Man, I knew what was coming for Theon, and I just cringed. All. the. way. up. to. the. castle.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Also totally seeing show Joffrey as dead on to book Joffrey. So loathesome and disgusting that he his horrificness rises above even all the other loathesome and disgusting character.
I appreciate Tyrion because, unlike so many other character in these books, he seems to have learned from past experiences. He's embittered by life but still keeps going. Sure he's still utterly self-centered, which is why he didn't die right off the bat, but he does have a brilliant sense of (snide)humor. Cersei, OTOH, has zero sense of humor. Interesting that show show is making her far more sympathetic than the books. Heh, and when the became a POV character? Even more loathesome in her inspid, futile hatefulness.
I don't really grok how anyone could dislike Dany. She and Tyrion and Jon seem like the backbones of the storyline to me, at least so far, and she has DRAGONS which makes her instantly more appealing than any other human character. I mean, DRAGONS!!!

Also, apparently Kit Harrington is some kind of sex icon now? That i do not get at all. I find Jon to be the most boring principle character. I was tempted to skim through all his chapters, but then quickly realized that things happening at the Wall are rather important and not to be overlooked.

Whoa, whoa Melisandre!!!! From the books i always figured she was tapping Stannis' psychic energy not his...body. Whoa.

'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"
Heh, that just makes it more... explicit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My immediate response to the map-table sex was OW, POINTY MOUNTAINS IN NEW PLACES! But I guess since she's magic, she doesn't feel pain?

Still less painful than accommodating a man in full armor, or on railroad tracks....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's a relief map? I didn't notice that. The Lord of Light can cushion her as well as deactivate poison, I suppose.
Nice symbolism, in any case.

Because books.
But I guess since she's magic, she doesn't feel pain?
I don't know, she didn't look too comfortable to me.
The last line of Cersei's? Jesus, she's a bitch.

Renly was even more foolish than I supposed in declaring himself king rather than allying with Stannis considering he's Stannis's heir. I never quite put that together until now.
