I was relieved that Glenn Howeton survived (for this episode at least) too.

I'm not a hater because I disliked the finale.

Good username/post content synergy going on here.

They did quite a bit of coverage on Australia last year between Oliver's trip there to examine gun control and the coverage of the Federal election, both of which Stewart and Oliver criticised the general US media for ignoring.

"Cersei does want the sex. She objects to the LOCATION, not the act itself."

Excellent, excellent point.

Yes, Jaime does indeed rape her in the books. No, Cersei never says "more, more" in the scene. Here's the scene;
