Thats the targaryan-"theme"  Jaime and Cersei, well, they are twins, they shared the motherly womb, and have been as close as possible ever since. In the book early on their relationship as kids in their childhood was described as inseperable. Even experimenting sexually in the early ages. Guess they just came to believe they were made for each other (certainly intensified by the tolerated incest of the targaryen-family, and adopting that reasoning) and continued to live that way. | ||

Oh I kind of interpreted what was in the episode as a kind of common thing happening in many of the clans. That many of the clans were trying to keep their blood clean so incest happened. | ||

Though some kind of mild incest does seem to be common in the westerosi-culture. Tywin Lannister, their father, for instance has married his cousin, Joanna. But that seemed to be rather common. | ||

He seems like a strict, powerhungry and angry old man. Those kinds of people make the worst rulers; though they unfortunately tend to be good at gaining rule. | ||

So that's nothing " they did in the middle ages" | ||

Anyway was Gregor brought to the Kings Justice? They kinda glanced over that unless they say something next episode. You don't know what happened with that at this point in the story. You will get to know what happened in the future sometime. | ||

IMO Bean is an underrated actor. I was REALLY excited this last episode. Amazing is all I can say. He really gained a lot more spotlight in the series, they altered some scenes for him to look more badass and likeable. I dont know if i agree with that or not, but he is clearly a very good actor | ||
