This is old business, but since Mace is off to meet with the Iron Bank, I'm wondering... Any thoughts on why the showrunners depict the Lannisters as being broke // their gold mined out??

im not sure if thats a spoiler, or a blatant change from the book. either way, i think the purpose of it is to further emphasize that Tywin was literally the only thing in the world keeping his family at its status, and now that hes gone, that family will crumble down brick by brick.

I think the Lannisters are broke in the book as well I can definitly get behind Tywin keeping up the appearence to keep his family in power with his gold mines dwindling.

They needed a reason for Ser Maryn Trunt to go to Bravos so Arya can murder him in place of Daeron. I think Mace is actually an afterthought actually it's Trunt who is the one who needed to go to Bravos.

Also, I hate the new sandsnakes and I don't think Bronn is going to make it out alive.

R.I.P Ser Grandpa as well.

I felt like Selmy might be killed at Battle of Meereen based on twow chapter - hated to see him go down in an alley. Looked and fought like a badass though.

My first thought on Tywin saying they were broke was to put more pressure on Cersei to play ball and marry Loras. Just don't see them broke, book-wise. But, the Lannisters are going down.

Cersei assigned Trant to Mace for a reason -- with bad intentions. A simple shove while at sea would do it. Maybe Cersei doesn't go that far, but she's winning battles, not the war. I agree, Arya & Trant will meet.

The Iron Bank is in an interesting position, backing Stannis and all.

The whole point of Mace and Meryn going to Braavos is to incorporate the chapter "Mercy" that was released awhile back as a new arya chapter from winds of winter. Although in the book chapter it isn't ser Meryn that accompanies Mace, its another person on arya's list.

So I like that they are setting up a sweet kill of ser Meryn. I hate him so much. Especially in the show. In the books he's bad but as pointed out in one of sansa's chapters "Ser Meryn simply doesn't care". They went to great lengths to make him much more evil in the show.

I don't think anything untoward will happen to Mace on the trip. If it does it will be completely made up just for the show. I think the point was just for Cersei to get rid of him for awhile so she could set up his daughter and her brother. Cersei thinks he's a bumbling old fool that won't be able to do anything once Margaery is imprisoned. Although in the books he parks an army outside the sept and gets her released to his custody...could happen that way again. I love the old switcheroo that gets pulled on Cersei. She is far to smug for her own good.

[holahouze]

You're probably right about Mace. The Lannister - Tyrell divorce is gaining steam, but it's probably too early. Just find it pretty interesting that Trant and Mace make the Braavos trip (Mace didn't go in "Mercy", right?) and Cersei brings back Littlefinger to KL.

The Lannisters are not broke in the books. When LF informs Ned of the crown's debt, it's also mentioned that a significant percentage of that debt is owed to the Lannisters.

Dany's journey has been the most frustrating for me to both read and watch. Hatching those dragons was the most magical turn, but the storyline is a mess. Just don't get why she didn't spend every waking minute figuring out how to control them. I'm ready for the two in the dungeon to jail-break.

Trusted Advisor tells her stories about her crazy father burning innocent people alive.

Trusted Advisor dies so she honors him by burning innocent people alive.

They are giving Missandi so much screentime because she's a Faceless man and she will replace Izembaro that Arya is being sent too in TWOW.

Also, looks like Ser Jorah is taking over conningtan's role as noble dude with Greyscale this pretty much confirms Aegon won't be in the show.

Poor Jorah

Nice pic, Jorah's jealous. He never made Dany laugh like that. Jorah has had a hard-knock life, at least the show made him good looking. Greyscale should set him up to go out in a blaze of glory.

I've been holding out hope that showrunners have 3 seasons to work in Connington-Aegon. They seem to be sprinting through books 4-5. Its hard to fathom how that storyline is/was expendable. What a weird situation. Would love to know how those Weiss/Benioff + Martin meetings go down.

If Missandei is a FM, that is a long con. I don't see it, how did you puzzle that out? Who is her target? How is she going to hook-up with Arya? I've regarded Izembarro as a friend of FM, one who will teach Arya mummer skills.
