...after Jon tried to spare her from hearing what Ramsay would do to her, I gave her kudos. Reading the rest of letter aloud was like she (figuratively) had some thick-ass armor on. She read it aloud with zero hesitation. She'd come a long way since season 1 - she'd really grown up.
OK so having Ellaria watch Tyene die and rot was **NOT EVEN ON MY RADAR**! I understand Cersei's wrath and desire to hurt Ellaria as much as she hurt Cersei but damn, I mean DAY-UM! I was brainstorming what she'd do for revenge but couldn't figure out what she was going to do...holy hell! My eyes got as big as pancakes as Cersei explained Ellaria's fate.I had to pause the show after that scene bc I was shocked. I mean dayum!
...how did she know that Littlefinger was trying to pin her against her Sansa? She didn't know the context of Sansa's letter. How did he know Arya was watching him when he put that letter in his mattress? When Arya left she seemed to not know that Littlefinger knew she was watching her.
I believe he's a more realist and a cynic. He doesn't trust people's good intentions (thanks to his brother and father), and his cynicism has left him with virtually no friends. Brother Ray helped him change his mindset, but after he was killed, the Hound's cynicism took over full blast. At the same time, he thinks objectivity and pragmatically - he's right about Arya's "safety" - there is no safety. Thoughts?
...Jaime was a damn good brother to Tyrion. Probably one of the few (only?) people who made Tyrion feel like he mattered. My heart broke for him when he discovered Jaime's remains.
...when the Hound revealed the origin of his scars. In that moment, she found herself empathizing and sympathizing with him, because her brothers took care of her...and she had a father who would never, EVER treat her that way. Once she was faced with the choice to kill him or leave him, she **consciously** removed him from her list. Although she was grateful to him for helping her and Sansa, she couldn't forgive him for what he did to her and her family - she still "wanted him to suffer". Thoughts?
Mine is when The Hound buries the farmer and his daughter. The way he tenderly places them in the grave and apologizes; trying to recite the prayer that was said when he first met them. Very moving moment. Thoughts?
...do you think she'd finally forgiven him for all of the hurt he caused? Not saying she became OK with what all he'd done to her and her family. To me, she was coming from a place of "I will always hate what you did to Mycah and my family. But I'm no longer holding it against you, because you also saved us, and I understand you." Thoughts?
