    Really good pacing and it's probably due to starting the hour off with the biggest bang. And how gorgeous was it, goddamn!? The literal darkness at Cersei's coronation has gotta be one of the show's most beautiful scenes.

    The master stroke is, of course, the opening 15 minutes: Cersei finally making her move. Just brilliant how the OST is used throughout to keep the viewer captivated throughout the building dread, and that martyr shot of the HS going up in flames was just delicious. That scene is easily top 5 from the entire show's run.

    I nominate this gif to replace DIAFF. Poor Hondo is gonna get sick of seeing this thing.
    No, don't spoil for Derek. He's only mid-season 3 right now I think.

    Cersei was shit on all season, and in one instant she makes the most groundbreaking move in the entire series. Ned's beheading, Red Wedding, Battle of the Bastards, Tywin's death, etc. None of those moments even hold a candle to Cersei practically wiping out Westeros's second wealthiest family along with the entire Faith of the Seven. Her reign won't last long, but god damn that was an awesomely violent ascent to the throne.

    The soundtrack in this episode was amazing.

    That was what took the opening King's Landing scenes over the top for me. It was so ominous and chilling that you just knew shit wasn't going to end well from the get go.

    Overall 10/10 episode, I'll have to rewatch tomorrow but this is the first TV episode I've seriously considered being better than Ozymandias from Breaking Bad.

    Too bad she's a fictional character...then I'd want her to be our AD.

    Can only hope Natalie Dornan's perkies will reappear on some other series.

    @Gladstone (or anyone else in the know) does Westros have absolute primogeniture? I thought that was only a Drone thing. So wouldn't Jamie be king instead of Cersei? Not that it will matter for much longer.

    Didn't Jamie renounce when he became a member of the King's Guard? I cant remember if he was granted everything back when Tommen relieved him of his duties.

    Now that Kevin Lannister is dead, Jamie is head of House Lannister and Casterly Rock.

    Kevan never had title to the house or Casterly Rock.

    Tywin technically made Cersei the Lady of Casterly Rock upon his death, but as soon as Jaime was relieved of his KG duties, title reverted back to him.

    Yeah Kevan was just left in charge of Casterly Rock while the top Lannisters were running shit in King's Landing, but it was never his.

    My brother was wondering why the wildling chic's baby has been a baby for so long.
