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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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