Isn't that why she's hates Tyrion?
The show runners can probably run with her hating him because he killed her mother but that always seemed secondary.
Hopefully he gets a big return this year, he's been sidelined for too long

The prophesy is what always seemed unnecessary, Cersei never lacked for reasons to hate Tyrion before it.

hmm, I could see that happening. maybe we will see a letter burning after all. too bad there's no snow in dorne.
Show Cersei is too smart, I can see that happening, yes. I bet the whole walk thing is a great conspiracy out of her control and not a chain of mistakes with the Kettlebacks in the middle.
I like smart Cersei, but she has to make some mistakes sometime.

I like this. We definately need more cause than we currently have for Jaime to abandon Cersei in her hour of need (assuming that's still what's going to happen in the show) and this could be that.

You're really just trying to restart this discussion aren't you?
If Doran didn't have complete control, Ellaria/Sandsnakes would have torn Myrcella apart so Cersei isn't wrong for wanting her out. Even more so if she gets maimed by Darkstar. Furthermore, it would be a lie/manipulation to protect their daughter, which is a far cry from 'fucking Lancel, Kettlebacks and Moonboy.'
Yeah I also thought it was silly that Cersei would've reconstructed that viper-gram just for dramatic effect. The idea that the necklace matches one Sansa wore once doesn't hold any water though. That seems like an obvious prop department oversight.
Fishman pls. I know the last few posts moved on but I'm just wary 'cuz in that dumb RDJ interview thread this one post got continuously quoted for like ten pages over a couple days.

I also thought it was a bit weird that Cersei had Jamie open it again. I know they want the shot for dramatic effect, but I'm just imagining Cersei trying to figure out how to put the box back together.
I'm still pondering the potential deaths of characters this season who are not dead in the books yet. I hope they don't kill off Syrio.

My avatar has a fish in it, if that counts, (It's Poseidon holding a fish).
If i recall correctly, the show unsullied have their penis. Someone made a joke about how they have no stones, but still a stick.

I don't think Dolphins qualify for our Fishmen cabal.

I totally disagree with this. Theon isn't a black or white character. He would be a piece of shit if his betrayal was something wanted from the beginning. His nation was at war against the North and he would be disinherited from his title. In the books he followed Robb's plan until his father showed that an agreement would be impossible. He had to choose between betraying the Starks or his father. It isn't that simple. And of course, he isn't a good guy nor a villain. The books isn't about that. He is a flawed character like everyone else who had a tragic end.

Speaking of Reddit theories, here's a good one that just popped up: "Is Sansa this generation's Lyanna?".
Will Jon find her in a pool of blood? "Promise me, Jon..."

I think that theory is lame :/

Have we still not heard the last three titles of the series? How odd.

They didn't put a ton of thought into it. Probably a lot of "but what if!"
I'm still going with JonSa.

Well we are only something like 10 posts behind the unsullied and we gotta catch up somehow. Thankfully ASOIAF allows us to post nonsense as if they were theories to achieve this goal.

Settle down, everyone. We're late in the week and getting to the cabin fever phase, and I'd like to keep the thread on track as best as possible. Stick to discussing the television show.

Referring to episode titles for this season I think.
Hold on now, what's the implication here?!
I harbour nothing but good intentions...
I honestly don't think so. I never liked it in the book, and it seems the show has given it the chop.

Plus it will be a bigger shock if it's not known about. I just am wondering if they can get Jamie there on a timely manner(character arc wise). I'm thinking that if Cersei actually did trick Jamie into going to Dorne, it could work out well. I'm also hoping that Jamie and Cersei have their falling out in King's Landing instead of him burning a letter.
