Faceless Men is interesting, but I dunno it's all a bit stunted feeling? Like, I'm not suggesting he rush or anything, but it's so far removed from other events it's starting to feel more like a spin-off.

I like Cersei a lot, she's an interesting character to hear about, being clearly batshit. I like Marg too though, and I don't have to pick between them.

I don't understand why people like Cersei at all, and I normally like the villains more than the heroes. She's borderline retarded. It's already clear how much more circumspect and benevolent Margaery will be.

True. It kind of just happens, I think. Margaery would make a great queen but it seems like Varys has other plans. And I take back what I said, I do like Margaery, it's just whenever I read a Cersei chapter I get Stockholm syndrome and identify with Cersei lol

Hopefully, Arya will eventually make it back to Westeros and be able to give the gift of death to all.

Stannis gon' die anyway

Yessss that will be great if the Ep 9 is the scene where Tyrion escapes and goes on a rampage with his crossbow, and Ep 10 will be She don't speak, but she remembers.

It just goes to show how powerful GRRM writing is to make people cheer when a 13 year old suffered and died (even if he did deserve it).

What do you think of Arya's story with the Faceless Men? I like it, but I wish she could still be in Westeros so she could destroy everyone.

I'm hoping for Stoneheart to be set up prior to the finale (have Nymeria drag the body out of the river, have the Brotherhood have a few scenes beforehand, etc,), but I expect they might try and just smash it all into one scene.

Also, I really really enjoyed Arya's Faceless Man story arc at first, but I feel like it's been beaten to death now, and I'm just kind of bored with it? I read GRRM's newest preview chapter (which is from Arya's POV) and I got so bored I started skipping entire paragraphs.

I don't understand why people like Cersei at all, and I normally like the villains more than the heroes. She's borderline retarded. It's already clear how much more circumspect and benevolent Margaery will be.

Considering the fact that she has been abusively raised by a man known for ordering the murder of babies and extinction of Houses, lost her mother at an early age, and had her ambitions crushed by said abusive father, you can't really completely shit on her. She is lied to (in her mind) by her family and anyone remotely close to her(for example, Genna and Tywin telling her she would marry Rhaegar) and she is haunted by an old woman detailing her death and the death of her children. Cersei has been condemned for being a strong female in a world of male dominance, she has been beaten and maritally raped, and she has developed a twisted sense of self, mainly due to a lack of role models/moral development as a child.

So yeah, Cersei is crazy, but there is a reason for her madness. It's not entirely justifiable, but she is literally just repeating and enacting everything she "learned" from Tywin.
