Thats way better than what Snow/Sansa/Melisandre/Wildlings/Davos will do to him 5 episodes down the road.

Are these episodes a few minutes shorter than normal? I thought the older ones went pretty close to the 1 hour mark, but with all the new HBO poo poo at the start and end, they still come in under the 1 hour.

When the High Septon was like "together we can overthrow an empire!" I was like "Bro you just gave away your entire game plan. You just gave away the game. You can't pretend anything anymore and you're gonna be on the receiving end of Lannister Fun Times." also: Genocide Tendency posted:Better one was when that giant yanked a dude off a rampart and smashed him against Castle Black's wall.

The problem is the peasants are more willing to side with the sparrows at the moment. Have to get the city to turn on or at least fear the church fundies first. Then you trap them in the church and burn it down.

Yeah let's be real here, the Lannisters aren't winning any popularity contests anyway, might as well go Full Stalin. The alternative is to let those fucks keep the queen locked in a dungeon cell and keep humiliating the royal family. Gonna be interesting to see if they execute Sir Loras Tyrell as a display that they will absolutely execute Queen Margery if pushed.

Bronn gonna show up to help out Tommen since he is bros with both his Uncles, DMX will start playing and he will go straight up "The Raid" on the Sparrow boys until he comes out with Marge on his shoulder and holding the decapitated head of the High Sparrow himself

It would easily kick off another kingdom-wide war, which they'd be unable to deal with because would take their army to crush a city.

In the books there was a knightly order who carried around crystals or something like that for the rich crazies. The poor crazies got handed a begging bowl and a mattock and got told to clump up with other poor religious nuts and smash whores or whomever.

I could see a chance for success if they cordoned off the area around the sept and went nuts. But a city-wide pogrom is a bad idea.

Lannisters will roll into the church and crush some fools. The plebs will cry and also get crushed then run away. The commonfolk in this story always get loving crushed.

The only thing I could see being an issue is Tommon being held hostage...actually that seems as likely a way as any for him to get ganked (in line with the prophecy).

provided they just kill the sparrows and don't burn down the sept or whatever I don't think there'd really be an issue. Then again I'm someone who has read the books and is actually looking forward to the last one despite the fact that I'm having all the major plot points revealed to me by the TV show so who cares.

I love the books and think the tv show compliments them, but there's no way i'm waiting until 2084 for book 15 to come out before I watch the tv series. They'll be different enough anyways that most of it will be new.

Marge is gonna kill herself after she gets brainwashed by the High Sparrow and Cersei gets Tommen to launch a raid to kill the Sparrows and rescue her. Tommen will be crushed and end up making Joffery's lack of concern for the lives of his people look like Mother Teresa

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:
This is a really dumb rabbit hole, but I'm procrastinating from other stuff.  The Crusades don't compare because it was thousands of miles from the Crusaders' capitals. Justinian smashed about one city block's worth of rioting, not an entire city. Basically more like what I suggested about surrounding the sept. The Lannisters are already hugely unpopular everywhere except Casterly Rock. Even their allies are fed up with them, and they're facing a major threat from Dorne even if they only partially realize it. The Tyrells are a question mark at this point, since Margaery is still rotting away under the sept; whether they continue to support the Lannisters probably comes down to whether she dies in this hypothetical anti-sparrow police action. She probably does, so they're probably out. The bulk of the Lannister army has to engage the sparrows all over the loving place which means smaller patrols vs a large formation, while the kingsguard, gold cloaks, and probably part of the army burn the city. Whether the other kingdoms realize they're stamping out the sparrow problem or not, you can bet the North is waiting for an excuse to rise up again, likewise the Ironborne, and Dorne is already acting up. Razing King's Landing and declaring war on the faith (not that the North cares about that part) seems like it might qualify. That's a bad situation to walk into without consideration.
