Well the Berric and Thoros kept saying they'd return her to Robb in the Riverlands, but I'm not sure how far away they are from Riverrun, so it's kinda hopeful to expect she's going to be there in one episode

Fucking hated that shot. I have no beef with Lena Headey and like her as Cersei, but the whole "pout, eyebrow raise" shit is overdone and not always relevant. The beauty of that scene was her regular smug look being bitch slapped away by daddy. Her breakdown right before that shot was awesome. But for whatever reason they had to cut in a shot of her doing that look again.

Seemed totally contextually irrelevant and out of place to me given what had just happened. Tyrion sat there looking broken, and so should have she.
 
My post was more a 'I swear to god, Kozak, if you're a book reader..'

If I thought he actually knew what was happening there would have been c-bombs galore.

What did Podrick do to make the girls do it for free ?

I'm assuming it was oral.

We don't know. I bet they'll keep this gag up for a bit longer since a lot of people liked the scenes and banter.

People assumed he was huge, but the scene with varys told us he was just normal. I'd laugh if it's some more fantasy element. That some warlock or sorcerer gave him a pleasure potion or spell or something. Didn't Melisandre do something weird to Stannis as well? Drove him crazy with lust and he took her on his war board.
 
They wont ever say what Podrick did, unless it turns out he bitched out and did nothing (eg: nervous, actually gay, etc). It's a mystery gag. Not knowing is the joke, because the answer seems impossible to comprehend.

We don't know, and that's the joke. We'll never know.





However, there's also a running gag in the series that the men in Westeros don't care about giving oral sex and those guys that DO do it get more praise.

See: Tyrion vs. Theon, Jon Snow vs. Ygritte's previous partners, and Podrick vs. Everyone the hookers ever slept with.

It's still just a joke, though.
 
Random clarification question based on a discussion occurring on another site.

Was Jamie Lannister slaying of the mad king ever viewed as a noble act? This other person is under the impression that Jamie was regarded in awe.

"regarded in awe as the great and mighty Kingslayer, who joined Robert’s rebellion, charged in and did what needed to be done when no one else could. When, in fact, the true story behind it is a little pathetic. He was never part of the rebellion. He didn’t want to kill Aerys. He begged the king to surrender. He only killed him when he had no other choice. Yes, he stopped the king from killing his own people, but Jaime also saved his own ass in the process"

I don't recall this version of events and always thought it was an insult to Jamie by calling him kings slayer which was insinuating that he was someone who turned his back on his King's Guard duties and slayed the king he was sworn to protect.

I actually disagree. I never really got why she had that constipated look in season 1 and 2, had no idea what she was doing. But I think she just wasn't reaching what she was trying to do. This season when she does it, it is giving her a really smug, catty and bitchy look which is what I think was what Headey was aiming for.

When they got that smug shot of her in that room at the end I thought *THAT* is how Cersei is supposed to look

That annoyed me so much. It seems like the only thing she can do is smash her lips together and cock her eyebrow. You could see tyrion looking genuinely upset and then it cuts to cersei, and her acting involved just cocking her eyebrow to the maximum cockness.

Haha, the other person is. I don't think anyone's called Jaime the Kingslayer in a positive way during the entire series.

Which I think is a little bit odd. I'm not expecting anyone to love him for it but even acknowledging the name 'Mad King' would give some credit to the person that killed him.

In a world where the same person can serve 3 different kings with their sword and nobody question whether they might be faithful :)

The Mad King had his reputation but Jaime never told anyone how bad it really was. As he says in the bath, no one knew that Aerys had hidden wildfire all over King's Landing and would rather kill everyone in the city than have Robert take the throne.

Jaime is considered untrustworthy and an oathbreaker because he was a sworn member of the Kingsguard and because he didn't just kill the king he was sworn to protect, he literally stabbed him in the back. Because no one knew the true extent of Aerys' madness this was regarded as an immense betrayal. With Aerys giving the order to light up the city, Jaime was left with very little choice but for various reasons including his own pride, he saw no reason to tell Eddard the truth. It's a little unfair for Jaime but he had his own part in making the name Kingslayer for himself.

But that was nothing new.

"Half the Targaryens went mad didn't they? What's the saying? Every time a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin."
- Cersei

Season 2, episode 7.

And in the episode where Joffrey was with Margaery in the Sept of Baelor, he said that one of them drank wildfire, believing it would turn him into a dragon.
 
Basically, they knew Aerys Targaryen was messed up to some degree, but people weren't quite aware of the truly dire depths the Mad King was about to sink into. They've never had the proper context with which to judge Jaime; he never told anyone the truth of it since he is a stubborn man.
 
Joffrey really needs to be more hateable this season. He's barely done anything except get wooed by Margaery. He is certainly the least likeable character in the show, and while people complained last season that his cruelty was constantly harked upon without any development, I really liked how he made you cringe every second he was on the screen.

Her look didn't seem that off. Looked like the "oh you think so" look that she often gives.

Yes I've been waiting for Dickhead-Joffrey to return.

He's been far too likeable this season. I want him to finally snap with Margaery and reveal himself for what he truly is.
 
It's highly pejorative in Westeros, of course, but "Kingslayer" has quite the badass ring to it.

It's certainly sexier than Rothfuss' far less poetic "Kingkiller." :p
 
Argh... it just hit me that the Tyrells are the good guys..

I feel so slow. Should have come to the conclusion as soon as Varys went to Lady Grandma.

They want peace in the realm..

Which is why Margaery is manipulating Joffrey so he can be a good king to his people and not an insufferable prick.

Well to be fair, everyone wants peace in the realm, they just all want it to be peace under the rule of their family.

What? He hasn't done anything notable in regards to nastiness.

And by likeable I mean he's too pleasant when he's around Margaery, which has been pretty much every scene with him this season.

Yeah, he hasn't mutilated anyone for pleasure yet, he's only just talked and fantasized about it. :P

Haha, I always thought "Kingkiller" sounded awful and silly (I still want to read it after all the praise it got, though). Kingslayer might be more cliché, but damn if it doesn't sound a million times cooler.

Well he did make some misogynist comments to his mom, referencing the role of women. But that's pretty tame for him compared to having Sansa beaten. Luckily Sansa is wearing her invisibility cloak.

I'm just waiting for a more brutal version of the scene last season where he made Ros beat that prostitute.

He's been very tame this season. I know we're meant to believe that Margaery is calming him down, but he's got to snap at some point.
 
I feel that Margery is bringing him out of his shell, he's gone form a sulky, sullen psychopath to a jaunty, chatty psychopath. I don't get the impression he's become any less nasty, for me the crossbow scene was as chilling as anything in season 2, just without the explicit violence.

He hasn't done anything like the scene with the prostitutes last season but he's still just as creepy to me in most scenes. The way he's enjoying the grim details of the Targaryans (sp?) and the scene with Margaery and the crossbow show he's just as sadistic as always.
