Compare that with the Lannisers, where to Tywin family seems to mean everything

I'd argue Tywin doesn't give a sh1t about his family but rather the prestige and legacy of House Lannister means everything to him.
After all he's happy to marry off two of his children despite their obvious displeasure at the proposed unions.

He's not omniscient either as he dismisses the threat Dany poses as just a curiosity in the East when she's far more dangerous than that. Even Joffrey sees that.

To be fair, Joffrey doesn't see anything. He hears rumours of dragons and gets terrified, it's not him being a wise farseeing sage.

Oops, shouldn't be posting in here really. Point still stands, though.

I second that. I just watched the first and second season again and there's a scene where Tywin is talking to Jamie and he says that they will all die and the only thing that lives on is the family name and legacy. He will do anything to make sure that they become known and feared as a great dynasty.

Yeah last year the pivotal 9th episode in series 2 got lousy( the lowest of all the 10 episodes) ratings on memorial weekend - so it's been decided to shove it back a week.

Even though it was the Blackwater episode, the thing the entire season had been building to, crazy.

Rosy Posy

Regarding the worthiest ruler of Westeros, I think that one of the biggest areas of tension in the series is between the old feudal order, consisting of the monarchy and a social hierarchy that is transmitted by birth right, and a new, democratic social order, elements of which can be seen in the Brothers without Banners and the Free Folk beyond the wall. I think that Danaeres embodies a marriage of these two areas, being a queen by birth but also by encouraging a greater level of social equality in her followers. The Dothraki are interesting too in that they choose their Kahl according to strength. I wonder if, with the imminent invasion of Danaeres from the south and Mance Rayder from the north that the Iron Throne might become less significant in the long run.

Only since Tywin took over. His own father nearly destroyed their house and Tywin wants to make sure that they last even after he dies.

More along the line of the Lannisters being a powerful house...who declined under Tytos Lannister so much so that 2 of their vassals felt able to rebel. They had been one of the principal houses of Westeros....comparable to the Tully's, Starks, Tyrells and Baratheon's. (The Arryns and the Martell's being the other 'ruling house's of the 7 Kingdoms)

Nope. It's Memorial Day in the US today so it's on next week

No it wasn't aired as it was Memorial Day in the US. Moved on a week.

As I pointed out on an earlier post - HBO were majorly disappointed that episode 9 last year (a pivotal episode) aired on Memorial Day got the worst ratings of the entire series - competing against loads of college football/ basketball etc

And it was the best ep of the season! my housemate and his missus are catching up and they ploughed through season 2 recently, I watched the Blackwater episode with them, that bit when Bronn fires a single flaming arrow into Stannis' fleet and blows the bejesus out of them is fantastic.

I recently watched all the seasons again and this episode was brilliant. The drums on Stannis's ships were awesome and I imagine that if you were trapped in a city under seige it would put the sh!ts up you but Bronn really showed them who was boss! Well played Tyrion.

I can't decide who has a nicer ass. Daenerys or Melisandre?

Melisandre, without a doubt. I was watching Black Book on Netflix last night, a Dutch film, and she plays a different kind of character. She's got a lot of charisma.

Carice van Houten is fantastic.

The Hound has some brilliant lines as well "If anyone dies with a clean sword I'll rape his fcuking corpse!"
