I didn't understand why Tyrion was in such dire straits, holed up in some lil safe house either...Pops Lannister sent him there with the expressed purpose of keeping the boy-king and his mama in check, insuring somebody with some sense was actually there to rule...with him back and re-installed as Hand of the King, and the one actually calling the shots in practical terms, wouldn't Tyrion be good? seems to me there was enough soldiers there to witness Joffrey running like a lil hoe and Tyrion leading the charge to tell Pops what was what and have him make sure Tyrion was cool and Cersi didn't try to make a move on him

Cause Tywin has no interest right now on fighting politics. Once he arrives at kings landing he realizes he's a part of the game too.

Look at it like this:
- Tywin's army is at kings landing (nobody's busting their guns nomore)
- Tywin restores faith in the gold cloaks (even the ones faithful to cersei ain't busting their guns no more)
- Tywin has the tyrells in debt to his family
- Tywin has the respect and fear of Joffrey

As of right now, you can argue Tywin is the most powerful in all the lands because he has the lannister army, tyrell army and kings landing.

Why create ANOTHER game of charades when he still has rob stark to worry about. For once there is actual "peace" and the game and all of its players have been exposed. The board is sitting in front of him right now and for the time being everyone is licking their wounds.

So what if the imp saved the city. His moral victory would be short lived. It's easier to silence him than to silence the entire "royal" court.

cos he tried to take on his sister, who tried to have him sliced up.

tyrion upset way too many peeps when he wss hand.
He really didn't try to take her on though, not anything overtly foul anyway...he basically did exactly what Tywin sent him to do, kept her and Joffrey in check and keep them from ruining everything until the war was won and/or Tywin could return to run shyt...I understand him having to go into hiding and all that if it were just Cersi and Joffrey calling the shots...but Pops is back, and while they didn't have the best relationship, from what I can tell he had gained enough respect for him along the way and knew Cersi well enough to know what was what...especially when his wildfire plan and late charge basically saved the throne until Tywin could get there with the Tyrells to wrap it up

Damn Stannis lost. Hopefully he comes back strong but dude needs to make some alliances.

Jon Snow killed a nightswatch. Good hopefully now he can get him some of that warm and wet wildling.

Joffery stay winning through some shyt. I know he is going to beat up that new p*ssy he got. Both figuratively and literally. But dude did want to keep his word and that is very king like. More so then Robb at least he needed a pardon from god. Hopefully his grandspops smacks him around. Naw Grandpops is throwing punches when his ass gets out of line.

Robb I can't blame him that chick was sexy as fukk for the world he is living in.

And Lmao @ Theion great speech then his people knocking him out. Yo if this world was real i think i would ride with the people from the iron islands. They don't give a fukk about leaders and shyt.

But smh @ ayaria. I would have left with dude to learn how to kill people without being seen. She could have been a ninja and killed Joffery when the time was right.

Thing is, that's not even politics...that's all in-family strife...he has his son who he sent to hold things down in his absence...and in all likelihood helped save the city , hiding like an enemy prisoner on the lamb fearing for his life, all because he fell out with Cersi over orders he gave him to carry out...even without all the newfound power he has in the realm at large, just as head of the family I'd think he could put an end to all that and have Tyrion good

he sold her daughter off as a "hostage", cersei dont fukk about when it comes to her kids

he wanted joffrey out in the vanguard knowing that it was a chance to get rid of the little shyt..

thats why cersei snatched up what she thought to be tyrions ho, and said anything happens to her son and she'll have the same done to his squeeze .

he also got rid of her maester. dude who was hovering over tyrion on some smug shyt.

The wildfire was cersei's idea from the get go, tryion just tweaked it, happens different in the book.

Thoughts on the episode

- Tyrion gets no credit for single handedly holding it down. fukk his family forreal.

- Sansa was happy as fukk until Lil Fingaz was :usure: and she :sadbron:

- Jaqen can ... change his face? :wtf: someone explain this to me lol

- Dani getting them dragons to spit flames. :yes: shyts about to get real. Lol @ Xaro being a liar after all those "I came from nothing, now I'm ballin'" stories ... :sadcam: Drogo

- Robb ... sigh. Its aight tho, it'll workout. :to:

- I have this weird feeling Jon Snow will be the next king beyond the wall. I have no idea why. His story just got hella interesting tho :king:

- Theon's speech :laugh: so what happened, did his men abandon him? How could thye burn down Winterfell if they surrendered tho?

- Bran and Rikkon going to the Wall only to find Jon no longer there :no:

- The White Walkers :krs: So the ones on the horses are the OGs and the zombies walking are the turned?


Crazy episode, y'all not serious about a YEAR long wait right?

But how did Winterfel burn down?
