really good armor would probably make a giant virtually immune to arrows or pikes and lances, so you'd mostly have to worry about tiny people hacking away at your legs. If I were to kill a giant in heavy armor, I'd probably use wildfire

I answered the question you didn't ask and the one you did.
She plundered the coffers of the dead guys in Qarth I believe, which was a lot. And it's called Qarth. 
During that scene it was the courtyard of Xaro Xhoan Daxos' mansion (or inside of the mansion) which was where Dany spent a lot of her time while in Qarth and not the city square. Even with the leaders and the warlocks dead, it was still a vibrant city with people beyond the 13 and there would have been guards, etc., that her 50 or so Dothraki couldn't have possibly overpowered, even from inside the walls.

I thought she only took the black guy's stuff and spent it all on the one ship.

The joke was he had nothing.
Just watched the histories and lores on season 2 last night. They were really well done, but the Qarth one has me thinking. If the 13 only rule the city because they're powerful and only rule until someone else powerful decides to contest the claim... does Dany now basically rule the city? Are there 13 others that have sprouted up?
Well Dany left so there might be some fighting going on for the scraps inside the city.
Yeah that guy was a sham.
But after the magic guy killed the council she looted their corpses or homes. My memory is a little fuzzy. I probably need to rewatch it.
Didn't they say that it was another one?
It was a pretty weak ass attempt on her life. I'd expect more from a magic demon child.
They killed a warlock. There are more.
Magic, I suppose. The warlock indicated to Dany in the S2 finale that their powers had begun to grow and strengthen since her dragons were born. So perhaps they've gained power to the point where they can transcend death. Or he never died in the first place.
This scene was in Xaro's palace, right after they locked him in his vault.
His vault was empty, but he still had the riches on display inside his palace.
I got the impression at the end of season 2 that they have money. Even though guy's vault was empty and a lot of Qarth's riches were found to be phony, it seemed like they made off with more than a lot of money looting what they could. I believe she intends to actually pay for the nipple men if she decides to go through with the offer.
Edit: thanks for the clarification of it being X's place. I just assumed it was a public space because I thought I recalled some scenes of them being there along with a bunch of regular Qarth citizens. For instance, once when they first got there and she stopped a raki from stealing the golden figure and another time when the warlock was doing his magic tricks and people applauded.

Who didn't die in Qarth? Let's be honest.

I think it's season 4 actually that he's going to cameo.

Liam Cunningham talks Davos' return
Question for you guys that haven't read the books: Were you surprised to see Davos alive in Sunday's episode?

Ser Jorah is such a massive simper.

I'd move Davos and Stannis up, and move Robb down a level. Other than that, a pretty good list.
Edit; also Melisandre moves down
^yay my creation lives on
the wall is missing the new, old knight guy ('cool'), Margaery should be moved to 'cool' and Tywin was 'seriously uncool' this episode
ehh no. Tywin was Sub-Zero this episode. He nailed it as a character.
he was brutal in that scene. Poor Tyrion was close to tears

It was the first time I ever saw Tywin as a complete piece of shit. Not that his penchant for burning villages to the ground was any less tolerable, but still.

He has a fine taste in whores and that's about it.
Having recently come from watching the Walking Dead, it's obvious the two shows are very different. While it also has a large cast it's primarily centered on group the whole time, in a single location.
The Walking Dead has double the cast, double the stories in a ton of different locations.
The Walking Dead had 16 episodes for season 3 and yet fans are upset saying they are filler.
You can't say the same for Game of Thrones. My only recommendation would be 1 hour and 30 minute openers and finales. Maybe two hours. It's a better way to reintroduce the audience to the cast and situations or send them out with a bang waiting for the next season.

I was quite impressed that Tyrion had absolutely nothing to say. For a dude like him to just... leave. That was brutal (and fantastic acting btw).

Hahaha, don't make me laugh.gif
The character development for GoT is fucking light years ahead of that pile of shit called season 3 TWD.
The "They said you lost your nose" line gave me a good laugh xD
Arya needs to be waaaaaaaaaay higher ... sometimes I think she is way overpower on the series

HBO makes their money on subscriptions and DVD sales. Episodes of their shows are not available on services such as Amazon, iTunes, Xbox Video, etc until the DVD sets come out.

that money is a pittance in the grand scheme of what they make with cable providers
No argument here. I thought it was the best scene in the episode and didn't change my views on Tywin.
He's such a great character (with a great actor), but I'm so looking forward to what Tyrion does now, he's been under his fathers shadow for so long, trying to please him, well that's finished.
I'm looking forward to his revenge. I really hope that happens.
I know, I worded it poorly. I meant to say, that TWD feels a lot like filler despite it having 16 episode seasons. And that Game of Thrones does better with less and even has more stories to follow as well.
I'd prefer 90 minute season openers and finales however for Game of Thrones.
I wish they'd do extended episodes for the DVD/BR.

So do you guys think the guy is messing with Dany by holding up 8 fingers? She assumed that 8 meant 8 thousand, but he appears to hate foreigners so he might only be willing to sell her 8.
If you listen you will realise it was the female translator who said "eight thousand", confirming it.
Damn I though it came out a day or two later like every other tv show.. fuck
