Martinus

From the interview with Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos) about his last day on the set with Kerry Ingram (Shereen):

QuoteIt was really sweet on the last day that we worked together. I had bought an Irish silver stag that I had made up for Kerry as a parting gift. When I handed it over she had bought this beautiful throw pillow with a stag on it, like the Baratheon sigil. We swapped stags. It was very touching in our little pop-up tent at the end of the day, when we were handing them over.

:cry:

He's my favorite character in the books and very, very easily my favorite thing about the TV show.

"Dysthymia?  Did they get some student from the University of Chicago with a hard-on for ancient Bactrian cities to name this?  I feel cheated."

He seems to be the one good man of Westeros.

I hope Brienne kills Stannis.

Rob Snow, Fat Boy, Bannister,

I would call Jormont a good man.  I would call Tyrion a good man.  Jaime is giving appearances of being a good man.  Theon too.

The transformation of Jaime was so well done in the books and the show.

Starts off as the first of the clear bad guys and turns into someone you are actually rooting for...

They're both a long way from even on the scales.

Theon lost his unit.  I'd say he's paid the price.

I was going to say Jaime doesn't have that much to atone for but then I remembered he gimped up gimpy boy.

I forget - did Jaime have a role in the Red Wedding?

That's a matter of balancing misdeeds vs punishments, not misdeeds vs good deeds. He hasn't done a heck of a lot to make the claim that he's a "good man".

IIRC he was losing a hand while that was going on.

Are you going to post this every week?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yes and no. He wasn't there, but "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" is not there for no reason.

He has felt really bad.

No.  That was all his father's doing.  I think there was a scene in the show where his father makes reference to what he did in a discussion with Jamie well after the fact.  Jamie didn't have any role after he was taken prisoner.  And it was after that when Rob met his bride to be.
