Oh, Sansa.
You stupid, stupid girl.
Here I was hoping Sansa would skip out of King’s Landing with The Hound, flipping a bird to Joffrey and Cersei on her way out. But, no. She pulled a Ned Stark and stayed. And now she’s stuck with the Lannisters while Joffrey weds Margaery Tyrell.
Speaking of….what the hell is Margaery wearing?
Leave it to Tywin Lannister to take a giant $h!t on the Red Keep before accepting the title of Savior of the City and Hand of the King.
Everything Tywin does in this scene screams his superiority over everyone in the room, including the king. Someone once told Ned Stark, “The King $h!ts and the Hand wipes.” It looks very much like Tywin Lannister will be turning that idiom inside out.
Side note: does anyone else feel like being awarded Harrenhal is like being awarded a promotion by Darth Vader?
Game of Thrones has gone to some trouble to show all the horrors of war this season. From the Tickler and his rats at Harrenhal, to injuries on the battlefield, to those poor tavern girls who were raped and murdered by Robb Stark’s men. Kinda makes me hate everyone except Brienne.
She may not be perfect, but she doesn’t strike me as the type to kill people for bull$h!t reasons.
Daenerys made another leap forward in becoming a force to be reckoned with after spending most of the season spinning her wheels and yelling at people. She gave the warlocks of Qarth a big, firey finger via her dragon babies.
I’m curious to see how Arya is going to handle arriving home to Winterfell only to find it abandoned and burned. All of House Greyjoy is going to wind up on Arya’s kill list.
But, all that is going to have to get set aside because there are bigger, scarier things coming to wreak havoc on Westeros, like this:
And this:
And this:















Oh, MAN! I want you to read the books so we can email back and forth about things to come!
I LOVE your point about taking a sh*& in the throne room – excellent observation, and something I missed.
I’m already ready for next season, and I just watched the finale last night!!!
Now that the season is over, I’m going to finish reading Clash of Kings. I’d only gotten a couple chapters in when season 2 started and I put off finishing it till the end of the season.
hmmm…I am going to have to re-read the books…I don’t remember Robb’s men raping anyone…
Admittedly, I’m making assumptions. I haven’t read Clash of Kings, but I assumed that those three tavern girls they hung were also raped just because of war and stuff.
i dont remember raping either; however, i believe the show deviates from the path the book laid down in a super positive way
I think Stannis was the only one who actively punished rapists. I believe it was mentioned that Robb’s men were guilty of rape and other war crimes.
I don’t think the women who were hanged were raped by Robb’s men, but Roose Bolton put out some women that I think had been married to, or maybe had just had sex with, some Lannister men to be raped by his camp. Most likely some of Robb’s men participated. In any case, hanging women for being ZOMG SLUTS is a pretty evil move, though I doubt Robb approved or even knew about it.
I completely agree that Robb wouldn’t approve of rape and murdering women for sleeping with Lannisters. But I don’t remember him castrating rapists or taking any measures against it like Stannis did.
I think Sansa was smart not to leave with the Hound. She doesn’t have the skill set to survive like Arya would, and she does have the skill set to survive in court. She chose to be in the place where she has the greatest chance of surviving. Besides that, the Hound’s relationship with her is really creepy, and I wouldn’t have ridden off with him.
