He wouldn't be the first grandfather to think he could do it right the next time.

Or is that just my father?

I know I can't actually defend Cersei, but I don't dislike her. I mean, she is a terrible, terrible person, but I don't see how anyone raised in her position could have turned out otherwise, and I really do believe she's doing the best she can.

Totally legit. We can't always help which characters we like. There are relatively few properly defensible characters, and nearly everyone is a product of their environment, quite explicitly.

It's incredibly hypocritical of Tywin to want to separate Tommen from her because of Joffrey - if Joffrey is Cersei's fault, then Cersei is Tywin's. Look at the three children he raised to adulthood and tell me Tommen is better off with him.

Tywin is the smartest idiot in Westeros, especially when it comes to his own family. He has one child with the drive to grow up to be him, and one with the brains to do it, and he could give a fuck about either of them.

Love this.

I don't know -- neither Cersei, Jaime, or Tyrion are completely insane or relentlessly sadistic.

I don't know that Tommen will be better off with Tywin, either, but I do think Tywin means Cersei to feel that she's being punished.

I guess winter really is coming.

In other news, Brienne breaks every piece of my heart.

Mah giiiiirl. Gods, that was lovely.

Props to the show people for the Cersei-Jaime scene. That was the follow-up I was hoping for.

The Margaery/Tommen scene! That was a great addition/spin.

Locke made me say, "Oh, shit. Oh, shitshitshit," a lot.

During the Jaime-Tyrion scene, when Jaime made the comment about breaking him out, I said," Ummm, spoilers? "

NEW INFORMATION! THINGS WHAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN! (Everything north of The Wall)

Margaery! YES. She really is as good as her grandmother thinks she is. Also, I KNEW Olenna had something to do with Joffrey's death!

Sunday is such a bittersweet day, because it's all, "Game of Thones!" and then, "But that means we're one episode closer to the end of the season."

Also, I KNEW Olenna had something to do with Joffrey's death!

If you go back and watch the wedding, you can see the whole thing play out.

Margaery! YES. She really is as good as her grandmother thinks she is.

I think it's interesting that she was so horrified that her grandmother would do that.

I still wonder if Tywin was in on it.

They really didn't waste any time clarifying who killed Joffrey and how, did they? I approve.

I had to look up who Locke is. And now that I've done that...oh crap.

Dire wolves should not be in cages. That has got to end soon.

Burn Gorman just plays a magnificent asshole, doesn't he.
