Maybe changing their relationship is part of speeding that up? I don't know.

Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Maybe. I can't see how at this point, but maybe.
That pic is great!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If you suspect you're a GRR Martin character you might as well just kill yourself right away, because it is only going to get worse, and be a lot more unpleasant when you do get agonizingly killed.
At the end of the book series, I fully expect only Tyrion, Arya and Dolorous Edd (not yet met in the TV series) will be standing in an ash-clogged hellscape.

IO9 asked who the hero was--I think the closest they came, if the show has one, was Tyrion.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Which one's Tyrion? (I'm having a REALLY hard time keeping track of names!)
t edit never mind -- looked it up -- the dwarf!

Anybody who slaps Joffrey and hates Jamie is a hero in my books right now. We'll see how things go.

I thought at this point only one of the children could be a hero.

We haven't seen Tyrion do anything bad or even regrettable yet. No doubt that'll change, because it seems that's how they roll, but of all the adults so far he seems the most clear-headed, and the most genuinely interested in the wellbeing of anyone not related to him or not able to give him power.
Comfort of knowing you are, have been, and always been on the outside, while having a measure of privilege anyway, I'd guess.

Because books.
Tyrion is definitely my favorite character, although I do like Ned, too. And Arya! She's a hardcore little thing. I'm interested in how Dany is going to evolve, but I'm not sure I *like* her yet.
so far he seems the most clear-headed
Tyrion is definitely a realist, and I appreciate that he's clear about his measure of privilege.
I'm irritated by Sansa, simply because she seems as one-note as Cersei so far. Joffrey, on the other hand, is delicious to loathe.

I can't help but love Arya, which makes me think something is going to go terribly terribly wrong.
Sansa, I kinda buy. She doesn't want to live in the ugliness she lives in, and she buys into the romance of Joffrey. And he's a right two-faced git, who can certainly make it easy. I'd like to think that his getting Lady killed will turn her head in the right direction. But I bet she was the least attached of all the kids to their wolves.
