Wasn't Lysol based on lye at some point? Maybe Tarly just learned about its antiseptic properties from his time as a commander on campaign. He was just applying hard-earned wisdom.

Well the "small amount of screen-time during the season, yet his character is of key importance" does make me think of an older Howland Reed seeking out Jon to tell him the big secret personally, not trusting it to a raven or other messenger. That could be how the ToJ scene plays out, as Howland's retelling of it.

Though he would make the perfect Merwyn. We'd have to assume that Merwyn becomes a more important player in everything later on though.

They already had him in the show and seemed to write out any known scene he could have been in.

I don't blame you for wiping the scene from of your memory. I suppose they could re-cast someone else for flashbacks with a younger Brynden tho.

Widow's Wail have been passed on to Tommen. Tyrion guesses theirs maybe 200 Valyrian blades in Westeros but a lot of those could be daggers and steak knives. Each sword seems to be a big deal, Tywin couldn't buy one, they're all named. I think I remember reading that a house would be considered fortunate to have one so they're not super common.
That part is a bit inconsistent. Unless some 5 of those 'blades' were actual swords and the rest were steak knives, the Lannisters could've gotten one. There's only a hundred or so real houses in Westeros.

There's apparently a bit of lore why the Lannisters don't have a valyrian sword while shitty broke-ass northern houses have them all in those supplementary books GRRM co-wrote with other people. Like the atlases and the world-of-ice-and-fire etc. It's inconsistent if you're stepping into the show and you ask why a broke-ass house from Bear Island has a sword that their lord takes into the Night's Watch with him while the richest man on the continent doesn't have one etc. The Lannisters are a relatively young house and their last few lords, including Tywin's father, were drunken spendthrifts while a lot of the northern houses are ancient.

It's never mentioned in the books, GRRM said in some interview or something that it was passed on to Tommen. In the show, as Chaos mentioned, he's holding it as he lays in state, so Tywin would have had to nick it on the sly to keep Cersei from flipping out over it.
I seem to remember in the show that Twyin took it from the corpse after he visted Cersi and she was all like, "Daddy you suck stop killing my babies we have to kill everything".

The wiki says Tommen has it. AND WHO ARE WE TO QUESTION THE WIKI UPKEPT BY SWEATIER NERDS THAN US?!?!

Can't wait until Chris Pratt plays Robert Baratheon in a flashback fighting Rhaegar Targaryen, played by Tom Hiddleston, on The Trident. Lyanna Stark, played by Jennifer Lawrence, then dies in the Tower of Joy.

Do we get to see her cooter when she gives birth to Jon Snow?
