Spoiler: Roose Bolton

Not even him. I actually felt a bit of sympathy for him after his long talk with Theon. It's kind of sad how he has given up hope on fathering heirs because Ramsay would kill them anyway.
And he does seem to have an affection for his new wife.

Ramsay, on the other hand...pure evil. Qyburn is some nasty sick fuck too.

She isn't evil. She doesn't do bad things just because she wants to hurt people, though occasionally she will do things to hurt people out of spite. She is, however, the definition of narcissistic and possibly a sociopath.

And those are her good traits!!!!!

That and her cheek bones.

the show's constant softening of Cersei annoys me. They want us to like her, missing the whole point that she was one of the few major characters to be totally evil.

That was never my interpretation of her character.

She's more stupid and single-mindedly out of touch than actually evil.

Joffrey, OTOH, undoubtedly has a little "666" tattoo somewhere

Littlefinger wiping the semen from a prostitute's mouth and then sending her directly into a kiss with the complaining client was .

Did that scene leave a bad taste in your mouth?

Hah! In the complaining customer's mouth more like.

Joffery is just a spoiled brat. He's been treated like his shit shit is made of golden potpourri all his life. Except for his parents, no one would ever dare call him out on anything because he's the prince. And his parents never actually paid attention to anything he did. This is compounded by the fact that he's always known that he would be king one day and Westeros is still an absolute monarchy with no check on the King's power. It shouldn't be surprising when a 12-year-old boy who has been taught all his life that he deserves absolute power just because he was squirted out the queen's vagina and that he can get away with anything abuses absolute power once he's given it.

If they hired him to a stern ruler-wielding Irish-Catholic nun to raise him he would have turned out quite differently. The kid just needs discipline and parental love, two things that were completely lacking in his upbringing.

Westeros is NOT an Absolute Monarchy, Cersei and Joffrey even had a talk about that in the first season when Joffrey proposed forming a Royal Army loyal to him and Cersei explained why that wouldn't work.
