Fuck them, just really crossing the line. I think I may be done with the show all together or just watch it to mock it on twitter or something. Why couldn't they just come out and say she is out? Free hype, huh? People still watching and hoping.

'Your mother on the other hand, I admired her. She wanted to have me executed, but I admired her. She was a strong woman and she was fierce when it came to protecting her children.'

It's okay, little Cat. We didn't want to be on their silly little show anyway.   |

And then Jaime compared her to Cersei. ugh. I want to know why they hated Cat so much. Was it just the character? Did Michelle Fairley kick their puppies? |

I don't think they hated her, maybe they just thought she was boring and not worth having more screentime than absolutely necessary? I doubt they had any problems with Michelle Fairley, she was brilliant, and still my absolute favourite actress on the show. I don't know and frankly, I don't care anymore. It's over, nothing we can do about it. Just another wasted opportunity. Edit: I obviously still care for the character ... a lot. I just don't care what their reasons for cutting her are and I'm done losing sleep over this. |

Did Michelle Fairley kick their puppies? yeah, um Jaime...Catelyn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cersei Even the showrunners don't think so. I just think they have the characters they like to write for and Catelyn was not one of them, unfortunately. I did like Jaime talking about how he liked Catelyn even though he did not like her husband and son. And the Blackfish saying Sansa was just like her mother. Not having LSH in the show is just like Basil said, a total wasted opportunity. |

I would just like to ask not to fill this thread with too much negativity and bitterness towards D&D or GoT, please. This thread is for appreciation only, and it's sacred to me.

I need to bask in this thread after reading a thread on /r/ASOIAF. I'll never understand how Cat gets so much hate.

Catelyn is so much better written than either of them though

I need to bask in this thread after reading a thread on /r/ASOIAF. I'll never understand how Cat gets so much hate. Because how dare a woman find herself incapable of loving (as she understands it) the product of her husband's extra-marital affair. I mean, the sheer cheek of it! How dare she! Seriously though, a lot of the criticism seems to stem from people who cannot get over the fact that she had a very human response to Jon Snow and found she could not love the living embodiment of her husband's infidelity. I know the sexism card is often trotted out when it isn't warranted, but here I feel it is. Had it been Ned unable to love Cat's illegitimate son, or whatever, I don't think he would get nearly as much hate. Because women have ovaries, so motherhood bitches! Thats part of why I love her so much as a character though. She embodies the Tully words of family, duty, honour, (in that order of priority) and you see this in all of her actions, even the ones people call out as being stupid. Family drove her to King's Landing; the letter from her sister and the attack on her son. Family led her to arrest the Imp at the Crossroads; on the evidence, she concluded he may be guilty of trying to kill Bran, and she knew if he reached Kings Landing her daughters and husband would be endangered. Family drove her to he Vale, relying (mistakenly, as it unfortunately happened) on her sister being welcoming to her kin. Family trumped duty and honour when it came to Jaime. Her daughter's well being was more important than petty wars. She advocated the peace option despite her grievances against the Lannisters because she wanted her family to be safe. All of this ended in catastrophe for her, with her thinking all three sons are dead, her husband dead, brother captured, sister gone mad, father dead, and her two daughters lost to her forever. It's all very tragic, and it's made even more so by her resurrection as Stoneheart. Even in death, she can't escape the grief that drove the last months of her life |
