I feel like both of the Tyrell women on the show were pretty perfect. And idk, I find Cersei's elephant fixation and weird friendship with Qyburn sort of endearing.

Olenna ruled but I always felt like Marge was a Ned character too. She falls into the category of tries to play the Game of Thrones but was in way over her head. She also kinda had no shame with Renley and Tommen.

Cersei is a weird one. I want to like her because she got the short end of the stick in her life and has had a lot of poo poo thrown at her, but she tries to be Tywin and doesn't have any of the political saavy.

Margery was great at scheming and executing her plans, but at the end of the day she was a woman in a man's world and a man forced her to stay in a building while it blew up.

I'd say Margery, like the Tyrells, was only as strong as the allies she made in the end, tho she was very good at making them and knew how to play that game. At first said allies were the Lannisters directly with Joffrey, but then it became Tommen aaaaand...yea, he was too weak to defend her properly. So she got nabbed by the Sparrows and came under their 'protection', but they were religious idiots that severely underestimated Cersei, so the Tyrells died thanks to being dragged down by the stupidity of those they worked with, essentially.

Olenna was the only one that escaped that fate...and she, too, died due to Tyrion being a dunce with his strategy.

I'm still thinking about the post earlier asking what if the Zombie Mountain is the only person she talks to. Just Cersei telling him about her day and sharing gossip

Idk, I guess I don't really count them not being exactly successful against them being good characters :shrug:. One of my favorite things about book Cersei was that she was turning a little Robert-y in that she was drunk all the time and getting too fat for her clothes.

Book Cersei is an example of Martin's actual strengths as a writer. He expresses her viewpoint so perfectly that instead of hating her for being a petty spiteful bitch you yourself become a petty spiteful bitch as you read it

None of the leaks say Tyrion dies, they're just speculating the Winterfell dead will be iced and kill everyone in the crypts like some people here

So are the rules on rising the dead known at this point? Is it enough to just die in the north? Does the skellington king have to be within a certain mile radius to auto-rez all the fossils? What with them namedropping dat crypt so loving often it would be weird if they didn't make dead SkeleStarks pop up to nibble on people.

So far looks like the bodies need to be within 100-200 yards of NK and he raises arms up.

By the way, Sophie Turner's family adopting the dog that played Lady irl may be the most :3: behind the scenes thing about the show, imo.

Symbolism, and they're badass.

In the books its not just Bran that can warg, so its a bigger deal. They all warg into their wolves.

Did they? My friend visited all the dire wolfs in a behind the scenes thing for her youtube and they were all there.

Edit: just looked it up she did adopt her. Funny side point, the whole reason the dogs were CGI'd out was because the real dogs weren't good at following directions and they didn't get that big after season 1.

In the books, almost definitely. In the show I kinda doubt they'll show up, but I'm not completely writing it off yet. I feel like the Nymeria scene last year was D&D's way of going 'okay book readers look she exists but we aint using her so arya's gna say goodbye'

Well the VFX boss man said that Ghost has significant screen time this season, and they did kind of show Nymeria and her pack out of nowhere last season so I wouldn't be shocked of Chekhov's Wolf shows up.
