LANNISTERS! MUST! DIE!

Completely agreed. Except for Tyrion. He is awesome.

And Joffrey really is as stupid as he looks. If he didn't have a war on his hands before, he definitely gets one now.

[General Battuta]

Sorry bros, Tywin is scary, Jaime is handsome, Joffrey has good fashion sense and Cersei said THIS IS MADNESS, which makes the Lannisters the best family.

also there is Tyrion

[newman]

Tywin's subordinate: "Sir, we've analyzed the Stark boy's tactics and there is a chance he might succeed. We've prepared a horse for you."
Tywin: "Evacuate? At our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!"

Can't help it. The man reminds me of Tarkin somethin' fierce

[General Battuta]

Well he did win the battle...his battle.

He just didn't figure on Robb being cold-blooded enough to leave two thousand men to die as a distraction.

[newman]

Might want to spoilertag that for the folks who haven't seen the last ep yet.

[General Battuta]

They probably shouldn't be in the thread

Did he leave them to die? Wasn't it more of a diversion...

Assuming his future wife doesn't kill him herself. Really dumb move to make if he still plans on marrying her.

[The E]

So, Joffrey still has to die, Daenerys is holy****wtf scary all of a sudden, Tywin may need to die, but is way to scary to do so (Seriously, that guy brings coldbloodedness to a whole new level), and Tyrion is off to the Lion's den, as it were.

God I love this show.

And she's already given serious thought to pushing him to his death already.

[General Battuta]

Welp it's gonna be a long wait for the next season.

Who knew a naked woman could be so intimidating?

[Ransom]

yo pycelle gimme some squats

[The E]

Yeah, that's how you keep fit in court

[karajorma]

That and (possibly) banging young hookers.

I do love the way the guy is making himself out to be much more infirm than he actually is for some unknown reason.

[General Battuta]

So the other court spymasters won't see him as a threat. He clearly knows Roz is gonna report back to Littlefinger, possibly while having lesbian sex.

I've started reading the book, it's not very well written but I assume the story and characters are gonna carry it.

[Ransom]

Oh, I don't know. I remember the early chapters of A Game of Thrones being a bit painful, but mostly I find Martin's writing capable enough to be satisfying. It's got an odd sing-song sort of quality that's nice when he doesn't overdo it.

Which he seems to do at least once per chapter, but what can you do.

[Pred the Penguin]

I think it goes on throughout the series, too. But it's not so bad that I just stop. For me at least the story really helps it along.

[StarSlayer]

What did the five fingers say to the face?

I've been reading Cat Valente a lot, and before that someone else with exquisite poetic prose, so I have turned into a huge prose whore and sniff at every imperfect sentence. This is probably why.

Who was that "someone else" before Cat Valente? I'm always on the hunt for authors who love their sentences.
