She wants them gone but not before she uses their money.
Of course and hopefully Arya can change all that. And now Margery and her grandma are going to get in on getting back at her.
Cersei would be dense enough to think no one would think anything of it if he does die " accidently ". Not a single soul would believe it was an accident and not a straight attack on the Tyrell family by Cersei. But really, im so fucking tired of Cersei it is ridiculous. The last good scene I think she had is when she was sitting down with Robert and they were joking how their marriage was what was holding the kingdoms together. I really want her to fuck up royally at this point and it looks like that may actually be happening. She just doesn't have the foundation laid to make the moves she is moving. Her foundation was Jamie and Tywin and the influence and power they had along with the ( supposed ) family fortune. Now the Lannisters can't even pay half of a 10% debt that has been called upon. Tywin is dead. Jamie has absolutely no influence anymore. Tyrion is gone. Tommen is ridiculed by the public and shows tremendous weakness to his wife and mother behind the scenes.
Jjust no foundation for these moves by Cersei. No fallback.
After that and since, can't stand her at all.

Well that's why Margery is going into full scheming mode. I do find it dumb that up to now Margery has been doing nothing but fucking Tommen and being naive enough to let Cersei just run the Kingdom.
So, how fucked is Littlefinger after he arrives in king's landing? I think there is a pretty good chance that Cerci at least suspects that Littlefinger is double crossing her, and I also think the religion loonies won't be to kind to the owner of those brothels. To make things worse for him, those religion loonies are very unpredictable and his normal way of dealing with these kind of situations (using schemes, lies and false promises to get himself safe) probably won't be as effective with them.
I'm actually convinced that Stannis will be King. I think he will end up sacrificing everything, from his daughter to possibly Davos to get it as well however. He saw it through the fire, and the Lord of Light seems legit.What is the status of the Baratheons at the moment?
Stannis has the rightful claim to the throne - we know that. His brothers Robert (the old king) and Renly (a pretender) are dead. Robert's kids either aren't his (Myrcella, Tommen) or are bastards (all murdered save Gendry). Renly did not have children.
Does this mean that Shireen is really the next in line to the 7th of the kingdom that the Baratheons rule? (I don't know what that land is called but assume it's near the north) If so then she might be a really important piece on the board. The Baratheon bannermen are (assumedly) supporting Tommen as king (as they think he's a Baratheon) but if it comes out (properly, at trial) that Tommen is illegitimate then Stannis and Shireen are what's left.
Considering that I believe that Stannis isn't going to make it out of this season alive (or the beginning of the next one, anyway) that means that marriage to Shireen could be a huge, huge deal.
In fact, if Jon was somehow released from his vows at the Night's Watch and made a Stark again, then Shireen would be an almost perfect match. Starks and Baratheons together again, like Robert and Ned. If Stannis could choose someone for his daughter, he'd choose Jon or someone just like him, of that I've no doubt. The fact that she's too young is irrelevant, too, as the betrothal itself is the political pact that matters, the marriage can wait years if need be. This could also apply to Bran or Rickon, wherever they are, though it's not clear if Bran would be able to get married / consummate a marriage or not.
There are multiple ways Jon could 'get out of' the Night's Watch vows or just abandon them.
-Jon changes his mind and agrees to Stannis' offer after the fact
-Stannis becomes king, disbands the Night's Watch for whatever reason (likely because he'll be sending a proper army up there to wipe out the others once and for all)
-Stannis doesn't abandon the Night's Watch but releases them all from their vows
-The others overrun the wall, retreat is necessary or Night's Watch destroyed, Jon survives
-Jon is somehow exiled by the other brothers and has to go on the run back to Stannis or Winterfell
-Melly gets into Jon's pants and puts a spell on him or some such
Anyway, the point is that Shireen is actually quite important, and someone needs to wake up and realise there's a lot of power on offer there if they take her hand. Unless I'm completely wrong about the current family tree, of course. And I guess if Stannis doesn't die you'd have the father-in-law from hell... And the mother in law from a place below hell... And an 'aunt' who is a literal manifestation of a fiery, shadowy hell... Hmmm... But if all of them were to die then it's a great idea!!!
The reason I thought of Shireen getting married in the first place is because I feel like at this point a little princess having a fairytale ending would be one of the most subversive and unexpected plot lines they could do. I mean, any time anything nice happens at this point 75% of the fan base says 'yeah he's dead'. So it would be an about face.
She's totally going to be sacrificed and her father will die fighting the Boltons
heh.
Littlefinger is very fucked. He is the one guy who escapes everyone but still lives among them because reasons. I dont think he's gonna get lucky this time, as Cersie is being truly paranoid of any danger, percieved or otherwise.So, how fucked is Littlefinger after he arrives in king's landing?

He might have a horrific death shortly afterwards like Danny burning him alive which would be an interesting ending to him considering what he does to his enemies.
That's why I'm hoping the Boltons get KO'd by episode 5-7 quickly through Sansa, and he takes down Kings Landing like season 2 Blackwater battle but wins and burns Tommen alive by ep 9-10. The two big things I expect at the end of the season is Stannis the Mannis taking over Kings Landing, and the White Walkers attacking the Wall. A third might be Danny deciding to go to Westeros.
I thought there would be 7 seasons for the series to finish? Seems like a logical step since one would imagine the White Walker war should be the focus of the story for the end.That sounds far too quick for me (from an epidosde to epdisode point of view), but the general outline is something I could see happening over this and the next season. It would be the most heartbreaking thing in GoT history if Melisandre and his wife convinced him to sacrifice Shireen. That would be utterly unbearable.
I gotta agree with this. It's not hard for me to buy that an 85 year old was defeated by ten men.eh..

Like someone mentioned above, Robert probably thought she was kidnapped. I'm not sure of the timing of everything but I think the war didn't start until the Mad King killed Ned's father and brother.Wait, did this show just borrow a storyline from Troy?

Does anyone remember if Bealish knows who Tommen's real daddy is? I wonder if Cercei has thought about them finding out ��☕️

Littlefinger has most likely always known, but that's kinda moot since everyone knows now.
Do the religious militant know? If not, what happens if they do.
If a sellsword like Bronn knows, why wouldn't Littlefinger, whose entire survival is built trading secrets? There is a reason why he runs brothels. It's not because he likes being a pimp, but because he knows people let out secrets in such places especially the high ranking ones. Obviously no one can do anything about it now. Ned Stark was the best person who could've made the charges stick. It all died with him.Does anyone remember if Bealish knows who Tommen's real daddy is?

This thread has turned to shit.
Both what littlefinger said to Sansa and what was going to happen to loris were "theorised" in this thread, then the mod comes in and says for book lovers to stay out of here.
I'm pretty sure I know what is going to happen to cercei and Jamie and myrcella as well, because people can't help themselves.
And Jon is part targaryan was also "theorised" early on this season and now that looks likely too considering what Sansa said and ned coming back from the war with a kid and melisandre feeling something special with him.
I'm out of this thread now, too many people getting their theories right.
Sam will be king.I get a little suspicious of people who just post random theories that really don't have a lot to do with the current central plot of the series or what happened in recent episodes. I guess we can't just ban theorizing altogether, but it might help.
Ned had too much dumb honor to do what Baelish told him to do. The same with Rob and Roose.If a sellsword like Bronn knows, why wouldn't Littlefinger, whose entire survival is built trading secrets?
