I thought of Varys being a Lannister toady and Baelish being anyone's toady if the price was right. He reminded me a lot of a sellsword... anyone's toady until he has to do something dangerous to himself so switches sides. He's so much out for his own self I just never thought of him as being anyone's toady... or perhaps everyone's toady.

I don't know, in book 3 I still had the impression that Sansa believed that Baelish liked her more in the way of an uncle and believed that it was still his love for her mother that drove him. It seems she finally gets it in book 5, but she doesn't seem adverse to it which is odd to me because he's just sooooo smarmy and creepy and phoney. Sort of like the creepy perverted relative that all the kids hate it when they come to visit and try to avoid but that the adults never seem to notice.

I've been wondering what goes on with her story line in this season's show since nothing much went on with her after her escaping Kings Landing until pretty far into the later books. I'm also really curious what they're going to do in the show with Shae since the book's character of her relationship with Tyrion was really different and they really changed that in the show. I like how the show made them a love story better though. This is the first time I can ever remember that when a show or movie deviates from a book I end up liking the changes better than what happened in the book. It still bothers me what happens between her and Tyrion in the book... it really changed how I thought of his character.
