Logging

TV:  Game of Thrones, S 3, Ep 8

I rather enjoyed this episode.  More streamlined, focusing on only a few storylines.  Quieter.  Funnier.  Particularly enjoyed the long wedding scenes where everyone is miserable.  An interesting analysis of the Cersai character in this discussion.
The show has tried to make Cersei a little more subtle and sympathetic than the books, but it's kept her fatal flaw: She can't see the difference between rivals and enemies, and can't recognize that it's as important to manage the former as it is to cow and crush the latter.
Very clear and interesting point.
