Re: SPOILER THREAD FOR Game of Thrones (TV series discussion)
Sometimes they're tasteful about the sex scenes and sometimes they go the outright softcore porn route. I thought the Littlefinger scene was a bit much but loved how he passed the chick that was blowing some dude off to the guy that was complaining. That was great.

The "seawife" that Theon Greyjoy has sex with while on his way home to the Iron Islands in Episode 2 was sooooo fucking annoying holy shit, forget her horrible looks, I could not tap something that damn annoying. Plus she had the weirdest/ugliest tits that I've ever seen on a woman. ---> \./\./

Yup. The casting/writing there was perfect to an absolute fault, LOL.
I wouldn't hit it from yards away with a sniper rifle.

IMPULSE:
Well right off the bat, I said there was little more dangerous not nothing, huge difference there.
[SPOILER]The point you're missing is you're keying into the intelligence & the strategy portion of the Game as the sole factor, it's not. From all we've heard of the Conqueror, there was nothing subtle about the man, he ruled through pure power & fear, he broke the current Houses & forced them to submit through sheer force. As Cersei has already demonstrated with Littlefinger this episode, even if you are more nimble in the Game you can still be eliminated by someone with less tact & more brute force. Of course the same is true vice versa, Cersei is manipulated & can be if you know the triggers, but it's been shown time & time again that she can also sidestep certain attempts. She's Twin without the deft touch; all pride & vengeance.
If there's ever been a series that proves that even the most skilled & talented pieces can be swept off the board by an errant, angry hand I don't know what it is.
As to your comment about her giving Robert a trueborn heir, that actually goes into my favor. She literally played the Game & won, at Robert's expense from the outset to close. She avoided actual sexual intercourse with him regularly & when forced to, destroyed any possibility of bearing his child. She conspired behind his back with his own Kingsguard. She positioned her own pieces around him at every turn so that his every move was reported back to her. She masterminded the death of the King in such a way that left her hands clean to a casual observer. She then used the information given to subvert Eddard's attempts to banish her & her children, placed Joffrey on the throne, & removed the most threatening piece.
And all this from someone you basically dismiss as a weak player. If she weren't so damn prideful, she would far more dangerous than she is & she's already murdered & King & replaced him with her own. If anything, Joffrey is even more of a fool than his mother, he lacks even her minimal tact.
Re: SPOILER THREAD FOR Game of Thrones (TV series discussion)
Thanks for taking this to this thread Genesis. You guys were coming awfully close to talking about book Cersei and I didn't want to say SPOILERS because that would've given it away. Show Cersei hasn't really displayed how dumb she really is just yet.
And she totally outplayed Robert, but Robert didn't even know he was playing a game. He was oblivious to politics. He's a war machine not suited for such things. He's a conqueror and a damn good one, but has no clue or even cares about keeping what he takes.
Also compare Victarion to Littlefinger. If Vic is in a bad mood, Littlefinger is fucking dead, end of story. This is hypothetical of course.
Re: SPOILER THREAD FOR Game of Thrones (TV series discussion)
i don't find cersei aerys dangerous at all. joffrey maybe, cersei isn't mad.
getting the throne and maintaining it are two different things. i'm not referencing the conqueror because well the game of thrones didn't exist before him. there was no throne. it was just people invading westeroes over and over again, and he was the first to unite the throne. i like to think different time, different measures.
if i'm keying into intelligence. it's because cersei lack of it concerning this game has her in her current position. where this argument stems from is cersei dismissal of little finger's statement. he tell her knowledge is power, she disagrees saying power is power. her son then one ups her with his power and if she had the knowledge of how to deal with him he would have never leveled his threat. she's close minded.
talented pieces can be knocked out by angry men. hell aerys knocked tywin down plenty of times.
trueborn argument shows how short sighted she is. she wasn't plannning on that to play some game of thrones. she didn't give robert an heir out of hate. he called her the name of another woman and she hated him for it. it bruised her pride so bad she decided to ruin his life. if she had one child with him, this mess that she created never occurs. no one would go looking into genetics. she could had easily had one after joffrey or her daughter. i can say no one would look into genetics because arya is the only stark that looks like eddard. no one goes around questioning if cat children have edmure as a brother. she out maneuvered robert who didn't want to be a king. he wasn't playing a game.
cersei plays chess, while everyone else plays checkers. she gets her king and jumps over the smaller things. one child and stannis and renly claim looks awful.
she didn't even eliminate eddard that was littlefinger who did him in.
i can't go around giving her a round of applause when she gets her son on the throne. she has to deal with the north and the riverlands becoming and independent nation. storm end's and the reach backing renly. dragonstone backing stannis. the iron islands planning on being king. dorne and the vale staying out of it. for someone so good at playing this game, she has over half the kingdom denying her son's reign. he rules the westerlands at this point.
the north and the riverlands wouldn't have rebelled if her dangerously reckless son didn't chop eddard's off.
