After you have watched-along at our flawless affy comms (give some love to ontd_asoiaf and game_thrones!), come share your thoughts about Renly and/or Loras scenes and developments in this episode:

~1x07 You Win or You Die~



I will go first (because I have no willpower and I have already seen it last week)!

Gethin was amazing, all Renly's insecurities and convictions were all over his face. I was so PROUD of Renly's speech to Ned. He started out really nervous but then he went from zero to hero. "Stannis is not a king. I AM. Do you still believe good soldiers make good kings?" (finally, Loras' subliminal suggestions pay off!) YOU GO RENLY COCO. I'M PROUD OF YOU. LORAS IS PROUD OF YOU. EVEN LITTLEFINGER IS PROBABLY PROUD OF YOU SOMEWHERE AS HE PINES FOR NED'S WIFE WHILE DIRECTING A PORN MOVIE.

Sans Ned bashing (I love my Starks!), his dismissal of Renly was one of his biggest tactical mistakes. Clearly, the hands-on war experience doesn't live up to its hype when it comes to battles of another kind. All he did was to eyeroll as if Renly was a child speaking out of turn. THWARTED BY DOUBLE STANDARDS AGAIN, NED. If this were an episode of Survivor, you would have already been voted off the island!

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHERE THE HELL IS LORAS? Gathering the rainbow posse? Sending ravens to Papa Tyrell? Recovering from the reunion sex? DISCUSS.

I think so too, but Ned is not about tactics, he is about honour. ** Sigh ** As much as I am sad about what is happening to Ned, everything is so logical.

I am actually REALLY fond of Ned, as much as he frustrates me. I was devastated when-- you know. WHEN LORAS YELLS LIKE THIS, IT'S BECAUSE HE LOVES ME - this is where I'm coming from. It's part of the beauty of the books, you can always see where everyone's coming from and where they're heading like a fast train to nowhere, and there are always two, three sides to every story and almost everyone's moral outrage is relatable. I AM STILL ROUTING FOR YOU, NED.
