It's only a spoiler if you haven't seen episode 2, didn't need spoiler tags.

Shae's a goner. I feel like Tywin or Cersei having her killed isn't their style, but something big has to happen where Tyrion gets in major shit over Shae. All this time I thought that Shae had to have some secret magic power or whatever, because her character was so worthless and pointless and idiotic that nothing made sense. Now I see she's a device for the sole purpose of bringing Tyrion down. Regardless, she is one of the worst characters in TV and needs to fucking die. For a brief moment I thought "maybe I'll just quit watching this whole fucking show on principle" during the stupid Shae scene. It's ironic that GRRM has written so many female characters so well, but then Shae ends up being nothing but the worst kind of bratty batty bitch stereotype

She's not half as bad as the son that killed the farmer's boy and whose story line they spent hours on last season without it going anywhere. And it's still continuing. I half expect him to just die from pneumonia without having any impact on the story going forward.
I am annoyed by most of the romance in the series. It's such an epic story, you're really not making it any better by punching it up with soft pornography and romantic comedy.
