I qagree. I always wondered how Tyrion managed to fall in love with Shae. but I wonder how the new Shae will play out at the end - The stuipidness was the major excuse for Sahe's betrayal of Tyrion. I think I will grow to hate the new Sahe with passion. she is so intelligent - can't she see that Tyrion is THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD?

The Littlefinger conspiracy is just something that crossed my mind as I was watching the show, but I always thought that Joffrey's decision was somewhat illogical.
