I structured things a bit differently this week. Normally I include all of the scenes at one setting in the same group, but because Sansa and Littlefinger traveled throughout multiple areas that also saw other characters, I grouped them all separately, in the order in which they occurred.
***BOOK SPOILERS IN MY THOUGHTS AT THE BOTTOM***
Recap
Opening title sequence: King's Landing, Moat Cailin, Winterfell, The Wall, Braavos, Meereen
Braavos Part 1
-The House of Black and White is filled with a bunch of creepy statues.
-Arya has taken up janitorial work, and she's not happy about it. She questions Jaqen, but he reminds her that all men must serve, and that she has to become no one and serve the Many-Faced God.
Best quote: "There is only one god. A girl knows his name, and all men know his gift" - Jaqen
King's Landing Part 1
-Cersei is irritated to hear the people cheering for "Queen Margaery" on the way to Tommen and Margaery's wedding.
-We skip the boring stuff and head straight to the final vow of the wedding ceremony, and what I can only assume is Tommen's first kiss.
-Cersei wants to smack the smug smirk of Margaery's face, and for once, I kind of want to too.
-Since all the kids have been aged up for the show, they apparently decided it wasn't necessary for Margaery to be "thrice wedded, never bedded", because we cut to their wedding night, where sweet Tommen is concerned he may have hurt his bride, which Margaery seems to find amusing. This also kind of reaffirms the popular "Marg is definitely not a virgin" theory.
-Like most teenage boys, Tommen just wants to have sex all the time.
-Tommen feels weird that he doesn't feel guilty about getting his new life because Joffrey died, but really, I think Cersei (and maaaaybe Jaime) is the only one who cares that he's dead.
-Margaery, master manipulator, cons Tommen into wanting to get rid of Cersei so that he can have some space without her helicopter parenting.
-While on a walk with Cersei (who gives off some very Regina George vibes with all the "She's certainly very pretty, isn't she?"), Tommen tries to convince Cersei to go home to Casterly Rock. Cersei's Margaery senses start tingling.
-Margaery brags about all the sex she and Tommen had to Cersei and rubs her face in the fact that she's the queen now, because their cat fight will never stop.
Best quote: "What's the proper way to address you now? Queen Mother, or Dowager Queen?" - Margaery
