I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Listened to some podcasts and read some articles today, and the most important question yet to be answered is, I think: where is Little Finger and what's he working on? I'm thinking that his plan probably was to pit the Lannisters against the Boltons--from everything we've seen, few people probably know that he shepherded Sansa to Winterfell. But the death of Myrcella will probably soften this blow a bit: Cersei is less likely to give a shit about a Bolton betrayal now that she's going to try and protect Tommen at all costs. So when Mayor Carcetti of the Vale returns, will he actually not have the upper hand?

Also seen some theories about this being Cersei's last season, but that would mean (to fulfill the witch's prophesy) that Tommen would have to go out, too.

We've had the official titles for episodes 2 and 3 for a few weeks, but here come the preview synopses!
Spoiler: show
SE06EP02 - "Home"
Bran trains with the Three-eyed raven. In King’s Landing, Jaime advises Tommen. Tyrion demands good news, but has to make his own. At Castle Black, the Night’s Watch stands behind Thorne. Ramsay Bolton proposes a plan, and Balon Greyjoy entertains other proposals.

SE06EP03 - "Oathbreaker"
Daenerys meets her future. Bran meets the past. Tommen confronts the High Sparrow. Arya trains to be No One. Varys finds an answer. Ramsay gets a gift.
I'm thinking:
Spoiler: show
Super excited that we're heading to the Iron Islands next episode. I imagine this week's Bran storyline is going to be sort of vanilla--kind of a review of the kinds of powers he's working on. Next week's episode--3, that is--might be when we get the Tower of Joy flashback. Then Jon comes back to life in 4? We'll see.
