It's a paradox. "Ruling" in the Elizabethan sense precludes "ruling" in the Beavisian sense, and vice versa.

As others have said, the idea that this is some form of comeuppance is just ridiculous. Tyrion has been treated like shit his whole life, and the one person he ever thought genuinely loved him has just stabbed him in the back. Total injustice, no other (reasonable) way to look at it.

Jaime to Tyrion: Whatcha gonna do, brother??

He didn't dump her! He Harry-and-the-Hendersoned her (also known as the Nymeria Technique). As a rational human being, she should have listened to reason before it came to that.

Best take it up with the CEO of Tits. I'm sure he gets a lot of mail, though.

Seriously. Shae testifying against Tyrion is as if Nymeria came back to bite Arya in the first season. Not being a direwolf, Shae is supposed to have some actual fucking sense of the situation.

I've played two times. The first time, we spent the first hour learning all the rules. The second time, we spent the first hour re-learning all the rules.

Most rousing trial speech since Scent of a Woman. If only he'd thrown in a "HOO AH!" at the end.

One of the funniest lines in the series. Masterful delivery by the old fuckface.

"Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores."

HBO is submitting it as a drama because HBO rolls balls deep.

Ned "The Headman" Starks

BAH GAWD KING! He just hit him in the back with an iron throne!

You'd think he'd be happy about Michael Sam.

I can't think of him without hearing The Hound scoff "Meryn Fucking Trant???"

Eh, it's not like those are the two most important characters in the story or anything.

He may be a heel in King's Landing, but I was chanting "YES! YES! YES! YES!"

I laughed my ass off at that Pycelle line. Brilliant delivery.

It's the third Mountain. This guy's actually a World's Strongest Man contestant.

Is Tyrion gonna have to choke a bitch?
