Like a fiddle, I love how they're portraying Maergerys relationship with Joffrey

No it isn't.
Edit: doesn't happen that is.

Not entirely, but it is asos
his last fight
ASOS/episode name spoiler
there's an episode called the bear at the maiden fair.. probably safe to assume that's when it happens
that was goooooood.
Loved Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna. Perfect casting.
The introduction of the Reeds was well done, too. Jojen is also well cast, he has that "SRS BUSINESS ALL THE TIME" vibe.
Joffrey's a sick fuck but we all know that. Margaery being clever, she knew how to handle him and got the most out of the situation.

She is definitely the weakest link on here. Otherwise the casting on the show has been great.
Pretty good episode all in all, could have used some Bear and the Maiden Fair, but I'll live.
They packed a lot in to an hour. The Reed introduction, the Brotherhood, Theon's situation, Sansa and the Tyrell's,etc. I think they did a good job with most of it. The scenes with Sansa and the Tyrell's stood out to me as the best of the night due to how well Olenna was portrayed.
She really can't, unfortunately =/

Re: Shae (later SoS spolier)
Overall I was underwhelmed by this episode. Anything with the Tyrells was good. The scene with the Queen of Thorns was the highlight of the episode. Meera is hot. I don't know, just wasn't feeling it. I liked Episode 1 a lot more.
Are they really going to set up her betrayal as her being jealous because Tyrion married Sansa? Cause that would be stupid.

Olenna could not have been more perfectly cast...totally spot-on. The Theon scenes were...somewhat unexpected, but I suppose they couldn't just have him disappear randomly for 2 or more seasons, so a necessary change.
Also, Bran's been drinking his milk, kid looks to have aged 3 years in 1.

And the Brotherhood.
funnily enough, I liked this one more. Different strokes and all.

That's what it felt like to me, but we'll see.
And Bran seems to have aged three years since last season.
And Jaime's joke about Renly and the cock throne was pretty good.
Yeah, I felt this one was better than the premiere.
Mediocre episode. Also one of the first episodes where the deviations from the book were really jarring to me, since there were so many of them.
Best parts of the episode were probably Bran's and Arya's scenes. And man, Bran really has grown up a lot, it's kind of crazy. His voice is noticeably deeper. Worst were Tyrion's, mainly due to the horrible actress playing Shae.
And wow, they're really driving home the Renly=gay thing in this show. It was hardly mentioned in the book, at least not until later on.

This episode felt totally different from any in the series so far. I can't explain why. Something felt...so otherwordly about it all.
Jaime's crack about the throne Renly would have gone in for had me rolling. Was that lifted from the text?
Loved all the introductions, but fear widespread confusion amongst non-book readers.
• Queen of Thorns + the Tyrell contingent
• Thoros, Anguy + the Brotherhood Without Banners
• Some new House Bolton dudes finding Jaime/Brienne*
• Theon's torturers
• Jojen and Meera Reed
It's a lot to take in, plus, the focus this week was mostly on all the stories/characters not in the premiere and not seen since last year.

Extra thought: Damn, the actors playing Bran/Rickon grew up like woah.

Weren't Jaime/Brienne supposed to be discovered by the Bloody Mummers and Vargo Hoat, to who Jaime loses his hand? I'm confused. Read SOS last year.

There's no way in hell they're waiting until then. During the preview [ASoS]
the line about having to keep Jaime alive but nothing about Brienne made it seem like Jaime will lose his hand right after that.

I enjoyed that episode a lot.
- Queen of Thorns was great. Probably the highlight of the evening.
- I actually liked Joff and Margery's crossbow scene together.
- I NEED MORE of Theon's scenes. Glad we got a look at ADWD
- Bran and Arya's stories were exactly what I expected - which is good.
...and yes, Shae is terrible.

Reek, who is being portrayed by Ramsay. Can't wait to see the twisted shit that goes down at the Dreadfort
...and yes, Shae is terrible.

Sooooo psyched to see SPOILERS ALL
Been waiting a while for this one.
Iwan Rheon/Ramsay on screen.
-Yes, but [ASOS-speculation?]
I think they're replacing Hoat and the Bloody Mummers with some guys in service to House Bolton, simplifying that plot point a bit. Shame, I'm gonna miss Vargo's LISP.
Maybe it was that last swordfight between Brienne and Jamie that left a bad taste in my mouth. That was THE swordfight in the book. In the show it was sooooo slooooow. Let's sloooowly swing our swords at each other. And then Brienne beat him so easily. Disappointmenton.
Edit:
No, it was fucking awesome in the book! So sad.

You've just met the show's version of them, definitely a downgrade.
Yeah, but it was more evenly matched, and Brienne had the advantage with Jaime being manacled and out of shape from being imprisoned for a year. But it was still implied that in a real fight between the two, Jaime probably would have won.

Cannot wait. So good.
Yeah they don't show the preview here in Canada =(

I hope you're right.. I really like the turn his character takes once the arm is gone

Tyrion's scenario feels like its dragging but I didn't really care for his King's Landing stuff due to Shae even in the books. Need more Varys and Littlefinger.

That is such a bummer. That's one change I am 100% against. Loved the BM in the books.
Haven't seen the episode yet, but I fear this, too.
My brothers, who haven't read the books, can only remember two names off the top of their head: Jon Snow and Daenerys.

Same. I think this is what everyone is most excited for.

There's really not much for Tyrion to do this season though. Until Joffrey's wedding, he really doesn't do much other than mope around, and marry Sansa

No one's calling for my head, so I think I caught it in time.
I know, that's why I watched it on YouTube.
Preview for next week.

I agree, with that said I just wish they would cut back the scenes with him due to this

In a show of perfect casting, Jaimie is really the most perfect. God, he's the best.
