When white walkers are pwning westeros, how do you expect the mother of dragons will become marginalized?

I've said it before but I'm 99% certain that Myrcella is going to be killed by Cersei's batshit insane assassination plot of Trystane Martel.
The only way to King's Landing from Dorne is going to be through territory taken by Aegon so she will be disguised as a boy to make it. Trystane isn't going because they found out about the plot. So Cersei's assassins will think that Myrcells is Trystane and shoot her.
The only hitch is that I think her Kingsguard is going after Darkstar first so maybe she goes without him knowing leaving her further unguarded and unprepared.

I feel that there is absolutely no way the reality of the books is going to live up to that analysis and those expectations, hah. Jesus man, I am a huge fan of this series and really all of GRRM's work, but that is taking it to a level that is too weird even for me.

This is a pretty good guess but I hope it doesn't play out like that. Honestly I'd love it if after the march of shame Cersei changes character in the same way Jaime did. That hope is partially inspired because after 5 books and 4 seasons of her and Catelyn being crazy mothers I've had enough.

Yeah he pretty much said the exact opposite in one of the S1 commentaries about Osha and how that character is portrayed in the show vs. the books. That could just be the stiffy that Natalia Tena gives him talking though.

What did you lot think of the scene with Jamie and Cercei? On reddit it's all "omg rape" and how it was supposedly out of character for Jamie.
Personally, I didn't think it came across as rape at all. To me it seemed she was reluctant at first (I guess in a church next to your dead child is not the most appropriate location) but gave in to lust later.

Rape. Not too out of character though as Jamie isnt exactly a white knight of virtue. Also doing it next to a corpse of your kid is..gross? And i was just beginning to like Jamie

In the show I think the twins are supposed to be ~40ish. Recall a comment about Jaime's age in one of this season's episodes.
I think it's also pretty clear that Tywin's goal is to fortify House Lannister's position as the #1 house/rulers of Westeros. Not really a selfish goal, per se.
EDIT: I'd say it was rape, as well. I'm not too lenient on things like that, though. I found it to be out of character for him.

It seems like twow is the first book made after the success of GoT, so I imagine if we see any stark movements of characters from how they were portrayed in the books to how they're portrayed in the show we'll probably be enlightened a little.
Then again, almost all the main characters had huge changes in the 4th and 5th book. I can't think of any characters who both had their characters changed somewhat for the show and won't have those small changes be devoured by the huge changes in books 4/5.

I think if you look at it from the perspective of opportunity cost, that's probably spot on. Of his three children, Tyrion is the one that possesses the most of the right qualities of his father for insuring the long term success of House Lannister, and that just further inflames Tywin's disdain of the "least" of his offspring. If he could have ever just said "fuck it" with respect to his perceived failings, his house would have been the better for it. Instead Tywin chose to scatter that to the wind.
