That's fair. He does some questionable things, and they are almost all traceable to that demon-worshiper he keeps company with. But tied with Ned Stark is a pretty virtuous place to be.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Fun fact: apparently, based on the last two episodes, there are already fansites for fangirls shipping (a fangirl term for rooting for a certain romantic pairing) Alfie Allen's and Iwan Rheon's characters. :bleeding:

But Stannis is the embodiment of loyalty and fidelity, which is the highest virtue.
I wouldn't go quite that far.  After all, he betrayed his wife.  That sort of knocks him down into a tie with Ned Stark.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I can't wait until Jon takes off and nukes the whole continent from orbit- it's the only way to make sure.

I'm talking about his lying to Robert, you fag.  And even if that theory holds up, he committed an evil act by not killing Jon when he was a baby and ending Rhaegar's twisted line.

I'm liking Danaerys's story the best. Loved the final sequence with her "airforce" flying over her army.

Dunno about the tv, but it seems that for book readers her storyline is the most divisive one - some people love her and some people hate her. Personally, her "trade" in Astapor was one of the most satisfying events in the books for me.

totally agree with you :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

All of my favorite characters seem to get a lot of their storyline cut/altered or made into villains.  See: The Hound, Davos Seaworth, and Stannis Baratheon.  I'm hoping The Hound manages to get a bit more airtime in the coming weeks, and the setup for the fight gives me some hope.  Davos continues to languish with Stannis on irrelevant isle, so maybe in another week or two we can see them again.  Sidenote:  Hooray for Pod, the envy of King's Landing! :cheers:

I liked the late reveal with "Valyrian, motherfuckers, I speak it" - I think it works that way much better than in the books (where it would have been hard to keep it secret from readers, as we are inside Danny's head so to speak).

Is she speaking High Valyrian and the others have been speaking Ghiscari? They made two quite different languages.
