Off Topic · A Game of Thrones - HBO - Best Novels Ever (page 14)
I don't like the direction of Cersei in the show last week. Cersei loved Joffery to much to talk bad about her dear 1st born. I don't want sympathetic Cersei, I want crazy Cerci. 
.
I also, would have loved if Tyrion was on the wall with Jon being his counselor. That would have been interesting.
Another thing, Greyjoys are under used and they should have knocked reek out(reek reek it rhymes with leek). That would have really went away from the books though.

He knows his children and have a good handle of what they can and can't do. He knows tyrion is not a murderer.

The greatest irony of the show, in my opinion, is that of Tywin's children, Tyrion is the most like him. They both are pretty witty, sensible and very calculating/pragmatic. And in spite of those qualities both men still have a softer side, although we've seen much more of it with Tyrion because of how much more airtime he gets. But if you guys remember, Tywin was very hospitable and kind to Arya, back in season 2 when he did not know who she was. In any case, it's going to be very interesting to see, which one of the two, Tywin and Tyrion, will outsmart the other in the current situation that they are in.
As for Cersei, I never thought that she was "crazy". A woman, yes, but crazy? No, lol. On more than one occasion, she has expressed her disappointment for Joeffry and his behavior. Remember in season 3 when she had that heart-to-heart with Tyrion, after they were forced into their marriage proposals? She basically referred to Joeffry as being "a monster" but still her first child. The way she said it made it seem as though her love was forced and did not come effortlessly.
About the Greyjoys, I'm still trying to figure out what their overall purpose is in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they would have taken the time to introduce and develop their characters unless they had an important role to play at some point down the line. With Stanus in search of a Navy and the Dredfort being an ally of the Lanister's, I suspect that we'll see an alliance form with them to attack King's Landing. For all we know, they Tyrell's may have already recruited the Greyjoys to overthrow them. It makes too much sense not to happen and Lady Alerie has already alluded to their being a grander plan to Margarey. This season 4 is turning out to be pretty damn good.

I've read all the books so i'm talking about how "crazy" book cersei seems. I think almost everyone agrees with your pov of Tywin/Tyrion. They are two of the same yet Tyrion searches for love/kindness due to him being looked down upon all his life. So he is quick to be loyal to those who don't treat him bad.
I won't say too much about anything else but if you continue to read the books you'll learn more about the iron born.

Yes, Bronn is conspicuously absent and Shae never made it to the boat. Hmmmm Something didnt go according to plan I guess we'll have to wait to find out just what happened.
