I don't even think Cersei is done. I think she is just about to get started thanks to Varys...
Can you refresh my memory? I remember her taking the walk of shame and don't recall her doing much after that.

Robb was a great warrior but his political acumen was lacking. He was Ned's son indeed...
Any bright ideas as to what the "one word" Brienne shouted out was?
Sword
GRRM confirmed it
Robb's problem was that the Riverlords declared him their king as well. Being King of the North = great idea.I think Robb declaring himself King in the North was one of his biggest mistakes. He let the Greatjon and the rest of his bannerman gas him up. When he did that any possibilty of an alliance with any great house vanished. None of the people who laid a claim to the Iron Throne would have accepted being king of only half a kingdom. Even bytch ass Renly warned Catelyn about that.
Another great mistake was sending Roose Bolton away, and not just because it would have prevented the Red Wedding. If Roose was there to throw cold water on the KITN idea and advise Robb adopt a more...conciliatory position, Robb could have allied himself with Stannis and the war would have been won.
He sent Roose away because Roose scared him.

Yeah, I ended up googling it after I made the post. That's what people speculated. Didn't know it was confirmed though.
Why did she say sword?
Stark's stay losing:
Robb - Murdered by Frey's and Lannister's
Bran - Crippled by a Lannister
Eddard - Beheaded at command of a Lannister
Catelyn - Murdered by Frey's and Lannister's
Sansa - Held captive by Lannister's, forced to marry a Lannister troll, beaten and herbed by Lannister's
Winterfell - Burned to ground by Ramsey, a b*stard.
I could go on and on about the Stark's getting sonned.
Littlefinger is the only dude to fukk with the Starks and not get payback at this point, Winter is Coming for that sneaky muthafukka though.
Robb - Freys getting got ALL OVER the Kingdom for what they did to him. Lannisters
Bran - the Lannister that crippled him has been crippled himself. Plus Bran is on that God shyt, Jamie's arms literally too short to box with the god now
Eddard - Joffrey Again, Littlefinger the only one that got away with this.
Catelyn - Taking down the Freys, and pretty much everyone else, one by one.
Sansa - indirectly killed Joffrey, doomed Tyrion which in turn got Tywin got. Plus she about to start playing the game of thrones...
Winterfell - Theon RAmsay about to get it, "The North Remembers"
Don't get me wrong - the Starks got theirs.
Targaryens were virtually annihilated though, the Lannisters are worse off. Noone is going to avenge Tywin or Joffrey, while most of the north is still riding for Ned & Robb.
Just waiting for the Greatjon to be released...
There are people who are'nt that far, it's done as a courtesy
