To be fair, she was kinda being a bitch, though.

I don't even know what I'm arguing about anymore!

If we're going to play the game where we treat fictional characters like real people, then I will argue that if some guy was trying to get rid of me I would have the dignity and respect for myself to leave him.

" My only point was that he was cruel and humiliated her first. He acted as if she had never been anything to him and said she wasn't good enough for him. Outright."

It doesn't make her worse, it makes the betrayal worse. We felt a pang about Varys because they had a little bro-thing going on, but Shae was the woman he loved. It was unexpected. It hurts more because of this. It's more dramatic because of this. People are more passionate about it because of this.
Nobody cares what…

I'm assuming this is meant to be a jape.

Let me explain this is terms A.V. Club can understand:
Shae is the Britta of Westeros.

I wish I could downvote you for using the word "problematic".

This got Britta'd like two years ago.

Also yes.

I shed a tear.

The petition for this is already in front of The President, I assume.

The amount of time I spend forgetting the parts are all played by one actress is astounding.
I had one of those weird moments where my brain readjusted to remember Helena is played by the same actress and I got slightly dizzy. Maslany is giving me some serious existential crises!

I don't think they ever have. As far as I remember, no.

Totally worth it.

More than anything, I think it was because they had to cut down the exposition. I suppose they could have had Lysa blurt it out with all the other stuff.
Introducing her as "my bastard" would have been weird and nobody says "true-born" on the show.
Ultimately, nobody cares about Littlefinger's family because they're…

I'll never understand this. I see it a lot. I find Emilia Clarke to be perfect as Dany. And I wouldn't trade Natalie Dormer as Margarey for the world! She was born for that part.

Do they want ants at the Vale? Because that's how you get ants.

I think they keep people "mysterious" by not showing them naked.

Bitches love ships.
