Even just off this quote, I think "rape" is a fair characterization of coming home drunk and forcing your wife who can "scarcely bear for [you] to touch [her]"

the High Sparrow has every motivation to feel confident standing up to him.
Most Khals are still in their early or mid-twenties. Drogo was an exception because he was badass enough to age into some common sense.
Points to Davos for asking for mutton - Thorne's face was priceless
I want a spin off of Brienne and Pod having adventures around the world.
Yeah I'm still confused as fuck about where Trystane was. I thought he went to Westeros with Myrcella?!
I just think she was "taking her face off" for the evening in a regular ritual, worn out from maintaining a powerful illusion every day.
This morning I find myself working backward to figure out at what point I stopped viewing GoT as unmissable TV full of terrific writing, careful plotting, top-notch acting (mostly), and genuine character drama, and started viewing it as a very well-done guilty pleasure instead.
Well done, sir.
Theon confessed they weren't her brothers, but only farm boys.
"In public"? That was the worst part of having his daughter burnt alive?
it seems absurd to me that he'd get tactically outplayed from where we left off after the last TWoW excerpt released. Outnumbered and in the cold is basically his home turf and exactly the situation where he'd win.
he pretty clearly raped his wife from time to time
His repeated Cercei raping says otherwise.
Stannis says to Brienne is "Do your Duty." Her duty was the Stark girls, and she probably struck the tree he was leaning against in frustration before riding off to save sansa.
What I'm most looking forward to in TWoW is finding out exactly what happens with his story. I think he'll beat the Boltons on the field but…
I emphatically call bullshit on that waif sticking a blade in Mr. "Married to his Axe."
Did anyone else have this reaction to watching the preview at the end of the episode, for next week? Jonathan Pryce is talking to Jaime, and asks him if he would spill blood in this sacred place. (He may have said "dare": like, you would dare spill blood in this sacred place?)
The problem in Dorne does indeed lie within their adaptation choices.
