4th of July 2025 Marathoning

To understand the depths Joffrey sink, she sends her guards (the same guards who slaughtered Ned's entourage) to massacre children/infants possibly bastards to her dead husband, the murdered king, so his place as royal of King's Landing would be unencumbered. Stannis Baratheon is motivated by the letter Ned provided to him detailing an incest breed currently considered the next king, fully prepared, however he must, even if that means abandoning the gods he once served in favor of another, brought to him by a witch named Melisandre. "The North Remembers" features these details while "The Night Lands" shows how Tyrion understands how critical a mistake killing Ned and butchering innocent babies are, wholly realizing that his sister will stoop to horrible lengths in order to have her child on the throne and in charge. Even if the little creep takes a slap after insulting her and his father's numerous affairs, warning her of the consequences if it happens again. This monster, of her creation, looks at the throne as a playground suitable to his sadistic whims. Tyrion sending away the lead guard willing to obey the heinous orders directed by cold-blooded Joffrey, afforded so as the "acting Hand of the King" because of his actions against the previous one (Ned) in "The Night Lands" is a crowd pleasing moment. As the thought mentioned earlier: the honorable and despicable suffer, some worse than others.
