I don't think Cersei is really pregnant.

Jaime is just a huge disappointment. I thought his character arc was one of the most altered, but ehn not so much.

Punishingly Intricate

I don't think she is either

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, it seems much more likely that she isn't, but if necessary to keep her standing she might become pregnant. Still holding out hope that Jaime will turn around. I enjoyed cheering him on a lot more than shaking my head in pity.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If Cersei's not pregnant, and Jaime finds out, that could be the event that finally turns him.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Coupla things:

  • Gendry and Jon Snow, THE best bromance of the year.
  • Would totally watch a spinoff show following the duo of Davos and Bronn
  • Prince "Ragger" - I love you Gilly. SO MUCH.
  • Samwell "Mansplainer" Tarley - not so much.
  • GHOST MENTION BUT NO GHOST WTF
  • I do not like this Littlefinger getting the upper hand over *Arya. (But, come on, Arya, give your sister a break, after all she's been through, she gets to choose her own room.)
  • Desperately want to see a reunion between Jorah and Lyanna Mormont (who I also want on the Davos and Bronn snark-a-palooza spinoff)
  • TORMUND!!! "And you need to convince the one with the dragons, or the one who fucks her brother?"
  • Clegane can't die before he kills his brother in single combat, right????
  • That said... SUICIDE SQUAD! Fellowship of the Raven?

Seriously, a LOT of my favorite characters are going to face down the Army of the Dead and this concerns me. (thankfully, not Bronn or Davos though.)

Cereal: Cersei and Jamie, it would be impossible for me to be more bored with you both.

This is the only season I have watched. One big difference in the reading vs watching experience for me has been characters like Davos and Bronn who didn't jump out on the page so much for me, but they are treasures on the screen.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My show has Lyanna and Davos and Bronn and Tormund and it used to have Sam but now it just has Gilly and I basically don't give any remote fractions of a shit any more about Lannisters or Targaeryens and I'm pretty much running out of fucks for Starks as well.

Basically, give me secondary characters and the rest of y'all can shut up with the kings and queens and such.
