Lannisters and Tyrells have well-trained, battle tested armies under their disposal. Even if Cercei in her infinite wisdom decided to arm some cult zealots and even if the Lannisters are not liked amongst the populace, it still doesn't explain how the most powerful and rich people of the land have been apprehended and removed from power by a group of fanatics with no financial or military backing.
Agreed! It's just stupid that 2 of the most powerful families in Westeros cannot deal with this cult & have allowed them to gain so much influence. I would've expected them to be crushed (particularly by the Lannisters) and any rebellion from the people to be put down fairly swiftly.

Dorne now seems ready to go to war with the Lannisters and surely Cersei will want revenge for them killing her daughter. I'm expecting a battle at some point this season and we could see some sort of alliance between Dorne & the religious cult to bring down the Lannisters.

But I'm hoping both Dorne & the religious cult feck off as I find them both quite annoying.

Well, they have control of the queen right now. Wouldnt it be stupid of Lannisters/Tyrells to attack when the religious nuts could just kill Margeary? Surely they need her back before they can do anything (seems like thats why Tommem didnt do anything when Cersei/Marge were captured).

But now Tommem is back with Cersei (well asking for her help), I can see it happening (an attack).

Can someone put up a map of the kingdoms. I'm always confused about the locations of each of the characters relative to the houses.

Thata what happens when daddy Lannister dies, the kids do dumb shit. Cersei was so eager to control everyone and backstab the Tyrells that she was completeky blindsided. Happens alot in this show.
Yep, no way would Tywin have done that.

My brother has only started watch GoT recently and noticed the singer from Snow Patrol in season 3. Anyone else notice this? Certainly never occurred to me when I was watching it at the time.

Religion the opiate of the masses and all that. Plus remember house tyrell has no troops in the capital so can do feck all about it. House Lannister lost much of their army in the recent wars so is much weakened.

How likely is it Cersei and House Lannister would welcome a large number of potentially hostile Tyrell troops into the capital? As soon as they were finished with the religious nuts who do you think they would turn on next?

Also not sure how far outside the capital this has spread, but if it extends outside the capital now it becomes a tougher thing to squash.

I'm so sorry for bringing it back up.









After multiple watches though, it's vinegar, I too, was on the vanilla wagon when the ep first aired though.

Why on earth would you need to watch it back for clarification?

I still think the "did Jamie rape her or not" debate was better though.

Been a top thread this.

Hopefully we have many more seasons for it to continue.

Anyway what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Game of Thrones.

Anyone know where I might be able to watch this online tonight as I do not own a HBO membership/account.

If anyone requires explanation about the highly likely Tower of Joy flashback and Jon Snow's mum. It is speculation but let's be honest it is happening.
