Between Catelyn and Tywin, who do you think earns that honor more?

Well Tywin was the one who actually told his bannermen to go out and start killing people, so he wins that round. Cat should have known better than to kidnap Tyrion, but she wasn't really aware of the bigger picture (which was also naive of her).

That seems to be a recurring theme for Martin in this story. To the point of it becoming almost anvilicious. Pretty much all characters in this story wind up making decisions based on a sense of compulsion or lack of options, when often times if they'd just taken one step back they would have seen that they could do just about anything else and get a better result. Often times characters are even presented with better options, only to dismiss them for reasons.

Varys in particular is continually offering people eminently sensible ways out of their problems, only to have his advice dismissed because everyone knows you can't trust Varys.

The butt quiz is hilarious :) When did we see Talisa in the nude? I totally don't remember that.

Not entirely sure if this should go here or in Movies (here, I suspect), but I am currently watching The Sunset Limited on HBOGO, and HOLY EFFIN' CRAP! I have only read The Road but between that, and this, I am turning into a HUGE Cormack McCarthy fan. The dude can write.

I think I might have to try Blood Meridian next.

This post is just a reminder to myself to be much more careful about discussing GoT tonight.

There's got to be some sort of way to automate and schedule text messages, right? Can we set up IFTTT to text you starting fifteen minutes in to the east coast airing?

Ooh, that's brilliant! We could have it text me WHITE FONT STUFF! or NO SPOILERZ!

At last a use for Google Glasses!

And yet another song makes it into the show! J'adore.
