TV: Game of Thrones

[Ryllharu]

I honestly don't know how anyone could pretend that "Littlefinger is self-serving," is a spoiler. It hasn't been obvious since this episode where he admitted chaos is a ladder for his ambitions, it hasn't been obvious since Varys said he'd rather burn it all down to be king of the ashes, it hasn't been obvious since he betrayed Ned Stark.

It has been obvious since the first time he tried to get Catelyn to leave Ned. He was trying everything he could do to get Catelyn, stability be damned, his reputation be damned, her reputation be damned. When he finally realized he'd lost her forever, he just switched to Sansa, not looking to be king of the North, just to have her as a mistress, because it would be kinda like having Catelyn.

Every. Single. Line. Anytime he speaks in that gravelly tone, it reeks of his destructive ambitions. A credit to his actor, playing such a one-dimensional character in a way that makes you think he is that much more, just like Littlefinger wants to be seen as.

This is such a non-issue, and I regret even having to comment on it, at the risk of continuing it.


Robb keeps wondering why he is winning every battle, but losing the war. It's pretty obvious to me, and probably the men around him. He's a good person, but a terribly shitty leader. He's too strong when he shouldn't be, too soft when he shouldn't be, and breaks alliances only to need them again, but now with terms twice as bad.


Great acting by the guy torturing Theon.

Exactly why I hate Littlefinger so much. Almost every important character has been shown to care about something besides themselves (well except for maybe Joffrey). Cersei has her kids and Jaime, Tywin cares about the family name, Varys cares about the realm, etc. Littlefinger is by far the most self-absorbed character in this show.

The conversation between Lady Olenna and Tywin was pretty awesome. I dont think I remember a situation where someone was completely unfazed by Tywin's presence.
