I don't remember. Had we seen on-screen confirmation before that Cersei was the one who killed Robert?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think we already knew she poisoned the wine?

I'm not sure how explicitly it was said, but it was made pretty clear back when she was sleeping with the cousin, wasn't it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Did they specifically say the wine was poisoned? I'd thought that Cercei has pretty much just told Lancel to make sure that Robert always had wine in his hand, and Robert got drunk enough to take care of the rest.

Because books.

When Cersei was sleeping with what cousin?

So, which direction do we think Arya will be headed next -- south to King's Landing to finish off her list, or north to Winterfell to go home like she said she wanted? Or west to find out what's there?

Also, in the "What even is this cosmology?" question, someone (Jon, I think) made a comment about "the enemy is the one who brings the storm" or something like that. Which fits in with some hints we've gotten about how the seasons work. But I'd still like to know how a "year" is defined in that world.

Melisandre has prophesied that the two of them will meet again, and she happens to be on the list.

Years are years, seasons can be multiple years long. There's planting time and harvest time every year (to some extent) but Summer and Winter are these other things of varying duration. Is my understanding.

Sometimes I am half-convinced that this isn't a world of human beings at all, they're, like, fruit-flies or something. I haven't thought it through thoroughly, but it seems like it might explain a lot.

Melisandre has prophesied that the two of them will meet again, and she happens to be on the list.

Oh, yeah? I forgot that. Convenient that Melisandre is heading south, then.

I want to say Cersei told Lancel he was letting Robert get drunk but the wine was actually poisoned but I don't remember why I think that, much less if it was made clear on screen.

But how do they define years? If it's one full revolution around the sun, then the maesters must be incredibly confused.
