Pity Cersei? Hah. I didn't feel any sympathy for Cersei. She had all that coming and worse. All they did was cut her hair and make her walk naked through an angry crowd. She put Sansa through worse torment and was responsible for everything Joffrey did, along with murdering King Robert and trying to murder Bran and…

He was only tired.
The horsemen are Dothraki, the ones that left Khal Drogo when he died of infection.

Obviously Sansa and Theon are escaping, not dying. Sansa has had many times to kill herself. Also, we can't really be sure whether Stannis is dead, simply because they cut away before Briene swung her sword. So Sansa and Theon can be removed from the list of casualties and Stannis should have an "assumed" after him.

Bogus. None of the guards ever hit anyone. There wasn't any escalation to violence. The guards that were abusive were mainly egged on by Zimbardo in order to get the results he wanted. So they and the prisoners acted the parts Zimbardo encouraged them to, just like how participants in MTV's Real World engage in drama…

The fact that you think rape is cheap drama says more about your own issues.
Most people would see how GoT depicts violence against women as a criticism of a society where it is prevalent, such as our own during the medieval age, or even not so long ago.

It's not mean spirited or dickish. You consider it dickish to imply that gay people are effeminate, but many people wouldn't they'd simply think it's funny, a harmless stereotype that accurately describes some gay people, but which nobody takes seriously because it doesn't describe all or even most gay men.
It's also…

His brother wasn't trying to kill him, Renly wanted to negotiate with Stannis. Stannis wasn't having any of it.

Roose Bolton is better than Stannis. He isn't a Fire god fundamentalist. Ramsey just needs to die.

Yeah, Sons of The Harpy fight for the elites of Mereen.
They're kind of analogous to the Baathists who were banned from the elected Iraqi government by Paul Bremmer and so they formed the sunni insurgency in the early part of the Iraq War.

Ramsey is worse than anyone, even Joffrey.
However by burning his daughter I'd say that Stannis is a worse person and less likable character than Roose Bolton.
Roose Bolton has that charmingly amoral and intelligently pragmatic smartness that Tywin had.

The food didn't matter, New Phil only gave him 2 bottles of water, looked like about 2 or 3 liters worth. Walking in the arid desert, that's not going to last long on a 35 mile hike, assuming Phil Tandy was at the midpoint between the two cities. He's not ex-military New Phil, so he'd take a lot more breaks. We saw…

He is sympathetic because all his terrible plans fail. Also, they are rooted in selfishness, and we can all relate to being selfish, and envy a character who consistently acts on his selfish urges without concern for social obligations.

Helluva way to get a bikini wax.

Biracial Australian.

Melissa's defining quality is that she isn't able to trust anyone. That's why she regularly calls out Tandy as a liar. But also she wasn't able to tell Todd she loved him, she said she had been cheated on a lot and needed a long time with a guy before she began to place faith in him. I imagine that's because as an…

She threw that rule out the window to be with New Phil.
There's a little bit of Tandy in all these women, except Melissa who doesn't seem to care. If Todd wasn't so sensitive and thought more strategically, it's great for him that New Phil has finally selected Carol, that he's finally selected anyone who isn't…

I just caught Todd's hilarious under-his-breath jab at New Guy as he walks out of the Presidential meeting: "Jeans tight enough?"
Both of the best jokes this week involve pants.

What would be terrible comedy writing would be if Phill ever got what he wants. Or was able to enjoy it if he did.

She liked it better that way, and the painting is in her house, so from her warped perspective she definitely improved it.

People who are that rigid always make exceptions rationalizing the contradictions.
