Man that was completely unexpected. This show is just so amazing, its so good and real and gritty its the best show I've ever watched. I just wish there were at least 12 episodes per season, 10 is way too little. I mean I could watch the show all day long, every day. Pure 10 out of 10. | ||

Cersei explained it last episode (I think?) when talking to Margaery. It's the Rains of Castamere, which is a song made because of the Lannister's destruction of House Reyne when they rebelled against Tywin's father. | ||

It is like Martin has transplanted our modern attitudes and expectations of the rich and powerful (1980s cut-throat greed culture), an elite removed from all social obligation, and slapped it into a medieval setting without much thought to how the whole thing operated. I'm not sure we can make the call that the rich upper class of today (effective royalty, the top 1% of the 1% cannot lose as they will have others help them, like Donald Trump, the railroad barons, etc) is any worse (or better) than those a thousand years ago. Evolutionarily speaking, there has been zero change, and society hasn't gotten less moral (and don't spout the Religious = Good fallacies to protect people that lived a thousand years ago because that is a damned lie). Read up on the War of the Roses, and in general, the historically cutthroat political intrigue of Europe. Remember, back then, royalty ruled by divine right, and any who opposed them opposed God - and boy did they use that to do the occasional vile act. The Lannisters are perfectly believable in that context. Robert Baratheon is based on Henry VIII, a king that by today's standards is totally amoral (and also tended to indulge his rowdy habits), bit off the hand that fed him again and again, and completely got away with it. Don't even get me started with the Mad Emperors of the Roman Empire (the Mad king = Nero, who watched Rome burn), the 15th century politics in the Catholic Church (House Tyrell = House Borgia), pre-French revolution France (Joffrey = Louis XV if he gets popular yet ruins the kingdom, Louis XVI if he pays the price for how messed up things are), and so on. If you think the rich of today are entitled, read up on the Opium Wars, and how the English Empire was built (because in all of human history, none have played dirtier than the English back then). Don't romanticize medieval times. People were just as bad then as they are today. edit: added examples, removed redundancies. | ||

However, I knew something had to have gone bad. There is not a single point in all three seasons that I can think of, where something ended up on the bright side. I knew that lords did not simply forget grudges or promises broken. I had a tense feeling going through the entire episode that something terrible had to happen to make this episode a legitimate GoT episode. I thought maybe Rob's wife and unborn child would be slain, but I did not expect that all of the Stark war council would fall that night. I keep watching the show and thinking that by now I should be accustomed to the bad and ruthless, but the show keeps bringing new terrors that make my stomach cringe. Even though this whole episode was beautifully orchestrated, I am still a bit sad that Rob died, he was one my favorite characters. But I guess there is no honor when you play the game, you either cut throats or have your own cut. Ned and Rob were no exceptions. Tywin plays the game better than any other. Things don't always go badly, not even for the Starks. Jon ended up captured in the middle of the wildling army, hundreds of miles of wilderness from home wearing the uniform of their enemy and they decided to convert him by letting him hook up with a hot redhead and then send him on a secret infiltration mission back to where he lives. | ||
