Indeed, the arguments got so scorching that author George R.R.
Butterfly effects and such.
Could it be that Cerseis ugly cruelty has been exacerbated by his violation of her?
It throws a wrench into the literally titular chivalry of tonights newest, finest hour for the Kingslayer.
Jaime even only corrects Tyrion the first time when he implies that he is Joffreys father.
Would you really ask if Id kill my brother?
Plus, it makes a wonderful contrast to when Jaime confronts his sister.
Sadly, Cersei being a woman of power has chosen to aim that rage anywhere and everywhere around her.
It is Jaimes fault for not protecting Joff or murdering Tyrion in his cell.
And she blames Sansa, because…well, she never really did like Sansa, did she?
And she did flee awfully quickly.
Jaime rather shockingly gives up his family heirloom that is not even a week old.
Except she will not find her for the Queen or her late, great Lady Catelyn.
Shell do it for Jaime, who wants to make the Stark girl safe.
And this gives Lord Petyr Baleish enough to begin his education of Sansa Stark into therealgame of thrones.
As Tyrion wisely pointed out, she is too innocent to kill someone…for now.
And what better place to start than the murder of Joffrey Baratheon?
Why would Littlefinger wish to kill the king of a family that has made him Lord of Harrenhaal?
He gives a swift dodge to an answer that will become apparent in the next week or two.
What is it that he wants?
But what of his accomplice?
She revealed as much to a surprisingly unaware Margaery Tyrell.
And she did it for the best motive of all: Joffrey is unpredictable.
But Harrenhaal is a haunted ruin, and his eyes are on a prize of greater worth.
However, it was not all courtly intrigue this week.
Daenerys Targaryen doesnt have time for anyones court, lest she is smashing it.
But the bleakest came when Mhysa entered the gates.
One hundred and sixty-three, he helpfully replies.
Yes, then that too will be the number of slave masters shell give a martyrs death.
Did I mentionSpartacus, yet?
Selmy urges Daenerys to reconsider this approach, because mercy is sometimes its own form of justice.
I will answer in justice with justice.
In her defense,shes a Targaryen!
Her House words are Fire and Blood, not Hugs and Kisses.
Meereen is now a subjugated city under Danys rule.
And her first act is to murder 163 of its likely most powerful oligarchs?
You dont have to be an avidHouse of Cardsviewer to know that there will be consequences.
They would tell of every weakness in Castle Black and of its limited defense.
Ergo, Jon Snow is going to ride out and slay these monsters.
Ergo, it would appear that Jon Snow is on a narrative collision course with his younger half-brother.
It bothers me none at all that this is not in the bookA Storm of Swords.
Bran Starks story is probably the most pure high-fantasy subplot in all of A Song of Ice and Fire.
Daenerys may have the dragons, but Bran is practically from Dungeons and Dragons.
They may be ice zombies, but they are not nearly as stupid as thoseothertelevision walkers.
No, these monstrosities seem to have a different way to reproduce.
If you should die north of the wall in perpetual winter, you will rise again as a Wight.
Now, we may know how it happens.
They take our young and give them a new definition of frostbite.
It is all wonderfullyhorrifying.
Plus, 163 douchebags got crucified!
The latter of which should provide ample after-party entertainment when Cersei and Margaery cross verbal blades again.
But most of all, how far will this Stark reunion go when Jon Snow reaches Crasters Keep?
I admit that much like the bastard of Winterfell, in this situation, I know nothing.
