(11,065 posts)Typical of medievil culture women are used as a means to and end whether noble or common. Cercei kind of reminds me of Anne Boleyn in trying to break that mold and have self ambition. And they both don't do well when they do seize control of aspects of their lives.
Both Boltons just disgust me. I never did understand why Robb even wanted someone like Roose Bolton so close to him. The Freys are nasty, but the Boltons are just gross. Ramsey in particular is foul beyond words. I hope he gets it slow and horrible. But if it weren't for him I'd not be feeling so bad for Theon when I never did like him much even when he was with the Starks and despised him when he turned on them.
It will be interesting to see how the show deals with whats coming and how far they go with the story in this season. Unless they really change things from the books I could tell they seem to be going a lot farther this season than I would have expected. I'm already curious if Shae just disappears or if they bring her back for the trial and what comes after with her.
This is kind of weird for me to have to wait for each episode since I never even started watching the series until the first three seasons were already over, so I could watch each episode one right after the the other. I also didn't even know there were books at all until after watching all three of the first seasons, so I was also able to zip right through each book without having to wait. I really hate this waiting on the next show as well as the next book.
