Game Of Thrones: 7 Things That "The House Of Black And White" Did Right (And 3 It Didn't)

10. Ser Kevan Lannister

The crazy is strong in the Lannister family. The twins have it. Their father had it. Their cousin Lancel has it. Even Tyrion has a touch of the crazy to him.

Enter Ser Kevan.

How fantastic is Ser Kevan? Not only does he seem to have missed out on the crazy gene, but he has enough of a head on his shoulders to see through Cersei’s political machinations. While Mace Tyrell preens at being honored with a new position in King’s Landing and Qyburn smiles beneficently at being named Master of Whispers, Kevan throws Cersei’s promotion back in her face and demands to hear the offer from King Tommen himself. When denied an audience with Tommen, Kevan announces that he will return to Casterly Rock. Unfortunately, the scene cuts off before Kevan does an epic Westerosi mic drop and storms out of the castle, but it was an effective sequence nonetheless. Come back any time, Kevan.
