I adore Catelyn (Tully) Stark, I do. With all of my heart. She is my lady mother. She is brave and true and loves her family.

But I thought releasing Jaime was a stupid move.

If people who only watch the show think it was a stupid move, that’s okay.

It is not a failing on the show’s part.

Every word that Robb says to her is true. She betrays him. She weakens him strategically. She weakens him in the eyes of his men AND in the eyes of his enemies. She commits an act of treason.

Being a “stan” is stupid. Being a “stan” means you’re a completely illogical fool regarding a character. Why?

Why can’t I love these characters or at least understand them and feel for them, if not completely love them, and still think they do things wrong?

Maybe it’s because I’m from Camp Clegane over here, but I think everyone needs to calm down.

It’s a politically questionable move, yes.

But it’s one that comes AT THE SAME TIME AS ROBB MAKES AN EVEN WORSE DECISION.

And that is pretty important.

Instead the show is singling out Cat for her decision and painting her as a hysterical woman and I really hate that.

In the books Robb and Cat BOTH make bad strategic decisions that are motivated by grief and love, and they both recognize that in the other person’s actions and thus neither character gets angry with the other.

In the show, Cat makes a bad decision for shits and giggles and then Robb yells at her for it and puts her under arrest.

Do you see the difference?
