Game of Thrones Episode Six - The Wolf and The Lion

This Game of Thrones episode should have been entitled “The Boob and The Eye”, that is because the two most terrifying moments for me involved a seven year old boy sucking the tit of his mother and the fact that a sword was stabbed into the eye of a man causing his immediate death. Icky on both accounts, one more than other. Seriously, I can handle a maximum of 18 months of boob feeding by mothers because after that, you are just laying the bricks for years of intensive therapy. Just nurse him until 18, home school him and then enter him in the Scripps Spelling Bee already, thereby securing the fact he is a virgin for life and maybe a serial killer.

Basically this enter episode is centered at King’s Landing. King Robert wants Dany dead. Ned is done being the Hand. Tyrion is held prisoner by Kathryn who brings him to her sister - she of the suckled tit. And this lady is CAH-razy. Whackadoo is too kind of a word. Tyrion is forced prisoner in a room with a view - as in a room with no wall on one side, just your death. Windy!

The best scene for me was the conversation between Robert and Cersie, in which they drink wine and Cersei asks about Ned’s sister, the once in a lifetime love of King Robert. And Robert, says, “I don’t even remember what she looks like.”, but she was mine and was taken from me. Cersie in a vulnerable moment says that she did at one time love him, right after the death of their first son. And she asks, if there was “Ever hope for us.” To which King Robert answers an emphatic, ‘No.” Which goes to show you, guys are awesome.

Ned quits the Hand of the King, obviously finally being exposed to “The King Shits, the Hand wipes.” He knows there is something up with the King’s bastards aplenty, what could it be? Well given the fact that Jamie and his sister Cersei were humping Episode 1 and Joffrey is blond and a bit off, I would say perhaps, maybe, King’s Robert son is not Joffrey. But I can put two and two together.

Anyway things are in flux - Tyrion is held by Kathryn, Ned is now held by the Lannisters, my brain has been permanently damaged by the sight of a grade schooler saying “mummy” while suckling on his crazy ass mother and its Friday. So there you have it. I will be back on Monday with Game of Thrones Episode Six. If I can stay awake. This show is like fucking Unisom for me.
