The part where there was never any plan to marry the Princess off? Getting the Queen emotionally distraught and then going, "Surprise! It was all a trick!" strikes me as a non-optimal strategy. Maybe there'll be fallout next episode.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.
I'm not sure Tyrion doesn't intend to barter Myrcella, actually. Cersei's freakout seems a little like a non-issue, too -- she doesn't like or trust anything Tyrion does, so it doesn't really matter what he tells her. Or, you know, has other people tell her.

Art Crawl!!!
Right.
Bartering Myrcella is actually something that is likely to happen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, it sounded serious to me. I thought the bartering was the main truth. The "lies" where to whom she was bartered.

Game of Thrones: A couple scenes were way too disturbing for me tonight. The torture seems really graphic.

That was a brutal episode. And the shadow child thing was super creepy.

I don't have Starz, tiggy, but I wish I could see it. He looks gorgeous in that role, and the set porn alone looks awesome.

Is that what Melisandre gave birth to?
