Rikon will be a plot device down the road if anyone finds out he is alive since he's a male heir to Winterfell.

And they are setting Cersei up to be a victim. The "rape" was step 1 and her being actually sensible even though yes, it was to get support for Tyrion's trial, I actually fealt bad for her last episode.

Bran should just take over Hodor 24/7.

Of course she is, but I can't be the only one who fealt just a bit sorry for her after Margery didn't know if she should call her sister or mother. Cersei looked sad instead of outraged.

I'm largely incapable of feeling any kind of sympathy for Cersei. Maybe some of that comes from having read the books and knowing what she is capable of, but she just isn't a good person. I take anything she says with the proverbial grain of salt.


Also, Rickon will only be back if he has some part to play in the end game, imo... In the show anyway. I'm kinda hoping that he's not.

Ha. I loved how Margaery so casually slipped that in there. Especially after Cersei's comment last season - “If you ever call me sister again, I’ll have you strangled in your sleep.”

Of course they were all from her drunken, paranoid point of view... If we were supposed to feel bad for her in any way, Martin failed.

Spoiler:
I thought the point of those chapters was to show that unlike her father and youngest brother Cersei isn't all that smart?

I never felt sorry for her from any of her POV chapters. And I agree with the idea that making her a POV character is to show just how big a screwup she is. Certainly Varys thinks so, since before killing Kevan Lannister Varys told him that he couldn't let Kevan fix Cersei's mistakes.

I thought the point of a lot of her POV material was to highlight gender inequities and her being passed around as currency by her father. If it's about her being a dumb dumb I have some re-reading to do

I think it may be a little of both given how
Spoiler:
everything she does in Book 4 that she thinks is brilliant ultimately blows up in her face.
