Woe to the fucking wicked.

Whatever awfulness comes Petyr's way will be no more than he deserves.

Marg clearly was in no ways involved. Olenna likely was. Tywin...might have been.

Oh, look, Tywin cares about history. I wonder where Tyrion got that from. Ahem.

I am side-eyeing the writers REALLY hard at the re-imaginging the Sept Sex.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Erin, Robert had nothing to do with her, genetically. People only think he does.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Ooooh k, thought there might be something more nefarious that I had entirely missed other than alternate fathering which is hardly a spoiler at this point.

Because books.

She's the most passive pawn in this game and seem lacking in any ability to help herself.

I don't think this is true. She's not actively making any moves, but she's learned a hell of a lot about how to protect herself, and how to listen and observe. If (when?) Sansa has some numbers behind her, I think she could be pretty formidable.

My dream is a triumverate of Arya, Sansa, and Dany, with Brienne as the head of the guard, not that I expect that to happen.

I thought it was pretty clear who killed Joffrey after tonight's episode, too.

And I don't know what happened in the book, but Jaime and Cersei beside Joffrey's dead body was pretty foul. I couldn't understand her at the end -- was she saying she wasn't ready, and he was saying he didn't care?

I did have to give some points for objecting to killing his brother, though.

Well, all men must die, after all.

Jaime and Cersei beside Joffrey's dead body was pretty foul.

That is NOT how that went down in the book. AT ALL. If you can't tell, I have Issues with it.

She was saying "It's not right" And yes, he was saying "I don't care."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Peter Dinklage: Such a bad accent. So fucking awesome.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The ominous "They"

Tyrion working through the same stuff as the audience. Good times.

I want Pod to survive the series.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And, having read an interview with the actor, I'm not sure I'm gonna get over it in the near future.

So, for non-readers who want to know why we're 7 kinds of pissed off about the Jaime and Cersei scene in the Sept:

In the books, Jaime and Brienne get back to KL AFTER Joff dies. So, the first time Cersei sees him again in in the sept. They have fucked up, but basically consensual, sex. She's all kinds of distraught (and, to be fair, mad props to Lena on her acting in this episode) and doesn't have the months of habitual shuddering away from his residual limb. After that, their relationship falls apart, as has already happened on the show, and she won't touch him again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Pod is the best.

The ominous "They"

A standout line, for sure.

Which actor, Debet?
