26. it's apparent in the books that she didn't have a choice

In the books she wasn't put on a ship away from Kings Landing. But in the books there wasn't a love story between them either... she just acted the whore. She was also rather greedy in the books, too, with her wanting jewels and gowns and stuff like that.

The way the show had their relationship it's interesting to ponder about why she does it. I'm sure a lot of it is because she was caught and had to to save her skin, but there has to be something more personal as well.

I wondered what they were going to do about her testifying against him since in the show she had been sent away, and he had to pretend to not love her and be cruel to her to make her leave.

Man, I wish each episode was more like 2 hours long... even with an hour with so many different stories going on they can't get them all in with every episode.
