I will be very sad if Lord Castleroy is evil. I mean, this guy was introduced as an eccentric oddball obsessed with pepper!

Megan Follows is definitely a gift, but I was also majorly impressed by Adelaide Kane during Mary and Francis' fight after he betrayed her. She conveyed a great deal of vulnerability, pragmatism, and regality. I felt like that scene was very well-written as well, so that probably helped.

More psychopathic, that one.

Hm. Well, I believe the sullenness is innately a part of who he is, regardless of pre or post-Island. And I don't see why you can't be petulant and sullen. Reading "A Game of Thrones", those were always the two words that popped into my head to describe Bran.

Nah, Ollie's prone to sullenness. Pre-island, it was just of a much more petulant variety.

Think on this: Agents of O.B.V.I.O.U.S. got a "B-" this week, whereas this much better episode got a "B". Talk about grading on a curve.

One more thing: Moira's death was as heart-rending and shocking as almost any on Game of Thrones. Very well done.

I really, really enjoyed this episode, perhaps for some of the reasons you didn't like it. True, the plot wasn't quite cohesive, but the episode overall seemed very introspective, with many good character moments. I loved that.

Lol, I read "acting ability" as in Brett Dalton's actual ability to act, and it was an amusing comparison.

Part of me hopes that the show was making a meta joke when Skye said she was given the name "Mary Sue Poots", but I don't think Agents of Obvious is self-aware enough for that.

That would mean Joffrey actually had a quite legitimate claim to the throne, though. Disturbing to think, for me.

I agree that Cersei's not innocent after all the murders she's ordered, but rape isn't justice. It's why people actually felt bad for Theon last season. We all hate him for his betrayal and ransacking of Winterfell, but he didn't deserve torture and castration. I consider rape to be pretty similar to torture.

This problem isn't, as you seem to be insinuating, whether or not Cersei deserves this. It's that Jaime, but doing it, is destroying any sense of morality or heroism he had established.

I might have agreed with Francis until he decided to lock his wife in a tower. No argument is going to convince me that was necessary. Moreover, the show hasn't written him to be that sympathetic or likable, and I just find myself unable to root for him. He's passive most of the time, but I never like the aggressive…
