Game of Thrones discussion v25 Team White Walkers edition (NO BOOK TALK. No Spoilers)

[Ehrmantraut]

Cersei Lannister raised Joffrey Baratheon.

I had no idea, thanks for letting me know Frank.

 

[Rod1]

Cersei Lannister raised Joffrey Baratheon.

She also raised Tommen and Myrcella.

And of course she raised them because Robert was probably the shittiest parent in the whole series.

Possibly a big spoiler but the Previously on GoT clip shows

Spoiler

Benjen stark a couple times, no clue how the hell he is going to show up, crazy theory time

I would assume that Tommen and Mycella, and for that matter Joffrey were raised by nannies but Cersei probably was more involved with Joffrey. Mothers are usually more involved with their first child. Though Joffrey was actually her second.

Joffrey was wicked from an early age.

And while Cersei certainly spoiled him, she was not to blame for his wickedness.

Robert also had a lot to do with Joffrey going that bad, trying to live up to his dad was one of Joffrey's worst frustrations.

How was Joff her second?

 

[Thread]

I want a glimpse into something else of Cersei's. ;-)

Does it rhyme with cookie?

 

[ralphc1]

How was Joff her second?

She had a child that died at birth that she says looked just like Robert.

It starts at 1:45 in this clip.

Its more likely she was lying her ass off during that one.

Yes, when your dad is a Kingslayer, it must be tough to live up to. Cersei is responsible for his genetics and his upbringing. His wickedness is pretty much her fault.

She also mentions it in this clip with Robert at 5:30.

I consider Mark Addy's Robert Baratheon the best acting in the show.

Joffrey believed Robert was his father

And yeah Robert was a fucking baddass warrior.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

And lest ye forget Oberyn's story about cersei being all excited to show him her freak monster brother and getting butthurt when Oberyn just sees a little baby boy.

This.

Nope, but i read the books where you see a glimpse into the minds of the characters and you hear more about their backstories.

I like your judo, but fuck your books!

In the show, which is what this thread is about, there is no glimpse into the minds of the characters.

In the show, we only have their actions to go on.

In the show, she's a rude, entitled, evil bitch.

No more post count limits for GoT threads. We'll go by episode. I think this was Lethal's idea

This is awsum. I wish we did this back in the day, would love to reread the Red Wedding thread.

Can't fucken wait for tomorrow

Oh cool. Thanks dude I didn't remember that

 

[Peteyandjia]

Fat King was the shit

Ned was always my favorite, but Robert was a great character, masterfully played.

Same. The last two episodes have been a tease for the finale, and the last two episodes were amazing. My body is ready.

No. I've noticed that while they can torture, massacre, mutilate anyone they want, the one thing the writers CANNOT allow is allowing a mother or otherwise female character who lacks maternal qualities.

Cersei - loved baby baratheon even though she hated the fuck out of robert.

selise - dead fetus jars, flipped when shireen got burnt

stark lady - gives a monologue over how jon had the pox as an infant and she watched over him and how seeing him suffer made her pray to the 7 for him to live.

ygritte - massacres the fuck out of old town but when she sees gilly + baby she tells em to shush.
