That's a double negative. So she's afraid of something.

Predictions:
No clue what Cersei does now. She's got the power she's always wanted - where does she go from here?

The crown is SIX MILLION GOLD in debt at the START of the series.
That fact is brought up, I think, 3 times in 6 seasons:
- When Ned goes to his first small council meeting
- When Tyrion replaces Baelish as Master of Coin
- When Mace Tyrell goes to Braavos to negotiate with the Iron Bank - and you could argue that the main purpose of that whole situation was to enable Arya's murder of Meryn Trant.
Also, anyone remember that one bit a few seasons ago about Casterly Rock's gold mines being dry? Raise your hand if you know what came of that.
I feel like the writers (including GRRM - the books are no better) are just using money as a plot device when they have to and ignoring it otherwise.
Maybe it's just because I work in finance, but that bothers me a little.

Why did Cersei leave Tommen by himself? She probably could have saved his life if she'd kept him with her - or even had the Mountain keep an eye on him.
Did they really have to wait until the end of the series to reveal that R+L=J? Especially since the setup for the reveal was back in (I think) episodes 3&4.
Why would Olenna Tyrell want fire and blood when fire just killed her son and her two youngest grandchildren? I know what fire and blood means, but still.
How did Varys get back to Meereen so fast?

I especially don't understand why it happened in a Bran flashback. Why does Bran care who Jon's parents are? Bran has much more pressing matters, like, you know, the white walker army

Peter Baelish played a CIA agent in The Dark Knight Rises.

Maybe at first. Her look was a triumphant one, but then when she saw the look on Baelish's face, her look turned to one of worry. I think she's worried what he may try to do to John, since John is clearly a threat to him now. He told Sansa he has one vision, which he tirelessly works toward, him on the iron throne with her by his side as the queen of the north. CAn't very well do that if John is King of the North, now can he?
I'm hoping others are right and Sansa will realize the threat that littlefinger is and will take him out herself. Otherwise, he will be trouble later on.
I get it - it's just that she's been so worried for and about all her children through the whole series, I feel like she should have at least made some sort of effort to save him.betiko wrote:OK here is my thought... Since Cersei was so worried about the prophecy that she's seen happening... don't you guys think she said to herself "f*ck tommen. He's dead meat anyways"... I mean he became a septon zealot and was clearly in love with maergery (of course cersei knew that). Doing what she did she really had to be a fool to think he'd still have reasons to live given how fragile he is.
She still has at least one living grandson, possibly two. Willas, the oldest, is a cripple - never came to King's Landing and is currently lord of Highgarden. The next oldest, Garlan the Gallant, may or may not have been at the sept of Baelor - I'm not sure.betiko wrote:Do we agree that grandma tyrell is the last one left??

sempaispellcheck wrote:Garlan maybe, but Willas was definitely separate - I remember Olenna proposing to marry Sansa to him at one point, shortly before Joffrey's death.

f*ck you TK elf.
She was like "oh nooo maybe that's not what I want... Jon is indeed a fucking bastard from the south, and I saved winterfell with that fine gentleman who will help me raise Ramsey's son in king's landing while we torture some lannisters"
