Tumblr of Thrones, How the line or commentary is delivered is irrelevant, would you rather of had Tyrion just call her a weak cunt? Either way, the point of the dialogue remains. Clearly she is not only good for being a mother, clearly she is more intelligent than that. It’s the male characters underestimating the strong female characters that is a cornerstone of this series and would that seems to be lost on too many people.

I think what you’re saying came across in the books, but I wasn’t seeing it conveyed in the season 2 writing. I know what you mean, and that is something that I love about the books, but it wasn’t happening for me in that scene.

The TV show hasn’t done so hot at conveying some of the subtleties, in my opinion. I do still love the show. It’s just one area I’d like to see improvement on. Adapting these books is a pretty monumental task, and the subtleties are usually the first to get lost in the fray.
