Game of Thrones begins....

[Siege]

I thought Horn Hill, the seat of House Tarly, was a little too much. I always thought they were a 3rd or 4th rate House.

[Siege]

Riverun was Ok, i guess. To much renaissance instead of late middle ages. Some of the defenses were clearly designed with gunpowder in mind.

What are you thinking of?  Moats, drawbridges, arrow slits and castellation are all pre-gunpowder defenses.

There's a reason that Randyll Tarly is given such respect and a solid position in the books--Tarly holds some strong lands and has a lot of troops of his own.

And might end up being a Targaryen loyalist, but I'm not 100% convinced he'll switch sides soon...

The budget has really increased this season.

[Martinus]

So, do you guys think that the creepy Highsparrow and Marge scene about sex with Tommen was Marge manipulating Highsparrow to get a carte blanche to bonk the kid or not?

[Admiral Yi]

Marge needs permission to fuck her husband?

Marge needs permission to fuck her husband?

ordinarily, no.  But since she had to make atonements, must look pious and all, maybe it was a wise move?

[Zanza]

Wasn't it more him pointing out her marital duties? That sounded a bit like what a Catholic bishop would tell a noblewoman in the Middle Ages.

yeah, but she could have just jumped into bed with her husband after the "incident", but it wouldn't look too pious.  Waiting on the priest to remind her of her duties might have been a smart move, if she plays the long con.

[Zanza]

Which she clearly does as we could see with the small piece of paper with the rose on it that she gave to her grandmother. That must have indicated that she is still loyal to House Tyrell not the Seven.

Unless she's hustling her granny. 

[LaCroix]

I took it that, deep down, she really dislikes tommen for being such a bitch and had zero desire to fuck

Or maybe Tommen still a kid/tween?  That would be rape.

I think she's the the type to fuck so as she gets something out of it and not just an orgasm.
