Nobody can say this chapter isn’t memorable.

The story so far…

Cersei’s working on isolating and conquering her enemies, most of all the Tyrells. Sometimes other problems pop up too. It’s probably the Tyrells’ fault again.

This chapter contains discussion of rape and a rape scene.

Well folks, I’m not quite sure how it happened, but it’s late April again. Which means Game of Thrones season. And whether you are an unabashed book snob like many of us, or the disinterested spouse of a casual viewer, for the next two and a half months, you are not going to be able visit any social media site, or attend a company potluck, or read the NY Times without some aspect of this show bombarding you. “Can you believe who they killed off?!” Yes, yes I can, Debbie, because nearly every Shocking™ moment on this show is completely unmotivated.

It’s for this reason the “if you don’t like it, don’t watch it” argument is ridiculously unhelpful. Do people think it never…actually…occurred to us? This damn thing is inescapable. Especially in “nerdy” spaces.
