When I say I understand her behaviour, I don't mean I empathise with it, because I don't at all. I totally do hold it against her. I just get why she's doing it. I also get why Bieber is cutting out tongues. And I hold that against him.
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Fair enough. I do empathise with Cat, and with Sansa, and even with Cersei to some extent. I don't get Joffrey even on an analytical level.
I think he's a sociopath. . in the books it is noted that he mutilated a pregnant cat as a child.
oh really?
how much detail did they provide in the book because I don't think I can read the books.
no details, just mentioned as a past event that provoked Robert to great anger
eta: well, no detail of *that* incident. The books are super gorey on other events.
From the book. It's not pleasant (it's not described in the book, just mentioned in passing). He's the kind of kid who likes to slice open pregnant cats to see the kittens. They also allude to the fact that he tormented his siblings in some fashion (no details were given though).
Oh, and preemptive squee for True Blood! Can't wait!
Tweets for the GoT finale - v. amusing.
I have to say that when they showed the Cersei/Lancel bedroom scene - it actually took me a second to comprehend that that skinny white shape on the chair was a human being. Damn, that guy is skinny and white.
I also thought for a minute it was Ser Loras (is that right?) -- Renly's boyfriend. Took me a second to place him.
I got as far as working out he was a Lannister (because he was naked with Cersei) but that was it. In which scenes had we seen him before?
He was the ... squire? who kept giving Robert the wine during the boar hunt.
