RIP Ser Pounce, we hardly knew ye.

 

[adj_noun]

He was poisoned by his enemies.

 

[Vinnie20]

As long as Bronn is en route to get his castle i am cool.

 

[NSA]

You gotta be kitten me

 

[I Am Captain America]

 

[Arkeband]

Strangled by the Meowtain, no doubt.

Sir Pounce furst of his name. Will be missed. Baffled by the explanation though:

"Cersei hated the name 'Ser Pounce' so much she could not allow him to survive," showrunner David Benioff tells EW. "So she came up with her most diabolical [execution]. Ser Pounce's death was so horrible we couldn't even put it on the air."

Wondering why the showrunners felt the need to lay this kittes body at the feet of Cersei.

[Joe]

It was the Catspaw Assassin!

 

[Chibs]

Well, I see no reason to continue watching this show now.

 

[Deception]

So Tommen was really jumping after his cat?

 

[Squarehard]

 

[Stinkles]

Stark news for Kat.

 

[Ravelle]

He "slipped and fell" off a bridge just like Balon Greyjoy.

 

[BDS]

Well there goes my "Ser Pounce as Azor Ahai" theory.

A death has occurred, have some class!

It's quite literally the one plot line i want to see followed through on.

 

[Punished Goku]

You people have no class! Making Cat puns in light of his life death! This is a CATastrophe!

Thats shiro

 

[Sub Boss]

😢
But i can't accept Cersei would do something so cruel and specially meaningless to her beloved good son, unless it was the time were he was controlled by the sect , and just for the name i assumed Ser something would be a common name for pets anyways

 

[Empress of ice cream]

How dare they? I demand justice!

 

[Ortix]

Meh, that's just show cannon, D&D are making this up.

 

[Croc Man]

Damn, I wanted to make a bad pussy joke.

 

[BasilZero]

They don't want PETA coming at them

 

[Spehornoob]

Was this right after they renamed the cat "Eddard Stark"?

 

[SweetNicole]

 

[Kinthey]

 

[dancingphlower]

I've put up with every death in the series but this is going too far.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

 

[VectorPrime]

Glad they put more effort into explaining the cats death than the blackfish's death. What a stupid ass show.

 

[Matsukaze]

R.I.P.

 

[WhySoDevious]

RIP Ser Pounce

 

[zma1013]

Damn, Sir Pounce was my pick to be the one to win the throne at the end.

 

[Zen]

Should devote a masterfully directed 10 minute scene leading up to the cat's most gruesome death while Cersei drinks wine. Just to drive the atmosphere home

I think it's still one of the best shows on TV but that was inexcusable.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Boo.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

I guess the answer is No

Because if they merely said Ser Pounce died off-screen, a million YouTube videos would pop up immediately explaining it as a tease that Cersei would get killed by Arya disguised as Ser Pounce. You know it's true.

HE WILL RISE

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I don't remember this cat or that he even had a name.

They're trying to make her even more evil. This will hopefully be the line too far for those who weren't already moved by her previous actions.

He has eight more lives, though.

I really do not need any more cat lore videos. I just really did not see any real reason for having Cersei be named by the show runners.

More power to D&D then. Really not a thing that was needed at all fam. It just feels like they have a bone to pick w/ her and only her.
