Game of Thrones 2x05

[theoret]

• RENLYYYY
• RENLYYYYYYYYY
• GET UP RENLY
• DON'T DO THIS TO ME, NOT JUST AS I HAD STARTED LIKING YOU
• :((((
• renly
• And my poor Tyrells! Loras is obviously sadder, but TBH, I care more about Margaery. HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO RULE EVERYTHING NOW? (Srs question, I await her further plans.)
• OTOH, Brienne deciding to swear fealty to Catelyn now is kind of excellent? YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES.
• Yeah, the Renly thing has done nothing to improve my feelings about ...Mellisandre? (I am too lazy to look up her name, so THAT IS MY BEST GUESS) and her shadow spawn.
• Nor my feelings for Stannis, TBH. But I don't think my feelings on Stannis will ever change from just vaguely hoping he goes away.
• Of course, now he has Renly's bannermen, Stannis becomes even less likely to go away. BOO. GO AWAY.
• Like, for srs, he is making me root for the Lannisters here.
• (As rulers of the south, natch. THE NORTH BELONGS TO MY STARKS.)
• (And I honestly just want Daenerys to rule in the East. I don't feel like the Iron Throne would suit her.)
• (Although I'd prefer Dany to anyone currently calling themself 'Baratheon', legitimately or otherwise.)
• (UGH JOFFREY, DIE IN A FIRE. I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO SEE YOUR HATEFUL FACE THIS EPISODE.)
• Tyrion is still okay with me though. JUST KEEP ON SCHEMING! I wish to know how he intends to deal with the wildfire situation.
• I LIKE THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER STARVING TO DEATH, DANY. :D
• THEON, Y U SO FAIL?
• TYWIN, PLS CONTINUE BEING A MAGNIFICENT BASTARD. :DDD
• ARYA, PLS CONTINUE NOT BEING AFRAID OF TYWIN EVEN THOUGH HIS WHOLE FAMILY ARE. Also that thing with the subtle death threat was excellent. MY HEART. YOU ARE IN IT.
• I also like that Arya has picked herself up an assassin. :3 I FEEL LIKE MORE ASSASSINS SHOULD BE DOING HER BIDDING. Pleasing!
• OH HAI, SHIRTLESS GENDRY. YOU SHOULD ALSO DO ARYA'S BIDDING. IYKWIM. AITYD.
• (SHIPPY SHIPPY SHIP SHIP)

Favourites:

1. RENLY BARATHEON ;__; (gets honourary first place. I don't have dead people on this list, but I DIDN'T EXPECT TO MISS HIM SO MUCH, so I figured I'd count him just once.)
2. Arya Stark & Gendry Waters
3. Daenerys Targaryen
4. Sansa Stark
5. Tyrion Lannister
6. Robb Stark
7. Cersei Lannister
8. Tywin Lannister

Going up:

• Margaery Tyrell. I like her enough that she is still edging towards my favourites list, despite the fact I do not have a this-is-what-I-want-for-you head narrative for her anymore. I guess I will wait and see.
• Catelyn Stark. Somehow her teaming up with Brienne makes both of them more awesome.
• Bran Stark. Y'know, I like that he decided on stuff getting done when he heard there'd been a threat to his people.

As usual, I have not read the books, please don't let me know about anything that has not yet happened on the show!
