See Monty Python: "If I went 'round sayin' I was emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"

Is he a ham?

What? Lock you up? Cutting chunks out of your hair and throwing cats is when you get really interesting!

Finn. Finn Tutuola. Because he's . . . Irish?

Eh, fair enough. You just seemed really upset, but if this scene was THE ONE you've been waiting to see brought to life, I get it. I just get tired of so much of the "expert" reviews devolving into complaints or even just notations of how the show differs from the books. And if memory serves you were upset about more…

I'm a crazy cat lady too! Should we bond or something?

I think you're right, but I also think viewing Tywin bring Shae in for the extra pain is also a pretty good explanation for why Tywin would also fuck her. He hates Tyrion. It gives him pleasure to degrade the thing Tyrion cared about. Ascetic or not (and I don't think he is, not like Roose Bolton), Tywn Lannister…

I still have sympathy for Shae. Tywin got to her right when Tyrion drove her off. She's hurt, and angry, and oh yeah probably being threatened by the most powerful man in Westeros if she doesn't testify. So she does. What the fuck else is she going to do? Die nobly for the lover who threw her away? Later, Tywin…

Cats can be trained. I trained mine to stop clawing the furniture after I've told them to quit it nine times and they're done anyway.

She didn't rescue shit. That's a purebred.

I think Detective Munch would be an awesome cat name. Or dog name. Or goat name. It's so versatile!

Oh please, I think that's a Scottish Fold (based on the ears). That's no yeoman's kitten. It's pretty fucking cute, though.

Hey, that's when I came in too. People were really way too mean to that guy. I stuck around anyway, so I don't know what that says about me.

Wait, is TVDW actually leaving?

Well they all got adopted in the end, so it really was the best thing for them . . . but now I only foster for rescue organizations in which the animals go straight from foster home to their new "forever home." It's definitely less traumatizing for all involved.

Nah, Tywin's not moral; he's just pragmatic. He has needs and such. He loved his wife; his wife died. Since then, he's fucked whores. A means to an end. No emotion involved. His son Tyrion's sin (in this area) is not fucking whores; it's caring about them.

Gendry is shockingly attractive, and he made Arya happy. I give way more of a shit about Gendry than say, Loras Tyrell or Jojen Reed. :)

I don't know, the dragons got me right in the feels last night. I used to foster kittens for a (no kill) shelter until they were old enough to go up for adoption, so I'd keep them lovingly in my home until they were two pounds and then stick them in a cage (for their own good damnit), and the outraged mewing and…

I kind of see it as Tyrion going up for closure — not necessarily to kill his dad, but just because he was probably never going to see him again — and then finding Shae in his bed (bad enough his dad is, well, Tywin Lannister, but to find out he's also a hypocrite and a petty asshole who gets off on fucking his son's…

I really think you need to just stick to the books if you're so incapable of handling the show being its own entity making its own adaptation choices, rather than adhering to the vision you have in your head (which appears to be a shot-for-shot remake of the books). Like, seriously, I'm worried about the vehemence of…
