I Was Told the Golden Company Had Elephants

"Then Euron and some guy named Captain Strickland of the Golden Company(?) have an audience with Cersei. Has Captain Strickland ever been on this show before? Because he did not ring any bells. And I don’t think we’ll need to get too used to him either because apparently he promised Cersei Lannister elephants and did not deliver. And she was NOT HAPPY. There was a period of several months when the elephant habitat at the L.A. Zoo was under renovation and visitors couldn’t see any elephants, and my children got over their elephant disappointment quicker than Cersei Lannister can. Much later in this episode, we find her still ruminating about these damned elephants. It makes me think that as long as the Night King shows up with a couple of elephants, she’ll just hand over Kings Landing without a fight. In fact, that’s my new prediction for how this season is going to end. Mark it down. The last scene of the season will be Cersei Lannister frolicking with elephants on the beach while everyone else in King’s Landing gets slaughtered by zombies, and a string ensemble plays a mournful version of Henry Mancini’s “Baby Elephant Walk.” Count on it!"
