By "under control" I mean that he wasn't actively tormenting and abusing her. His nose was open. He was still going to act out. But we only saw him aim at her once and she abated it like world class pro.

Is that anything like "Great rangers don't live to get old, shit ones don't either. It's them in the middle that last"?

Cersei was already the most powerful woman in Westeros, but she effed it up. No way does she become the most powerful person in Westeros, or perhaps I should say, no way does she remain the most powerful person in Westeros for any extended period of time. There will be a short period of time after Cersei breaks up…

I'm with Tops_Blooby on this one, they're fucked.

Wait a minute,….YOU…think….Margaery…..is a virgin???????

The Boltons are screwed. They made the worst deal ever, and it's going to cost them.

I've seen several of your posts. I think you are overly enamored with Cersei. You defend her from a girl-power/sexism angle. Cersei doesn't deserve your defense. Tywin had it correctly; she isn't as smart as she thinks she is.

If Margery becomes Queen she can indiscriminately have Cersei sent back to Casterly Rock, and work it out with Tommen later.

I was with you up until you said that Cersei had the means to control Margery. Margery is a hundred times smarter then Cersei. There is no way in hell Cersei can control Margery.

I don't mean to pick on you, although you deserve no quarter for cursing out you mother. But everybody responded to my response about you and it became more about the concept than you personally. It's less about you and more about everybody else. You are coming at it admitting you were wrong. Everybody else is…

Not, if you were my child, you wouldn't.

Did she smack the shit out you? If I had been your mom I would have. However, since I am male, I would have been your daddy and I would done much worse. I would just be coming up for parole right about now.

And some would wrong. This isn't about sexism, this is about dealing with reality. Shae couldn't deal with so Tyrion had to deal with it for her. Pod didn't want to deal with the reality either, but Tyrion made his choice for him. Was that sexist?

If Tyrion had wanted to end it because he didn't want to be with her anymore then of course her agency doesn't trump his. But he was ending it because he wanted to be all paternal and "I know what's best for you, even if you don't" and I just don't see that as fair. An adult person should get to make his or her own…

You also don't get to stay in a relationship if you're dead. Which is what was coming to Shae in the very near future if she stayed.

No way, she was caught. She was already going out of his life because she was going to be killed, by hanging, because that's Tywin promised. There was no more risk involved in it, her death was imminent unless she got out of town.

No she doesn't deserve to be angry with him at all. He sent her away to save her life, and arranged for her to be wealthy where she was going. Lo and behold, as soon as he has her leave people start dying, and he's on trial for murder. His timing could not have been better. If she had half a brain she wouldn't be…

She left before Joffrey died. If she offered her testimony before she left the city then she would be in on he crime. Moreover, Bronn put her on the ship and watched it leave.

Indeed there was not poor communication. Shae simply wasn't afraid.

She could have left and come back.
