I wasn’t really commenting about the validity of the various religious beliefs. Just joking.
You’re right. He says so. However, I can’t remember a scene when the hound is appointed to the king’s guard. I’ll watch the episode again.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be the episode were Selmy gets fired, but it certainly happened at some point.
Didn’t he drape his white cloak over Sansa right after Joffrey had Ser Whathisname beat her? That would have been a Kingsguard’s cloak then, right?
Considering he was originally promised to the daughter of the one lord whose help he now needs again, I suspect not.
Cercei seemed to have a lot of pent up resentment over her marriage to Robert.
Littlefinger might not be such a bad marriage, even though he’s much older. It’s not like Sansa has shown a lot of great judgment when it comes to men (psycho prince, lord Gaylord)
I just read that it’s Tara Fitzgerald playing Stannis Baratheon’s wife. Wow, I didn’t recognize her.
I liked how Tywin’s reponse to Tyrions concerns that Sansa wouldn’t be happy with him was basically “why, were you planning on being a dick to her?”.
Wow, I didn’t realize it until you posted this. Never even occurred to me.
Selmy’s not on the council, but the question Jorah is clearly trying to suss out in their scene is whether Selmy knows Jorah is the source of the council’s information on Dany, specifically that she’s pregnant. If Selmy does know that, he can blow Mormont out of the water.
Would he have a reason to do that, though?
If he’s loyal to her, pointing out a spy seems like a pretty good move to me.
Eagle-eyed TV-only viewers on another board have frame-by-framed the scenes in Season 1 where Ned reads the Big Boring Book of Westeros Geneology, and spotted a Targaryen a few generations back in the Baratheon Family tree.
If he’s truly loyal to Danaerys, then it would make sense to tell her that her closest confidant sold her secrets to the enemy.
That she does. On one hand Loras is very attractive and isn’t going to get drunk & try to force himself on her. On the other hand his orientation seems to be something of an open secret, which would make Cersei a laughingstock. And being Lady Cersei Tyrell is a big step down from being the Queen Mother & nominal Regent. It’s even more frustrating than her first marriage since in theory she outranks her father now, but he’s still treating like his property. And we still haven’t seen Tywin try to force Joffrey to do anything.
I think the wife of Stannis won the “Creepiest Mom in Westeros” title. Having your brother father your children mom and overly attached breast-feeding mom were blown out of the water by Mrs. “Keeps My Miscarried/Stillborn Fetuses in Jars” Baratheon. The locking her daughter up and ignoring her was just the icing on the Crazy Mom cake.
Remember Poe’s Law? 
My original comment was specifically about a question regarding the validity of worship of the Lord of Light and what it meant for Stannis’s destiny.
He gave the reason in that scene. Selmy thinks Jorah’s reputation is too sullied (heh) in Westeros to sit on Dany’s advisory council once Dany takes the throne, implying rather strongly that Jorah should voluntarily decline any such position.
After Jorah sussed out that Selmy didn’t sit on Robert’s council (so likely doesn’t know that Jorah was the traitor) he gave him the “You don’t give orders here” retort.
Well, I won’t answer about that seriously since I’ve read the books. 
For those also wondering about Stannis’s daughter, I can’t help but think of the title and make assumptions that Stannis offered her up in some sort of Lord-of-light power grab ceremony earlier either for military gains or to produce a male heir.
It further begs the question how long Stannis’s family has been acolytes for the lord of light. The narrative made it seem like Stannis was a little pissed that he had to stay at home in the rock fortress instead of being promoted and living in the city as the Hand, but generally took it in stride. That means he sought out this magic solely for an heir and then when the opportunity presented itself Melissandre switched gears from heir-rearing to kingdom-conquering?
My second question is why are the Tyrells so keen on Sansa marrying Loras? I don’t think they would object too strongly to Cersei marrying Loras. If anything Cersei marrying Loras only strengthens the Tyrell ties to the crown. Marrying Sansa will give the Tyrells the North but it seems like it would be a lateral move for the Tyrells though a huge coup for the Lannisters. The Tyrells would gain influence but have weaker ties to the throne. The Lannisters unify their fractured kingdom through political marriages.
I don’t like how painfully naive Sansa is. She’s already been burned once at falling too quickly in love at the prospect of being in love. Now she’s head-over-heels again. She’s learned nothing in her 2 years of being at the center of political intrigue and it’s a wonder she’s still alive let alone making the same rookie mistakes. How she and Arya come from the same genetic makeup is a wonder. One definitely takes after Cat and the other Ned as far as judgement genes go.
Since the Tyrells are going to be married to the King himself, it would seem to be relatively much less important that their heir be married to Cersei. (Assuming he is the heir–he is isn’t he? If not it’s even less important.)
But don’t mind me–I’ve never wrapped my mind around exactly what these “ties” consist in really. So one of our kids married one of your kids–what does that mean in practical terms? Just the same as in any family? (We care about your family because our daughter’s/son’s welfare is tied up with your welfare?) Or is there something more straightforwardly political to it? Iunno.
Like, why should the Tyrell’s think it’s any big whoop to have Cersei married to Loras?
This is why I’m terrible at Crusader Kings.
