Oh Sansa is definitely a dumb girl but Margaery going to Joffrey is no guarantee it works out in her favour.
It was in Ned's favour to admit he was a traitor and he would be shown "mercy". That didn't turn out too well...
I do have to say Margaery is playing things well, she is so manipulating Joffrey. I was actually shocked he was showing interest in a woman for once.

How will Jamie get out of this one!
The Hound is a dick to everyone in the entire world, except for Sansa. Probably because he felt sorry for her.

What are they going to do with the children?!
Everyone is getting huge too fast.

What kind of answer is that man? Dude, it's not a book spoiler is it? This is the no book spoiler thread man. Wtf. Why do guys like you have to ruin it for us? Pulling this "I think it's this, but I'm just guessing crap".
EDIT: THE FACT YOU'VE NOW STEALTH EDITED BOTH POSTS WITHOUT A MENTION WHY YOU EDITED THEM, TELLS ME ITS TRUE
That aside, what do you guys they'll do with Jamie? I have a feeling that Robb won't let Karstark behead him just yet, not while they still have Sansa.

The player really is shit. Can't even improve the buffering by pausing, and it's low res shit all the way through.
I love reading the replies in this thread, you guys are in for a treat this season.

First 10 minutes:
At the beginning Bran has a dream of the three-eyed crow, and he tries to shoot it with his bow and arrow (with Robb and Jon Snow giving advice). No matter how hard he tries, he can't kill it. There's another boy in the dream that he doesn't know, he finds out later that the boy is Jojen Reed. He, Rickon, Osha, and Hodor continue their journey to the Wall.
Robb's camp gets two letters - both bad news. One informing him that his grandfather (Lady Catelyn's father) has passed away at Riverrun, the other (from Roose Bolton's bastard) finally telling him that Winterfell was burned to the ground, the castle put to the sword, the Ironmen escaped, and that Bran and Rickon are missing/presumed dead or captured. Catelyn wonders why Theon has sent no letters demanding ransom if he has escaped with Bran and Rickon as hostages.

Next scene is the one you walked in on.
I don't think you need to spoiler tag anything that has aired already. That's what I love about this thread. We can discuss it as it airs. I read the OP to make sure. It sucks for those that haven't watched it yet, but they should avoid the thread until they watch.
Edit: anyone else can't believe how different Bran's voice is? Watching season 2 to now, it's completely different. There's the hint of the 'child' gone already.

I love how Margaery is playing Joffrey, she knows what to do to keep her king happy. And she probably used her conversation with Sansa to know what he likes. Maybe Tyrion will betray his family and flee with Sansa and Shae, I'd like that to happen.
Bran's story just got more interesting and explains a lot of what happened previously. And I'm glad Brienne was able to handle the kingslayer because I was pretty certain that she was going to die there.
I hope the Hound likes Arya as much as he liked Sansa. She'd be safer with him.

I don't know, when he mentions "what are you doing with that Stark bitch" didn't convince me too much. It was a surprise to see The Hound but god damn at the timing, poor Arya can't catch a break. :/
Really love how the Dire wolves are represented onscreen since season 2 when they went with CG. I think they look great. Brienne was pretty damn impressive against Jaime even going at it one handed. Eager to see how this is resolved.
Even though this show is only an hour long it still feels like it flies by and I'm left wanting more, always a good sign in my book. I love how things build up over the season and so far leading to 2 satisfying season finales so far.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
She's skilled. In season two she defeated a group of men (offscreen if I recall) which is how she ended up as Renly's personal bodyguard.

Ah, that's what it was. Sorry, it's been a while.

A mix of both really, it can't be easy to fight in chains no matter how good you are. But Brienne did beat Loras who is considered one of the better knights in the 7 kingdoms.
I really think the demand surge must be pretty sizable this season, as it worked pretty well last year.
True, but Jaime is hyped as the best of the best -- though he ranks himself as such and stated only 3 men could match or beat him. Her beating him with relative ease was just disappointing to see.

It would be interesting if he can control dragons. I'm interested to see if they ever actually develop into intelligent versions or if they are going to be strictly animal like and maybe that will dictate it.

I like Margaery Tyrell so much. She's playing the game well at the moment. Being kind to Sansa thus receiving pertinent information about Joffrey. During their sit down, I thought the traitor talk was alluding to the discussion with Sansa, but thankfully it was not and it was about Renly who she outed as a way of gaining Joffrey's trust. Really good stuff there.
The rest has a lot of things going on. Finally a name for seeing visions through the eyes of animals, Brienne all suited up winning a fight with Jaimewhere she could not kill him, the William Hurt looking guy and his band of men running into Arya's trio and the hound being the first person to actively identify her existence. So many new characters to digest and to understand.
"Hodor, Hodor."

He has also been locked up with almost no food probably for quite awhile, he wasn't nearly at full strength AND he was in chains.
Both of which were stated in an earlier post.
Ok? It still answers your post about how disappointing it was. You can't expect him to just immediately pick it back up after weeks/months however long of being a prisoner and being the best of the best again. He held his own at the beginning, but obviously became tired.

I don't think you should be disappointed. His hands were bound, he's tired and has been malnourished for a good bit, and he was unarmored fighting a giant opponent in full armor. That's a lot of disadvantages, there.
His quote about there only being 3 swords in the kingdoms equal to his is stretching the truth a bit. He's a Lannister, afterall.
This show is simply amazing how it balanced out 50 different storylines and still make them feel like they're pretty fleshed out. It's not perfect in some events considering the time constraints, but they've done a good job of making me look forward to different stories and remembering the characters' personalities instead of just struggling to come up with the names.
Margaery has been awesome this season basically manipulating her way wherever she wants. She's damn gorgeous too of course.
Stupid question time: Why is the Kingslayer's hair so much darker now? Is it just from the long march and getting dirty (although I thought it was blonde still last season during the long journey)? I thought maybe they had some killer dye in King's Landing or something.
I'm sure it's just my memory failing me mixed with some painkillers but I thought it was lighter even last season.

If it's darker, I'd say it's to disguise him.

Well at least Catelyn finally admitted it, "I am the worst".
Caesar's Mance is boring.
Mackenzie Crook is not.
Jojen/Meera reveal was pretty awesome.
Brienne is the best.
Great episode.

Good point actually. I just don't remember them ever mentioning it and it seemed like it just sort of happened this season. Maybe I'll assume they did that during their trip while it was the off-season.
