Dinklage vs. Dickage: A Whore Saved is a Whore Earned
[There was a video here]
Warning: Whore.
I'll keep this quick since last night's episode of Game of Thrones used all the words anyway: Another setup episode full of blah blah blah. People joke about the "sexposition" on this show, but this episode really coulda used some more tits and thrusting. The best we got was Robb Stark making gentle love to that woman that hasn't stopped talking at him — he may have ejaculated prematurely since nonstop talking is this show's most beloved mode of stimulation.
Anyway, the scene above marks a triumph for Dinklage and dickage alike — pained-face maker Cersei attempted to hit back at Tyrion for attempting to send Joffrey to war by seizing what she thought was his favorite whore. She miscalculated, however, and captured Roz instead of Shae. Don't you hate it when you get your whores twisted?
This resulted in the nice bit of silent acting and then acting-acting from Dinklage in the clip above as he is initially horrified and then once he realizes his sister's error, plays along to pretend that Cersei has in fact captured his fav. Hooray for him.
There are two episodes left this season; this one was static. Hopefully the next two will give the pacing the kick in the ass this show needs. I'm going to be really pissed if this thing talks itself out of its supposedly imminent battle.
