Because that would let the viewer know as well
lol.She seemed to understand some of the native tongue there as well? When she left the trader with Missandei she understood what she said. If so she probably can't wait to kill the trader lol.

Derp! Of course! for some reason that didn't stand out for me. lol! Yeah, she's up to something. She knew what that guy was saying.
It was done so well too. Really felt like one of those situations where you just know the translator isn't translating everything, since the person might talk for a minute and the translator just says one line haha.

Little Finger would be pretty pissed off if he found out that his whores refused payment ...
Same here. That shit was hilarious.
Honestly the most messed up scene this episode was Theon's almost rape. That came outta nowhere.
I normally love the Stannis scenes but I admit this one seemed a bit out of place and against both their characters. Though you could believe that both of them are kind of doubting the future since nothing is going right for them. I'm pretty sure I know where they're going with Melisandre's mission though. She said something about a king's blood and that it flows in other people... this is undoubtedly referring to Robert's bastards. The only one we really know is still alive is Gendry, so I'm guessing she is going to go kidnap Gendry. It would be a bit odd to intersect the two storylines like that, but it's the only thing that makes sense.
Slave guy is definitely going to get burnt up next episode, I hope he at least has a good death line.

God damn, Westeros is the rapiest place on Earth. Such a grimdark episode.
Ending music aside, that was an excellent episode. Maybe one of the show's best.
Edit: Oh wow, the preview kind of answers my doubts about
I'd recommend to skip it if you had the same questions or read my post.
- I will hate if Jon has to battle his former brothers or at least allow their slaughter during the raid
- What's up with Craster? It feels a bit odd to return to him after S2. He seemed like a minor character who only exists to show how awful is living beyond the Wall.
- I loved Robb GRILLING that dumb Tully nobleman for going on his own and not thinking about the big picture. Dude got scalped for good. Robb's no longer a boy, but a king. Damn fine acting, too.
- Dany is SO NOT giving away one of her dragons. They are her children and she vowed to protect them at all costs. She's clearly keeping her cards close to her chest. Something tells me SPECULATION AHEAD:
there's a chance that slavemaster is going to end like the witch doctor from S1 or the Undying in S2. I kind of hope that's not the case, though, you can only roast so many enemies without turning it into a trope.
- No more Hot Pie? NOOOOOOOOOOO. At least Gendry will stick around. I like him and he's cool with Arya.
- That bit about the Inn where Arya and the rest of the brotherhood were... was that the place where the Hound killed that young boy for being with Arya when Joffrey got bit? Oh God, I so want Nymeria (SP?) to return all grown up and thirsty for Southern blood.
- Melisandre is... I don't know what to make of her. Did she just demand the life of one of Stannis' children? I'm not cool with this. And why would another magic assassin deplete Stannis' life? He didn't seem in poor health at all.
- Talissa playfully terrorizing those Lannister kids was amazing. God, I love her so much.
- Theon's bizarre rescue... DEEP SPECULATION AHEAD
I'm so lost right now.Little bastard? Ruh-roh, is that Roose's bastard? Why did he kill his men then? If that's the case, is he acting on his own? And what the fuck is his play about?
- Little Finger only provides the finests broads. I said got damn.
- POD THE PONY. This needs to be a thing.
- I was feeling really, really bad for Brienne through the whole time. Something tells me that Jaime was right and she had a very rough life before becoming a knight.
- This show also highlights the importance or knowing your place. Jaime had managed to keep Brienne safe when he tried to exploit his captor's avarice. He didn't count with the fact that some people are actually bound by honour instead of coin. I actually liked that bit about Jaime uttering his father's name to vanquish all his troubles. You are not in King's Landing anymore, bru... Privilege can only help you for so long.
- I honestly thought Jaime was about to get raped, then spared, then... holy shit. A bit of a brass move considering he's a valious prisoner, isn't? I actually gasped when I saw Jamie lifting his stump and his face of incredulity. The second swordsman of Westeros is no more... and just because he ran his mouth off. Damn.
- Jaime's scene serves an actual narrative purpose: after so many people being safe and sound for so long, his punishment serves to remind the audience that nobody is safe in this show. Sure, he's still alive... but that was fucked up.
- That song at the end was the worst thing in GoT history. What the hell.

Theon's rescue and Craster's purpose.
Pod for king.
Daenerys isn't giving a dragon to that douche. No way, no how. She's gonna walk away from Astapor richer than when she came.
Jamie's sense of worth must be a mile below ground by now. Not so much from his hand but from hearing "You're nothing without your father" and knowing how correct it is.

Obligatory
Great episode, though.
It was tough seeing Brienne about to be violated like that. All of her strength, all of her honor, and almost overtaken by a bunch of mouth-breathers.
Also- I agree with others here. Dany has to have a larger plan here. Giving up a dragon is just ignorant.

the Tully nobleman constantly missing the funeral boat with his bow was fucking hilarious.
I said to my wife even before he started "whenever I see scenes like this the archer never misses. Man that would be amazing if ...."
and then he wiffed.
Then he wiffed again, lol.
Loved how Uncle Tully takes the shot and just walks off like a boss before it even hits.
That little scene of Catelyn talking about being a little girl and watching out that window for her father was fantastic. I love little background moments like that.

Wasn't the guy who kept on missing the boat and got chewed out by Rob Catlyn's brother Edmure?

