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 |

He also has a capacity for writing hundreds upon hundreds of pages of largely useless drivel that doesn't progress the story in any relevant way (see: nearly all of A Feast for Crows).

Just because it's more justified than a bunch of other murders doesn't mean it's actually justified. Here's a question: what about Renly? Was his murder justified? |

Shae's death in the show wasn't even a murder, it was self defense, and the complexity of Tyrion's character suffers for it. |

errr...yes? The stable boy was going to take her back to be imprisoned, and the gate guard was a soldier in an army her family was at war with, right?

Hmm...I don't see those circumstances being more deserving of murder than what Shae and Tywin did to Tyrion myself. The first two are innocents that are part of a group that are opposition to Arya, the latter are about as close to Tyrion as you can be in a father and lover, both of who betrayed him worse than anyone on Arya's list, much less these two examples that weren't.

Yes, if you marry a woman as hot as Margaery and don't bang her on your wedding night until your pecker falls off, you absolutely should be murdered a thousand times. I don't care that he liked fellas, a piece of ass that good cannot be ignored.

My favorite Arya kill was when she stabbed the Tickler over and over again while yelling "is there gold in the village!" That one was definitely justified as that guy needed to die an awful death for torturing all those people.
