- Locke retroactively became one of my favorite characters for chopping Jaime's cunt hand off his cunt body. I hope everything terrible & tragic befalls him.
-I got way too excited about a man writing a letter to a bank. The Lord of Light is about to bless King Stannis with enough gold to take what is his.
-As suspected Arya can turn on the murder switch when vengeance calls then turn it off. Felt bad for The Farmer but it's hard to argue with The Hound's logic there.
-Pod better make it out alive. He might be too loyal for his own good, though. Extremely touching scene with Tyrion. The three Amigos will be dearly missed.
-That Wildling raid was spectaculay shot and edited. Beautiful green vistas, rolling hills, a child having a nice stroll with his father, then absolute chaos x100.
-Is it me or is Jon starting to grown on Thorne a little? Pysched about them riding on those murderous deserters at Crastor's keep. Battle of the Crows. Revenge for Mormont!
-Civil rights Dany is the superior Dany. Her speech half convinced me to call into work tomorrow. The reaction of the masters and slaves was great. God damn Ser Barristan...sword so clean you can eat off it. New Daario is fine. I preferred the original but it's not like he's coming back. Also, if you play it frame by frame, you can see Jorah's soul leaving his body when Daenerys calls him her "very best friend in the world". Keep ya head up Ser Jorah, we've all been there.

I was wonderinf where littlefinger went and now we see him im the shadows lurking anf plotting. I'm sure him, Varys, Tywin and Grandma Tyrell are in cohoots knowing there will be another bloody war soon with the Northerners, Daenarys and stannis Baratheon. Tywin is calculating an willing to throw his son Tyrion under the bus soon.
Offered lead role in the new Transporter movies.
Google "Rape of Thrones" if you want more info on this since we're not comparing the books in the thread.
the old actor is the new Transporter

Wait but the poison wasn't in the necklace right? Littlefinger just capitalized on the opportunity, he didn't actually orchestrate the plot right? We still don't know how Joffrey actually died...

The slaves outnumber the slavers, and with Daeny there to back them up they're free to do as they wish. The barrels were nothing but a display of freedom.

It's not so much that he's miscast, it's just that the other guy was obviously cooler -- and as such, an easier sell with Daenerys coming off the badass Khal Drogo.
If it had just been the current guy from the start, people wouldn't have this feeling of a downgrade.
No he confirmed that poison (The Strangler) was in the necklace while speaking with Sansa.

Thanks. Seems like a lateral move at best. Probably gonna be DTV, I'm sure it pays better though.

Did he? He smashed the gem but nothing actually came out? I thought it was just a thing to get her to trust the fool.
So now we know Littlefinger was in on the plan to kill Joffery. Littlefinger says he had the necklace made a few weeks ago.
And last week everyone with a DVR that could pause was clearly able to see Oleena Tyrell's slight of hand taking the jewel from Sansa's necklace.
How the heck did Littlefinger + the Tyrells get together and plan this? Who else was in on the plan, or at least knew about it? Varys? Right now based on Oleena and Margaery's conversation I don't think Margaery knew.

Also, judging by her conversation with Margaery. Olenna is involved in his death. Margaery seems to be oblivious to it though.

Really? Why would you tell us that?

He smashed the gem to show how easily it could be smashed -i.e. not a real gem. Looks like the poison was crystallized and designed to dissolve in liquid.

I thought that was to show that the necklace was actually made of cheap glass and not real jewels?

Oh, derp.
Edit: Or ^^ could be right. I have no idea at this point, hopefully they reveal it within the next few episodes. Have a Stannis gif.
That's what made him good. I was like, "get away from Khaleesi you doucher!" While this new guy is all, "yeah, meh, whatever."

So that means Littlefinger was collaborating with the Tyrells. I wonder what they stand to gain?

A stable king.
That Pod scene made me a little misty. The gang's been broken up.
Dany pls respond
nice

Littlefinger didn't say poison was in the jewels. He smashed the jewels to prove that the fool was lying about the necklace being a family heirloom.

This show is filled with characters like that. Everyone is an unlikable, and hate-able, cunt at some point.

Why would he take the risk of getting Sansa the necklace if it contained no poison?

I love Dany so much. I've never seen canons used for such a motivational purpose. My money is on that lady.
Jaime just dug his own grave.
Edit:
Sam is literally a fictional GAF poster in Game of Thrones land. Gilly is Lara Croft and he wants to protect her.

And also why would he draw Sansa's attention to the necklace and the missing gem if it weren't somehow used in the plot?
The only reason would be to get her to trust and remember the fool (she didn't when he approached her). But in that case, it doesn't matter if there was poison in the necklace or not. Little finger was behind it either way
I don't think there was ever any risk in giving her the necklace btw
Remember that time he pushed a kid out of a window hoping to kill him?
But if it WASN'T some sort of crystallized poison, it doesn't make sense to me, why Oleena Tyrell would use slight of hand to steal a fake glass jewel.
And next week's preview
Littlefinger tells Sansa referring to someone "He wasn't involved in Joffery's death but you were"
So my theory that Olenna stole the gem because she's a clepto is still alive!

Gah, love new Daario so much more.
Nothing was ever confirmed about the necklace being used to poison Joffrey. However unless giving Sansa the necklace was just to gain her trust it doesn't make much sense for her to have it if it didn't contain anything. Given Olenna playing with it and then her seeming pretty pleased with the result of Joffrey dying I think it's the odds-on favorite.
Also, about the Onion Knight writing to the Iron Bank...is that to ask them to fund Stannis or to send troops to support him and take back what they're owed?