He seemed to enjoy fucking his sister. Maybe she won't want him now that he's handicapped.
I was afraid they were going to kill off Jaime.
Glad it was only his hand
The entire Robb part of the story is starting to bore me, and is kind of replacing Season 1 Daenarys.
The Daenarys part of the story on the other hand is growing better and better.
And Tywin and Tyrion are more awesome than ever.

Unless there is not major twist, I think Dany's plan is very simple and obvious.
The Dragon's are not the Unsullied. They are not slaves and will do what their mother commands.
I'm just assuming the SECOND she has all the slaves, she will turn them on the town, call back the Dragon she sold and burn that whole fucking place to the ground.
Also, They tried to make it look the whore refusing money has meaning behind it but I'm in the 'Tyrion paid them ahead of time' camp. I think the whole point was to get some wine and get the nasty details from Pod.
Question: So Bron is officially a knight now right? Does that mean he has some land or noble claim now. Seems pointless to make him a knight if he just stays as a sell sword for Tyrion so I'm wondering if that's going to go anywhere.

Yes. It's Edmure. Cat and Lysa's younger brother.

Yeah, that last scene. Woah.... Like Funky Papa said above, I gasped when that happened. At first I thought he was close to losing an eye when they had the knife to it. Didn't expect to see him get his hand chopped off :0
Theon is lucky that guy showed up when he did. His storyline is one that has me baffled right now. He's not on the Iron Islands, he's being tortured by who knows. And that mysterious character who told Theon his sister would be waiting for him and ends up rescuing Theon later. Wondering where this is going.
I will eat a hat if Dany ends up giving one of her dragons to that trader. That was another woah moment for me when she tells the trader "I have dragons and I will give you one". It's obvious she has something in mind, wouldn't surprise me if she somehow understood what the trader was actually saying.

Dumb Tully nobleman? You mean Edmure Tully, Robb's uncle and lord paramount of the Riverlands? Who just scored a victory against one of the most fearsome warriors in Westeros?

True but I don't know what the slave master can even do in a double cross. If he tries to turn the slaves on her before the deal is done, it's bad for business and she still has the dragons. The second they close that deal and the mindless obedient slaves are hers, he is fucked.

After Blackwater Bronn is a knight but not a landed knight. It's an honor but doesn't seem to have a ton of actual benefit.

Shame, but still great for a mercenary. I was hoping he would start working his way into high society at King's landing just for the laughs.

No, the younger dummy who lost 208 men to regain a mill and left the Mountain escape.
Edit: Names and sarcasm, how do they work.
I imagine they would bring in the dragon and then he calls off the deal and takes them prisoner/kills them. Certainly something I would consider when I'm about to lose an army of 8000 highly-trained, expensive soldier.

No land, but his social standing went way up with the potential benefits that grants.

I was thinking that Dany would cross him somewhere in the future, but considering that we are talking about a slave seller, it wouldn't surprise me if he already had plans to take all the dragons.
Something is afoot either way.
Also, Dany/Emilia looks GOOD in that blue dress.
Ha. Was thinking the exact same thing.

Noooo poor Jamie now he has no hand! He's all deformed and humiliated like Tyrion and he'll be mocked forever and disowned or ridiculed by that dick Tywin and he'll have to fight with one hand! Least he doesn't have a giant scar on his face!
He was always so vain and a pretty boy, but I read in an interview some time ago from someone on the show that something would drastically change his personality. Perhaps it's this, or Brianne. That was nice of Jamie to help her out and he seemed to care for her when they were on the horses and he told her not to resist, glad he had some redemption and saved her, good for you Jamie.
And the writers and producers were totally trolling us with that "funny" ending and music. Almost every other episode had epic serious music and then this, yup trolling lol.
Pod you stud, you made Bronn and Tyrion take notes, you dog you!
And thank God someone is looking out for Theon! Was the same guy sent by his sister that freed him in the beginning the one that saved him from being raped? If he's not of the Iron Islands then who is he and why is he helping him, I must have missed that.
As much as I love Theon and am grateful he's safe, why Jamie? Joffrey deserves it way more than him!
That bitch Daenerys is so mean to people, and she's giving up a dragon for such a small army? It's under 9000!

We need to get Marc Antony off that shit The Following
Except they didn't and it was actually Tyrion who had paid them already. The gift Tyrion gives Pod isn't actually some whores, he's trying to give Pod some confidence. This is of course a much better gift and in fact worthy enough with Pod saving his life and all that.

I thought that was well done. Very subtle.
She mentions that the flames require a sacrifice of the blood of kings, so draw your own conclusions.

I wasn't completely sure when I wrote that post (hazzy memory, wrote between assignments), so I left it as "nobleman".
I thought she was talking more about Stannis family
edit: nevermind just remembered that he doesn't have sons/daughters
I know the writers have to include lots of characters to give episodes variety, but I hope they don't shy away from Blackwater style episodes where it's all in one place.
My main gripe with the show at the moment is that each character's story is too fragmented. We got what, 1-2 minutes of Jon Snow this week.
Whereas they could have had a 5-10 segment with Jon.
I just get settled into a scene and then it changes.

I kind of agree, I would rather have them tell follow only 3 characters per episode, that would make the season longer and the scenes would work better IMO
