Just realised Tommen must be freaking out and could command soldiers to kill all the sparrows.

Meryn Trant is the commander now, right? And out of town.

they addressed that. cersei reminded him that if they attack the sept Queen Marge and Ser Loras would likely be killed.

xp tbf in westeros it's quite hard for anyone to do anything without causing bloodshed, may as well just go for it.
i figured cersei was trying to make tommen buy into the idea of the sparrows having an authority and importance beyond just something which she was bestowing upon them. except then they lock her up and suddenly they actually do.

I think you're overrating the abilities of a one handed man a bit is all, albeit largely bc nothing motivates anyone like religious fury

when people were saying at the beginning of the season that religion was going to start playing a bigger part on the show, I didn't know that meant religious dudes were going to take over and put everyone in dungeons

This show has totally turned into of Game of Goth. Someone should do a parody in the style of Hammer.

its more abt authority than physical might, kings landing is basically experiencing a power vacuum cause the king is a little kid and the hand of the king is impulsive and cruel, i may be giving the show too much credit tho

Too much credit? I mean it's pretty clear that's what they're going for. The scenes in King's Landing have always explored power dynamics on some level.
They haven't done too much heavy signposting here but #occupybaelorscrypt has been pretty on the nose.
In a similar vein to what you were saying, Jamie as somebody that administers violence as his day job would have instinctively understood why arming the faith militant is an insanely bad idea when they draw from a much larger and less controllable recruiting pool (poor people) than the Kingsguard and gold cloaks (people the crown can afford to pay).
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 10:05 (nine years ago) link
The only scenes I really liked in this episode were those between the High Sparrow and Diana Rigg/Cersei. Jonathan Pryce is a great addition to the cast, and I'm now kind of on his side in wanting to overthrow the corrupt nobility.

idg the sand snakes or that weird scene in the cells, but at least they didn't kill off Bronn
― painfully alive in a drugged and dying culture (DavidM), Tuesday, 26 May 2015 10:37 (nine years ago) link
idg the sand snakes
They are good at killing people, also hot.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Tuesday, 26 May 2015 10:42 (nine years ago) link
Anyway they and Bronn are probably going to team up and escape.
Most of that scene makes sense eventually if you give it enough thought but then you ask yourself why you're working so hard to justify tits on HBO.
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 10:57 (nine years ago) link
Actually I predict her and Bronn are going to get it on, and he'll have to choose between her and a quiet life in a big castle with his frumpy bride.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Tuesday, 26 May 2015 11:05 (nine years ago) link
Clearly they're setting up a spin-off with Bronn and the Sand Snakes solving crimes and generally getting into mischief in Dorne.
