Shit really boggles my mind he threw it all away for a peasant and thought his people would accept it. Green as grass.
I wish you good fortune in the wars to come

She wasn't a peasant tho lol. Talisa Maegyr is highborn.
I just hope we get another Dark Queen Cersei scene like this before her reign inevitably ends.
how can a joke be a prediction? That is not how things work.
"Turns out Jon is actually Superman" is not a spoiler or a prediction.
That was the last we saw of her and she might still be alive down in the dungeon? Bets on her being forgotten? lol
The thought I'm most worried about/disturbed by is her pulling something like this with
wildfire on Daenerys and/or Jon.
"I've heard you are immune to fire, my maester and I would like to test that theory"
or
"Starks should not travel south. I saw to what was done to Eddard Stark here first hand. I remember what happened to your uncle and grandfather when they traveled here to meet the mad king –or should I say your grandfather? I've heard you're a very brave man, Warden of the North. Can you save this false queen you chose to kneel to instead of me?" *Dany gets burned while Jon dies in his own contraption while trying to save her*
Probably way too much of a bummer, and somewhat relies on people knowing history/book stuff, though. Whatever it is, the way those interviews with the actors sound, it seems like it's going to be... not triumphant for anybody.

It's going to be a weird couple of weeks
I can't be on team Cersei if she can't even follow through on her threats to torture someone for years/decades.
May as well just start placing everything in spoiler tags at this point.
I've been watching those videos going around about the lukewarm responses from the cast regarding the conclusion. I can't tell if they're joking.

I'm honestly expecting Cersei to
have a vast undead army of her own thanks to her pet necromancer, especially after he got inspired by seeing the wight.
They have a good relationship that is built over multiple episodes across 2 seasons. This is some nitpicky fear of all changes from the book lazy criticism
It's a joke mocking those book vs show pics that would oversimplify the show's storylines then end with a D&D pic.
I don't think it's a horrible change but it is more cliche and less interesting. Plus it makes him seem reeeeeeeeally dumb.

Just tag your theories. It takes one second + one extra click and it's better for everyone.
Apparently not enough time to have a baby or even have it show.
I mean... maybe, haha
Perhaps. How long do
zombie babies
The line has to be drawn somewhere.
"How about no" is an easy, simple line.

OP
The age of the actors?
The certainly aren't the age in the books
Heh it changes Robb's character a lot. He marries Jeyne out of honor. He marries Talysa because she's hot. One is in line with the character, the other is not.
An actual minor nitpick. In the show they marry by the 7, which makes no sense whatsoever, being as Robb is a Northener and Talysa is from Essos.
Robb married Jeyne out of honor is bull. He fell in love with her and made up an excuse.
You don't need to cross the Twins to reach King's Landing. Robb needed to cross it to go west. But the Kingsroad doesn't go through the Twins.
RT
Don't think people realise this. I was one of them but when examining Robb's war plans he had to cross the Twins to avoid Tywin?
How do you figure? Is there anything in the books you can point to that sustains your argument? Because everything i remember about those sections makes you wrong.
To help with the CGI probably lol
The only sensible plan would be to attack at night like Stannis did.
Yeah. Roose Bolton marched south on the Kingsroad to meet Tywin near the Trident. Robb crossed the Twins so he could go west and then south, so he could surprise Jaime near Riverrun.
Unlike the current stupidity, there used to be actual strategy in GoT.
He... wasn't in love with her, though. Not at first.
The reason he slept with her in the books is because he was heavily drugged on milk of the poppy and other herbs blended by Sybell Spicer, Jeyne's mother (herself the granddaughter of Maggy the Frog, who dealt Cersei her prophecy, and was best known for love potions). Compounding that, while abed, he received news of Winterfell's capture and Bran and Rickon's ostensible deaths.
He slept with Jeyne out of grief, while maliciously drugged out of his mind because Sybell Spicer was conniving with Tywin Lannister, and married her directly after.
This is a good post. I'm still going through my ASOS reread, but if i remember correctly:
She also makes Jeyne drink a herbal tea every day, that is heavily implied to be 'abortion tea', preventing her from giving him an heir.
Correct.
And there's no implied about it — she directly tells Jaime as much later on.
In the tent near Riverrun right? I've only read the last two books once, and little of them is even in the show, so they're a bit fuzzy lol.
Nah, what I mean is in character. Like, Cersei has to be hitting menopause age in the show by now, right?
woooow lol
even the actors hate it
how can they have fucked this up so bad
OP

What's really interesting is that these aren't long-time actors giving the show this shade. These are actors who basically owe their entire acting existence to the show. No one would know who Emilia Clarke or Kit Harington are if not for this show.
That kind of exposure normally brings with it a kind of eternal gratitude for the opportunity regardless of the quality. It sounds like they've felt this way for some time and are just now letting it out.

The whole atmosphere around this final season in the media is weird. Even in their behind the scenes stuff, people like Dinklage are just openly throwing shade at dumb stuff that has happened on the show
He could have easily claimed as much, but never makes any statements supporting that. He could have fathered a bastard, others have. Marrying her was not honorable.
