In the books, the war of the boy king is Catelyn’s story, subverting tropes of the dashing young hero who beats the odds and triumphs over all. She adds an emotional level to the story, as the mother who worries for her children, but she’s also a strategist and deeply pragmatic. She’s one of the few figures who realizes that they’re not merely playing at war, and understand what that must mean. In the show, however, Catelyn is merely the mother of the king, and no one wants to see what the mother is thinking or doing when the true hero is elsewhere.

This week on Westeros’ Next Top Model, the judges critique the latest fashion trend—appendage necklaces, why Ser Loras knows more about broaches and pins than all the other highborn lads and ladies, and the use of a certain lady of the night as a background prop in a twisted show (we won’t say whose).

*Requested by anon

Arguably the two best voices on Game of Thrones… Agree?

Gods give me courage. She took one step, then another. Lords and knights stepped aside silently to let her pass, and she felt the weight of their eyes on her. I must be as strong as my lady mother.
