Well I liked the crucified slaves along her march to Astapor (or Mereen or whatever). And the contest of champions w/ Belwas and the sewer diving were all pretty good.

oh yeah sewer diving and Belwas. I forgot those parts. The sewer diving was great. I'm kind of upset that they left Belwas out of the show. The show needs a fat comic relief character to balance it out. lol

I recall Cersei saying that when she gave birth for her children, Robert would leave King's Landing and go hunting. Granted, the kids *are* Jaime's, but Robert didn't know that. All Robert cared about was whoring, boozing, and hunting. No wonder why he got so fat . And no doubt that while Joffrey is mentally screwed up from his Targaryen-esque gene pool, he certainly didn't have too many male figures in his life who treated women well, such as Robert.

Truly, I don't understand the love that people had for Robert Baratheon. He was an arse IMO.

That and the woman he thought hung the moon, to his knowledge, was kidnapped and killed. Then he got stuck with Ceresi.

I'd probably drink and whore too.

Robert was a good solider but a POS husband and father.

Well that guys twin was the kids mother so who could have taken after the mom. I wonder if Robert would have married neds sister if he would still be a shitty husband.

Agreed. I'm certainly not defending Cersei, but let's be realistic here. Fwiw I still think that if Lyanna and Robert would've gotten married that he still would've whored around on the side.

Robert was obsessed over Lyanna, but I'm convinced that she didn't return the favor. Plus I don't think Robert's assessment of Lyanna being raped by Rhaegar is correct. Maybe Robert couldn't handle the fact that Lyanna was more in love with Rhaegar than himself?

Lyanna and Rhaegar were actually in love. Robert simply had a boner for the chick he was matched up with.
