Hah - don't mess with Tyrion.
And Natalie Dormer - :yum: Hey, if Renly doesn't want you, Margaery...

Technically a spoiler since I'm referencing the book, but I'm not giving anything away:Jeff Cooper said:I have not read the books, so I don't know where this is going, but it seems now that the deliberately intercut scenes from season 1 when Ned was forced to kill Sansa's direwolf, and Bran coming out of his coma were NOT 2 different events, no?
On another forum I frequent the non-book readers are scratching their collective heads on the birth. Should be fun to see their reaction after next week.joshEH said:http://www.hometheaterforum.com/image/id/852073/width/350/height/310
Goddamn. This show, man. Wow.
Joffrey is such a delightfully-evil little shit, I love it. And was Dinklage on fire tonight, or what? Completely owned both his scenes.
I'm curious to see the overall reaction to Melisandre's "birth." Apart from the Walkers and the dragons, it's the most overtly-fantastical thing we've seen so far. I dug it as a fan of the books, but I wonder how everyone else will take to it.
I'll go ahead and assume that unless Renly has another demon-baby-birthing sorceress on speed dial, he's pretty much fucked next episode.

Do we have an explanation from anyone why Asha became Yara? Just curious.
Man, there are so many wheels set in motion now. It's been a while since I read the books. I had forgotten how many balls go up in the air during this book.
I actually thought the bald, pale, skinny dude was Xaro...it's how I always pictured him. Seeing a HUGE dude as Xaro took adjusting...but, I loved how he towers over Dany.
Yeah, Xaro (Xhoan Daxos, he of the name one has to Google) at the gates of Qarth seems to have the right idea:Quentin said:I actually thought the bald, pale, skinny dude was Xaro...it's how I always pictured him. Seeing a HUGE dude as Xaro took adjusting...but, I loved how he towers over Dany.

Brienne stepped out of the pages so flawlessly that I actually giggled with delight when she said, "I am no lady". It was probably a rigged shot, but the way she absolutely towered over Cat in that scene was perfect.
Roose Bolton's introduction was a bit unceremonious, but the "look" was right. Not sure why Jeyne's name was changed (though it's not as stupid as the change from Asha to Yara...).
