I thought it was a bit more of a reaction to what had happened and the totality of it all. Basically, war is hell. His character has transitioned from a don't give a crap, I'll just drink and screw my life away, to someone who has seen what this giant chess game does to the "world". There was a time where he wouldn't care if bloodlines got roasted so long as there was a cask of wine nearby and some hotties. His...maturation over the seasons is really good to watch. There is some great character development on this show interspersed with great scenes of badassery.
You may be right. Perhaps he saw Jaime get into the water and float away. Tyrion may have been the only one to know Jaime was there or what he looked like though. In a situation like that everyone scatters. So to expect the whole army to pursue Jaime is a bit much.
Robert Jordan suffered from the same thing though Martin is IMO clearly the superior writer.
At least in Robert Jordan's case, Brandon Sanderson was able to bring it all together into something relatively coherent at the end, which was about the best you could hope for. I kinda imagined something similar happening with GRRM if he doesn't finish it himself as well.
I think she's pregnant and I think she'll die giving birth to a dwarf
From a nerdy-genetics point of view, she is having sex with her twin brother and her family carries genes that produce dwarves. However, Peter Dinklage actually has Achondroplasia, which is a dominant trait. If either of Cersei or Jaime carried that gene they'd be dwarves themselves.

The episodes this season more than prior seasons seem to warrant repeated watching. Because everything is going so quickly and so many threads are being tied together, it's easy to miss content that is only featured momentarily or that needs a little more consideration.
Anyone else think there's a chance we'll see a dragon north of the wall this season as they go to save Jon from white walkers?

I figure she gives birth to the child, but dies in childbirth. Her child is raised by Tyrion and Jamie as a decent person, keeping the house alive but ending the legacy of Tywin Lanister.

This thread is lame now. Can we make things lighthearted and fun again?
One thing I wonder about, there are more and more indications of the intelligence of the dragons. In the last season Tyrion referenced that they might be more intelligent than people. So what do the dragons want out of all this? Are they just like pets that go along with everything, or is there potential for them to exert their own will in pursuit of their own goals as this goes along?
Interesting idea.
I thought it was more of a 'there's more going on beneath the surface' observation, kind of like how pigs are apparently smarter than dogs (but my dogs are certifiable morons, so . . . )
Episode 6 has officially leaked online which I saw last night. Just be aware it does have a huge holy **** moment so be careful on social media throughout the week, spoilers will be out.
For those of you who can't wait, if you type in #GOT on twitter or instagram the spoilers will pop up including clips from the episode.
again, if you watch the leak you can say it, but I don't want to read "btw there's a big huge holy crap moment get ready for it!!!" because that affects how I watch the thing, I'll be sitting there looking for it. blah it's so far in advance that it's gonna get sketchy in here no matter what, so I'll just come back when everyone's "caught up"...
