Also, think Walter Frey is gonna throw in with the Lannisters? And Sansa and Jon Snow owe him big time for their brother and mother!

I think Frey is going to meet up with ninja-chameleon-assassin Arya before long.

Granted, I may have missed it - but why do you think the Tyrells are walking into a trap?

I have a feeling that the high Sparrow told Tommen that the Tyrells killed Joffrey. He would know this because Loras probably broke down and told him. Tommen then informee his mom. Cersei always has an ulterior motive and every dead body (faith militants and tyrells) is a victory for her without expending any soldiers or resources whIle 2 of her enemies lose.

Huh I had not thought of it this way, but could definitely see it.

Only thing is the High Sparrow wouldn't agree to conspiring to murder all the Tyrells.... I think the Lannisters will backstab both the faith and the Tyrells.

Funny thing is that will leave the Lannisters standing alone against Dorne when they come calling.

Also the song the winds of castemere was playing when cersei and Tommen were talking. Same song during the red wedding.

Would be interesting if Cersei tries to double cross the faith and Tyrells and winds up getting tricked by both and killed.

Well Margery is the Queen. Wouldn't surprise me if Old Lady Tyrell and Margery set the whole fucking thing up in the first place.

In the scenario bamainatlanta is going with, the High Sparrow would not be murdering the Tyrells, the faith militants would be defending themselves against the attacking Tyrells. Neither side is in on the conspiracy. Cersei wins regardless of who is left standing, and the winner of that battle will be left weakened, militarily politically or both.

I love the theory.

If it does go down like this the Tyrells would win the battle, actual warriors v creepy little monks, but the Tyrells would take a huge PR hit for attacking the church.

Yes the Faith are just defending themselves if they are not conspiring with the Lannisters, but if Tommen knows Tyrells killed Joffrey and told Cersei and she is bringing the Tyrells in to attack the faith, I don't believe Cersei is conspiring with the faith like "Ok so they will attack you, but you will know it is coming and I will bring my guys in behind them and we will kill them all".... High Sparrow would not go for this.

I think the idea is correct though, Tyrells come in to attack the faith and then the Lannisters will butcher the remaining Tyrell guys and Mace and the old bish and Margeary and Loras.

Though I could also see Tommen not wanting Margeary to die, so he tells High Sparrow and High Sparrow talks to Mace and the Lannisters all die having been caught trying to kill both the Tyrells and the Faith militant.

I think one of those 2 things happens.... either way it will be good lol.

Yeah this is a great story line, it's even better that Cersei started all this shit and got the walk of shame. Kinda hoping Margaery gets the walk before the battle, just from a purely perv perspective.

I love a little alliteration.

The letter sent to Jon snow was a fake. Earlier in the series, Ramsey sends his letters with flayed skin on it not a wax seal.

I thought that too. If so, I think Little finger sent Jon the letter as part of his game.

Bingo. The letter said "Come and see" and when Littlefinger greets Robin at the Vale, he tells him to "come and see..."

Littlefinger wants the North and I think he is trying to start a Cersei-type situation in which both the Boltons and the Starks are decimated. He'll show up after the battle and clean house with The Vale's soldiers. He will then kill off Robin's generals and then Robin himself.

Why you people think I picked Littlefinger? He is in it for the long game.

It's so weird that the Starks, arguably the main family in this whole thing, suffer the most.

Well, you see, there is this sadistic guy named George R. R. Martin....

In reality, it would seem that Martin focuses on punishing the idealists and rewarding those which are willing to compromise their morals.
