I've been hearing that theory a few other places, and it would be wonderful if it is.

This was how my coworker put two and two together which I was surprised, I thought the
flaying of the finger and the Bolton house Flayed man was way more of a giveaway

Wouldn't it take a much larger horn? The one he had looked like a party favor.

I can't believe Ros died like that; they built her up as a minor character only to kill her off screen. I was always very wary of Ros' inclusion, as I never really saw a point to any of her scenes (outside of the nudity), but I always maintained that it wouldn't be all for nothing provided they eventually did something with the character. Instead, Littlefinger immediately catches her spying for Varys and gives her to Joffrey to kill off screen. How unsatisfying. No payoff at all.
It would have been so much better if we had actually witnessed Joffrey shooting her full of arrows or something like that. Even better if (ASOS)

they gave her Marillion's storyline.

Also, can we all agree that Iwan Rheon is a young Crispin Glover? They just remind me of each other.

Nice.
Ros mirrors LF. Low born climbing the social ladder making names for themselves, Ros climbed too fast. Really nice parelell.
Littlefinger wasn't lowborn. He was born to a smaller noble house, but he's no commoner.
Come on, it wasn't that bad. My uncle used to do it all the time. Rabbits can be tasty.

I loved Loras' hurried, comically unconvincing delivery of "yes, me too, definitely" after Sansa told him she felt like she was in a dream.
she's playing a disney character. i keep waiting for aslan to pop out and hug her
probably more the writers' fault for butchering her story
I wish I could. People force me to watch it though. We're basically mocking every scene. I really hate the writing.
Maybe something like True Blood would be more your speed.
Sounds like a real fun group you got there.

Arya is a rip off of Brave. See, she was shooting a bow and arrow.
And Brave of course is a rip off of How to Train Your Dragon, because Brave totally ripped their Scottish accents for their Scottland based film off the film where the just gave Vikings Scottish accents because they were lazy.
And How to Train Your Dragon of course has Dragons.
Therefor, Arya is going to fly into Kings Landing on Danny's dragons and burn Jeoffrey to death.
A whole new world!
Fucking spoilers man. Christ.
Show Arya speaking out against the Hound, and going after him with a knife when she realizes the brotherhood intends to let him go, practicing her Archery, standing up to Mel... She's starting to get closer to her book counterpart.
And even when the show was giving her shit, the actress was doing a great job with it. The kid casting in this show is unbelievable.
It makes season two even harder to swallow, knowing how good the Harrenhaal stuff could have been.

except in the show she doesn't
the disney thing is just a joke. she's had way too easy of a ride in the show. harrenhal wasn't all that bad, and after that she just wanders around the countryside with her friends, where there doesn't seem to be a war going on. they give her too many cheesy lines, and when she needs to express real emotion, it doesn't seem genuine at all to me, her delivery just isn't convincing. i'm not going to give her a break because she's a cute teenage girl, i don't think she's doing the character justice, and the writers don't seem to be helping her in that

Yep, that's right!
I need to start reading the books again. There's a problem, however. I can't remember where I am in the books (I'm somewhere in the later half of book 3). Is there a good resource online I could use to find out? I could try to find out by reading, but it would probably take me a few hours before I got back to the proper chapter.
I like how Jaqen's theme plays during that scene.
All of Arya's dialogue in the last episode was really bad. She runs up to Melisandre and says something like "You're going to hurt him!" And then just stands there and pouts at her and does nothing, which was their setup for Mel to spout some foreshadowing shit. Arya would be trying to steal a sword and stab her or punch her or something. Weak stuff.
There are chapter by chapter synopses out there.
Be careful of spoilers, but it should be ok if you stick to the synopses pages.
I completely disagree with you. Arya Stark is a child who had her father taken away from her.
Without some serious montages and ridiculous over-development, they've managed to show her escaping one place and getting into all sorts of trouble, as a child would.
This show has had 26 episodes, and has managed to juggle dozens of different story threads from one end of the world to another.
If they had started with a different actress, they would have had to pick another Sansa, because the two make believable sisters. They're just girls. One's a princess, the other's a tomboy, and their lives have been and continue to be torn apart.
Arya's story is one of adventure, not war or torture.
Would that somehow have been an improvement on the scene?
I think her character could have been handled far better, but I think Maysie's performance has been great.
Thanks. Time to start reading!

Question. Reading the synopsis, it seems there's a bit of a divergence in this season from the books, regarding Harenhall:
.
Apparently the Brave Companions have Harrenhal in the books. What was their role early in book 3 and how did they obtain Harrenhal? My memory is quite hazy concerning those details
