Going through a re-read, and I have to ask: What the frick was Cersei thinking making Janos Slynt the Lord of Harrenhall? Slynt is a oaf, incompetent, and does nothing for them in the Riverlands but likely spike more rebellion. Janos didn't do jack shite but be bribed, but at least Littlefinger legitimately saved King's Landing from Stannis. Littlefinger also has actual friends and connections from the Riverlands, so his appointment makes sense, but putting Slynt there is absolutely retarded.

Cersei is absolutely retarded.

Cersei is batshit crazy, and a sociopath, as evidence in all of the books, particularly AFFC-present. Like she has any reasoning skills that a rational ruler would have . To be honest, I'm shocked that she wasn't removed from power sooner. I wonder, if Tywin would've lived (and Joffrey still dead), if he would've sent Cersei back to the Rock or still try to marry her off.

Tywin approved of Tyrion sending him to the Wall, FWIW. Janos had no business getting Harrenhall, and it's cursed anyway. I'm counting down for Littlefinger and Roose Bolton to die since the Lord of Harrenhall title is cursed.
