      Lena's got a family now, and her kids are the age that she doesn't want to miss; when I hear the Game of Thrones cast asked questions about "What props did you keep(or take) as a souvenir?" And she usually says "nothing" and nobody EVER mentions that she got a pretty good husband(Pedro Pascale, who was Prince Oberin) from the show.

    The weird thing is we hated Joffrey for what he did and how he was. And when he was the king we were like if he dies the next one can't be worse than him.
    But then Tommen takes the throne and ends up being worse than Joffrey in a completely different way. And we actually think Joffrey would have handled this situation much better, and that this would not be happening if he was still alive.
    I mean GRRM's writing is absolute genius.
