Their family is... a little ****ed up.

It's amazing that some of them turned out relatively level-headed.

I can't believe I defend Oerdin here, but that is not a spoiler.

You're right. It's not. My bad.

No, I mean impressive even by GoT standards, a high bar to hurtle.

Spoiler:

Pretty much only one of them did and he's a minor character (Kevan)

[Felch]

Tyrion, Tommen, and Myrcella seem alright.

[self biased]

Tommen has the IQ of your average 'poly poster.

[regexcellent]

If we don't see Ser Pounce this season I'm gonna go postal.

Actually, he might not appear until next season. Anyway point stands.

edit: I'm not really sure what they'll do with Tommen's character. The kittens thing was supposed to indicate that he is childlike and blithely ignorant but that's obviously not the angle they're going for when he's about 4-5 years older and getting lessons in upper management from his grandfather.

[Felch]

Tywin's lesson amounted to "listen to me and do whatever I tell you." Although you're right that at his age he'd prefer pussies to kittens.

Spoiler:

Kevan (Tywin's younger brother) is like a good second in command but his son isn't exactly level headed. He has an affair with the his cousin Cersei, conspires to help attempt to assassinate his cousin Tyrion, then goes super religious and gives away all of his property to the "sparrows" (a militant religious order who later gets out of hand and challenges authorities), while even Tyrion tries to drink himself to death and considers poisoning himself after he kills his father and flees into exile. It's likely that the red viper poisoned Tywin anyway so he was in the stages of dying before Tyrion killed him too. We know the red viper was having dinner with Tywin the night before he is to duel the mountain and we know the red viper wanted to kill both the mountain and Tywin over the death of his sister, we know the red viper is killed by the mountain in the duel but the mountain dies anyway from poison, meanwhile when Tyrion finds his father his father is trying to go to the bathroom, his body order smells horrible, and his eyes are extremely bloodshot so that is exactly like one of the poisons the maester described earlier in the series (where a man's digestive system shuts down and he slowly dies of his own waste which he can't eliminate).

[Hauldren Collider]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if the inevitable twist regarding the White Walkers is that everyone's been doing some Namco Tales style soylent green thing and the White Walkers are just the planet retaliating against Humanity.

I think I might even be willing to put money on that at this point though.

nvm

but the mountain dies anyway [citation needed]

[Dinner]

Well, the next episode is about halfway over on the east coast feed so it should be hitting the torrents in about half an hour.

Spoiler:

but the mountain dies anyway [citation needed]

Spoiler:

He dies from poison and his head is sent off to Dorne while his body gets sent to the defrocked maester who got kicked out of the maester brotherhood for attempting black magic on dead bodies. That guy (I can't remember his name) supposedly reanimates the headless corpse.

Ser Pounce!
