"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Natalie Dormer is 33 and the kid who plays Tommen is 17. Just creepy and weird.

A little better knowing the kid is 17. Looks like he's 14. They're representing him as 13 or 14. So still creepy.
But Natalie Dormer's booty shadow took my mind off of the creepy a little. Men's minds are so simple.

The scary thing is, if you take the culture of Westeros to be analagous to medieval Europe, their marriage is actually quite historically accurate. People did get married in their early teens then, and quite often to partners significantly older (although usually the other way around with an older guy and younger girl).
It seems like they've aged Tommen up very quickly though. Wasn't he like 5 only a couple of seasons ago? He looks older than Joffrey now
Also I've decided I don't like Sansa's new look now the dust has settled. It was cool at first, but this black hair is a fool and doesn't compliment her skin tone at all.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I'm sure the black hair will go away soon. She was just pretending to be Alayne. Now she's Sansa again, and will be back to auburn haired lass in no time.

Tommen.... How outclassed you are by the women in your life... On the one hand this kid needs to step up and be king, recognize that he has the power to make shit happen, on the other hand, I get that he doesn't want to kill people to get what he wants. But seriously, dude! Before this episode he was a sweet kid who had power thrust upon him and wasn't ready to handle it. Now he's turning into a spineless namby-pants. Tommen needs to grow a pair and send Cersei to Casterly Rock.
Cersei is an idiot. I know she thinks she's getting her way and making an ally with that high sparrow guy and arming all those kooks, but this is going to come around and bite her in the ass. I can't remember if it was posted in here (and I'm too lazy to look) or whether my friend told me this but
Cersei is a bitch. Since she's a fictional character, I say that she deserves every shit thing that happens to her.
So now we've gotten the Rhaegar story... and plan for Sansa to be named Wardeness of the North... Shit needs to start going right for that girl.
Question about the Rhaegar story though:
I need to rewatch the episode more closely in that part.
That line coming out of Melisandre is just wrong.
Anyway, those are my thoughts...
