Xander ,'Empty Places'
[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.
It was so disgusting to watch how easily Margery manipulated Joffrey, too. He thinks he's so smart, and so powerful. That's not a woman you want to arm, buddy, and I haven't read past the first book.
I'm also sort of imagining someone cutting all the scenes with Jamie and Brienne into a buddy movie trailer.

Doooo eeeeeet!
But maybe wait at least until after next week.
(I don't know how to do that. But I would love it.)
Cat's story about Jon Snow also killed me. It was so very human.
Maybe I'll give it a shot once that storyline is over. (And I figure out how to download from HBOGO.)
Margery Tyrell + crossbow forever. It would've been great if she'd gotten him to let her hold it while it was loaded and then shot him in the head with it. Oops, I guess I could kill something after all. But really, she's just aces in my book. And I love that she dresses, according to Cersei, like an old school hoochie mama.
The Theon torture scenes were really disturbing. I had to look away.
I couldn't figure out what they were doing, and then I realized I really didn't want to know.
I almost pity Cersei, but I can't quite get there. She raised this kid to be a monster, and now he's out of the cage and she has zero control over him. And his contempt, to boot.
Speaking of Theon, does anybody else think the guy who promised to help free him is actually Ramsey Snow ?
I still can't quite sympathize with Cersei either, but Lena Heady deserves much credit for coming very, very close to making Cersei.... Something.
Sean, I think he has to be, since that pivotal character Theon's being turned into was never introduced, so there's gotta be another way to get to there.
I do and don't sympathize with Cersei. On the one hand, almost everything that happens to her is her own damn fault. On the other hand, she was dealt an incredibly difficult hand, and it's not like the rest of her family are exactly paragons of mental health and handling things well either.
I also saw a lot of ugly sexism in the Cersei-hate that came out after the last book, which gets my hackles up and makes me want to defend her.
