Jaime and Bronn's task seems more impossible than it did before, I thought they were going to go openly and talk. It's a bit too crazy.
I'm really anxious about Varys. How is the poor guy coping with this?

I don't get how Cersei is summoning Littlefinger, and thus obviously knows where he is and what he is doing, and is therefore somehow cool with him having spirited Sansa away?

nah i don't think she knows the extent of his plans. would also not put it past baelish to ignore her summons if he thought it was necessary

Jamie finally twigs that having a solid metal hand can be of some use in combat.
Intense episode, especially all of the swift, out-of-nowhere bad guy attacks. Though I would have expected Ser Lloras and his men to put up more of a fight.
Cersei stepping up and playing the game - using Tommon's ineffectual leadership to undermine Margery was a pretty good power play, though empowering a puritanical army to stamp out sinners is a preeetty risky strategy for her.
The Jon Snow/Melisandre scene was just weird. "I'm going to show you something", "not one of your visions", "nope" *whips out tits*

one wld think the word wld get back to her after the wedding tho
My brother thought that Littefinger's involvement in the marriage deal is a secret between him and the Bolton family even if the Lannisters know his basic whereabouts. But when everyone finds out that Sands is getting married who will they think handed her over?

I doubt that Cersei has thought out the consequences of her actions. She is gaining control over King's Landing at the cost of the city and whatever other areas it controls. Gutting her government's top ranks means that there are fewer qualified people in control. I doubt that giving power to a guy who can't control his own followers was a good idea.
Pretty convenient that the one guard she sent to Braavos was the one on Arya's list.

I thought that Cersei letting the Moral Majority tear up Littlefinger's brothels meant that she'd turned against him

cersei doesn't know where lil pete is, in the episode before this bolton gave him a note that had been sent by raven to the eerie (where he's supposed to be) and had been brought to winterfell by a rider.

This thread might be the most unwieldy one on all of ILX. God help you if you want to load all messages to refer back to anything.
Also: This show is confusing!

this show is for one particular nerd, who will be revealed in the final episode when his name is pulled out of a hat and he receives a bag of dragon bones

Even down to inconsistencies like how awhile back one unsullied dude got his nipple sliced off without wincing but Grey Worm howled in pain when he was stabbed.
In the books, the Unsullied were regularly dosed with some anaesthetic drink that dulled their ability to feel pain, but stopped imbibing once White Savior Lady freed them. Don't recall if the show mentioned this or not.
TBH not sure if either GW or Selmy are dead, we could just get a "Meanwhile..." cut to them recuperating next episode. (No spoilers or previews, this is pure speculation.)

season has been somewhat lackluster and wander-y thus far; perhaps we're building to something?

dany is finally at a point where she has no choice but to fully commit to one course or the other, like either dig into meereen for good or give into some concessions and get ready to gtfo (insert arg. about she's been that way since last season etc etc etc).
considering how fast the faith militant began committing hideously violent reprisals on those they deemed "sinners," no way that doesn't get 1,000x worse.

oh, lol nvm. already forgot about the whole leak thing bc i didnt watch them early
All the actors at the premiere kept hinting at a big shocker to come this season. I think maybe Cersei will be killed after the situation she has created gets out of control and Jaime will be left needing to choose a new life.
Sansa/Bolton related thing is probably the strongest bet though.

I kept waiting for Bronn to ask Jaime to give him a hand in the row boat.
― Madison Dumbbarfer (Leee), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 18:11 (nine years ago) link
My speculation is whatever plot that goes on w/ Sansa and the Boltons will be rudely interrupted by Stannis

They actually addressed this you know. Bronn was rowing and gave Jaime a look, Jaime responded by holding his arm up a little and shrugging.

it's been fairly clear this would happen since last season. in that tv way of somebody noticing a member of the opposite sex as signifier for sex scene coming soon.
