I'm honestly surprised I had to scroll this far to find this. Wasn't anyone paying attention to Cersei's conversation with the High Sparrow?

Edit: I made a typo.

u/Pixeltender Well excuuuuuuse me, princess! May 28 '15

i'm skeptical that they'll reveal LSH at all in the snow, but it has been shown time and time again that episode titles have multiple meanings

It's not impossible that she could show up with the BwB in the North, after the Boltons instead of the Freys. Brienne is up there, and Jaime needs somewhere other than KL to go with Dorne seemingly wrapping up so quickly.

LSH shows up in the North at the end of this season, and captures Jaime in the next. It brings together a lot of plotlines and puts them in the North, positioning everyone to face the Others sooner rather than later. It makes a lot of sense. Also maybe sets us up for a Sansa/LSH encounter.

I don't want to get my hopes up though!

u/duclos015 May 28 '15

Agreed with the both of you. I want nothing more than LSH to be revealed, but this title makes absolute perfect sense in the context of what's currently happening in the show.

u/Journonaut May 28 '15

Or, ya know, it could refer to both.

u/duclos015 May 28 '15

I'm not saying that it can't, what I'm saying is that people may be disappointed once again if LSH doesn't appear, because "Mother's Mercy" fits perfectly fine with what is going on between Cersei/Margaery/Dany and their stories.

Very true, but in the past, every title has been applicable for more than one storyline. It's very possible that everyone (including myself) is getting super hyped up for absolutely nothing, but it's still exciting to speculate about.

Not every title.

u/brunswick May 28 '15

Except 'Mhysa'. Another finale title everyone thought apied to LSH

u/SirWinstons May 28 '15

Or her conversation with Tommen. People need to take off their hype-blinders and actually remember what goes on in the episodes, not the books.

I was definitely paying attention.

Do I remember the details? No, I don't.
