Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Auburn. And definitely one of those never-looks-right words.

Vortex,

maybe I'm forgetting some blond people then! I must admit, I was a little lost with all the characters. I need to go to the HBO site.

The Lannisters are the Queen and her brothers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG, I totally called the incest wrong. I mean, I thought those two should be sleeping together because they were pretty, but I totally thought it was the Targaryens whose nookie I'd heard about.

A bit eyerolly at the bare-breasted drumming barbaric brown-skinned people. They aren't all non-white, but it seems that's where all the non-whites are.

Well, historically the Targaryens married each other - as in Ancient Egypt. (In the book, I believe that Viserys makes some comment to that effect in about the timeframe we've seen of the Targaryens so far.)

Well, at least my incest-dar isn't entirely broken.

Good god, Coster-Waldau looks perfect. I totally get what they're going for character-wise just looking at the angle of his jaw.

The hair is pretty wack. Lena would look so much better if her hair didn't look so exhausted. It's a shame, because the set and costuming is exquisite.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

In the book the Targaryens married sister to brother to maintain a pure bloodline (a la ancient Egypt.) The Lannister twins' incest, otoh, is perceived by the other characters as an abomination. Not to mention treason.

Yeah, but I bet in Cersei's mind the Lannisters are as good as if not better than the Targaryens.
