Sansa is doing a great combination of, as you say, going through the motions and it’s making her sick to her stomach BUT ALSO using her words so carefully that she mostly keeps true to herself (without betraying that she’s kept true to herself). Sansa is always finding a way to be Team Stark via double meaning genius. I mean, what she is basically saying above is “I cannot WAIT until Joffrey is dead and I can love the king, aka my brother Robb. Fuck you guys, srsly.”

I am really sad (for my life) to report that I *think* the original Danish Linden was in this episode as the district attorney? And for no reason she said “Damnit, Linden!” Because that is just the kind of show this is #mcgarnagle

I mean, I am definitely Team Lannister (not Joffrey, obvs, but uhhhm I actually do ship Jaime and Cersei…? uhhh) but at the same time I am SO up for all these sweeeeeet icy burns (and the thing is, Tyrion is so great at them. Probably the best at them. Keep the burns in the family). MY POINT IS, Sansa and Robb are consequently my favourite Starks.

Characters really took the opportunity to go “BAM! inCESTed!” this week.

Game Of Skins

I loved this so so so so so so so much. “What’s that?”

“Lord Crawley reminds him that he does plan to involve him in running the estate (“You have to get rest and then have someone dress you for dinner EVERY DAY”), but Matthew says there is enough time for that AND a job. Oh yeah, Matthew? Did you even consider the amount of PLEASANT WALKS you’re going to have to take? Then, to close out the dinner, the old lady says that she doesn’t know what a weekend is. <3"

Kelly, you are the best.
