Where is the rest of the Baratheon family?

If Robert became king of the goddamn world he probably was from a prominent family. All the Baratheons I can remember seeing are Jamie & Cersei's kids, who aren't actually part of his family. Isn't there some huge Baratheon army somewhere?




PS - That King in the North scene/chant was lame. Lame as in the same exact thing already happened and it was better the first time.

Burt is right: they were a small house, and they were fucking gutted during the course of the series/books. If you look at the family tree on this page, only three people with Baratheon blood are still alive and they're all bastards: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ormund_Baratheon

Okay, guys, am I overthinking this? Am I the only one who saw clear signs that Sansa is now going to take up Littlefinger on his offer and turn on her Jon?

I don't think it's impossible, but I do think her inner turmoil is less vindictive. I get the sense that she's growing by leaps and bounds each day; that the realities of her situation are becoming more clear (don't forget that she was running from Ramsey very recently), and that Littlefinger's proposal is merely one option she is weighing

Let's just call it my first bold prediction: Sansa's going dark side, y'all.

I don't think so. I think she eventually ends up with Littlefinger out of perceived necessity, and then Arya ends up killing him.

I laughed really fucking hard when the king launched himself out of the window.

Really? That terrified me. It was the first truly shocking moment in the show for me as a book reader.

No one's cut the Tommen death scene with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music playing after he disappears, and this disappoints me.

[BurtReynolds]

I wonder if Tommen got a "fuck you, mom" tattoo before he died.

Nevermind. I would've put the musical cue in a different place, but this still works:

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I actually think it works well there.

You start the theme riiiiiiight after he disappears from the frame, then let it linger on the skyline until the first drop bit.

Same. His arc is truly heartbreaking.

I broke down when Tommen did that. Too close to home but his naivety and innocence and need to please going sour to malignant in just a few moments was hard to watch.
His mom is worse than his wife but both were out to overthrow him or at least control him to their own end. Took his last option. Hard to watch.


That said I loved Cersi's revenge. I loved it. Especially via Gleggan. That cow deserved that.

Gregor Lazarus Clegane? "Glegan"?

[dimejinky99]

The big fucker that went in and raped the evil nun bitch. She totally had it coming.

[Norah]

Guys, Cersei is at least as evil as her enemies. Probably much more evil.

[Strat]

[Mecca]
