meganbmooreI should say many semi-intelligent things, but I am mostly thinking about how much I hhhhaaaaaaattttteeeee Joffrey and Baelish. Actually, I had forgotten how much I hate Baelish. I suspect I hate him even more now because, just like the Fail of Ned's POV of Robert, the show emphasized how Baelish's arc in this book/season is essentially about punishing Cat for not loving/choosing him.
Also, uhm, I'm really tired of people saying that Arya's toughness or Sansa's "few moments" (as reported by others) of awesome are their showing that they're Ned's daughters. Other's have commented on this, but I feel I must whine about it too!
I mean, really. Cat takes on armed assassins while unarmed herself and holds her own, brokers treaties with reluctant allies with grudges, and walks into a bar with a single retainer and walks out with an army and a prisoner. Ned warns his enemies that he's plotting against them because he feels bad for them. Which of these parents do you think is more likely to pass on what's needed for survival at all costs amidst poisonous courts and unknown terrains where someone could/will stab you in the back at any moment. I'm not dismissing Cat's flaws or disparaging Ned's good qualities (though I think the show removed a lot of his more endearing personality traits to focus on him being the Stalwart And True Hero) I'M JUST SAYING.
Also, I think I shipped Cersei/Ned for 5 seconds in the garden scene. It felt very strange.
