"My brother has taken up with a low-born smuggler," Robert says, half-outrage, half-bombast.

The Baratheon brothers' messed up relationships are really heartbreaking. I really agree that they just need to take a minute to try to understand each other rather than being so quick to find fault with one another, without analysing their own failings.

I guess the Baratheon brothers are so fascinating because their relationships are so messed up. Stannis and Renly's conversation in ACOK is fascinating on so many levels, along with Stannis' thinking back on Renly's peach. I have high hopes that the HBO series will at least have part of this awesome conversation, given the previews :).
