Game of Thrones Season 5 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[FatAndFaithless]

Tommen....  How outclassed you are by the women in your life...  On the one hand this kid needs to step up and be king, recognize that he has the power to make shit happen, on the other hand, I get that he doesn't want to kill people to get what he wants.  But seriously, dude!  Before this episode he was a sweet kid who had power thrust upon him and wasn't ready to handle it.  Now he's turning into a spineless namby-pants.  Tommen needs to grow a pair and send Cersei to Casterly Rock.

Cersei is an idiot.  I know she thinks she's getting her way and making an ally with that high sparrow guy and arming all those kooks, but this is going to come around and bite her in the ass.  I can't remember if it was posted in here (and I'm too lazy to look) or whether my friend told me this but

---

I heard that Cersei basically sics the morality police on Margaery for not being a virgin and it swings around to bite Cersei because Lancel is now one of the sparrows and know what she's been up to.

---

Cersei is a bitch.  Since she's a fictional character, I say that she deserves every shit thing that happens to her.

---

Long story short, yes. But not just for incest, Cersei also is accused of having a hand in the death of the previous High Septon, along with other crimes (including adultery), while Margaery is arrested under accusations of adultery.

---

So now we've gotten the Rhaegar story... and plan for Sansa to be named Wardeness of the North...  Shit needs to start going right for that girl.

Question about the Rhaegar story though:

---

In the show Little Finger says that Rhaegar passed up his wife to give the flowers to Lyanna, or did he say his soon-to-be wife?  In a previous spoiler tag it says that Cersei and Rhaegar were engaged, so was Cersei the one that was jilted?

---

I need to rewatch the episode more closely in that part.

---

Rhaegar was already married to Elia Martel of Dorne (Oberyn's sister) and already had kids with Rhaegar. Rhaegar shocked everyone by naming Lyanna the Queen of Love and Beauty at the tourney instead of Elia. Cersei wasn't ever engaged to Rhaegar, Tywin only proposed it to King Aerys and Aerys scoffed and said she wasn't worthy, which was one of the reasons Tywin stepped down from being Hand of the King and eventually turned against Aerys.
