Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

WTF? Cersi is not going naked for the walk? Having clothes on makes it more real and a better punishment some how?
Thats BS. GRR wrote it as a horrible as it gets for her scene. Punishment for being allowed to live.

The first part I was paraphrasing her quotes about the scene. Are you just being aggressive to everyone on this thread?

All of what you call "murders" by Catelyn could also be called punishment for crimes committed. You may not think they are justice, but there is certainly a valid argument that they are. None of Cersei's murder can be justified in that way, not even her first attempt at Tyrion. Catelyn is no angel, but there is no doubt that based on what we know, Catelyn is not an evil heartless person in the way that Cersei is. You can keep saying it, but the evidence doesn't support it...yet. |

Just want to ignore this, eh Hef? Anytime you're in a fight 10:1 on CP and no one is supporting you, it's probably because your position makes no sense. Just sayin'.

Hey, it's not like he's trying to compare a multiple-timed attempted fratricidal, serial-insestuous, manipulative, power-hungry assassin of her own king and husband to a woman who hanged one guy after she was dead herself. Totally the same thing.

Catelyn's problem is stupidity.
Cersei's problem is that she's pure evil.

You said earlier in the thread that Cersei's reason for wanting to kill Tyrion was vengeance for Joffrey. That is only her most recent reason to try to kill Tyrion, as was pointed out.

So, for that instance of trying to kill Tyrion, do you absolve her of guilt the way you do for Catelyn?

If you can't win the game, move the goalposts.
