I think they're going to, and gonna catch GRRM sooner than we all think.
Couldn't agree more. I don't think I'm ready for the coming weeks.

If there was one negative to that final scene, it's the the slave master didn't quite nail the "shit my pants" moment.

Pretty good episode. Funny how they've managed to do a better job at Sam than Jon. The characters that they do a good job with they continue to do a good job with (Theon and Jaime), the others... a mixed bag. Preview Spoilers
The idea of marrying Loras to Sansa made me laugh. ASOS
Judging by next week, Tormund is going to continue to be shitty. But so is the rest of Jon's storyline so why not?

I had wondered why they didn't have him join the Kingsguard.

Each episode keeps getting better and better. The Unsullied theme is awesome.
I was never a fan of (ASOS and beyond!)

Jon's storyline for the first half of ASOS. Too much "am I in too deep?" stuff.
They can do without Loras joining the Kingsguard. I don't think it was that integral... He can still storm Dragonstone like a dumbass with being one.

Wow that was beyond what I wanted that scene to be with the Unsullied trade off.

Awesome ep.

They're probably like, "Aww yeah, Daenerys is finally going to take back her throne and tear shit up." Too bad she's going to be dicking around in Meereen for like four seasons.

I really hate the idea of marrying Loras to Sansa. The whole irony of her character is that she's always paired with people who are the reversal of her preconceptions of royalty and knighthood (Joffrey, Sandor). Loras is pretty much her dream guy. Oh well.
I'm reading the book thread, and yes, that is exactly what some of them think. GRRM is a trollllllll.
Yeah, but the way it unfolded seemed too random and chaotic without that info.
I was thinking the same shit... [all books spoilers, up to ADWD]
man I REALLY FUCKING HATED THAT MEEREEN PLOT. Hope D&D condense it and improve it.

Great episode - this season continues firing on all cylinders.
Cannot wait for next week's episode. I actually thought Beric and The Hound were going to throw down this episode. Ah well, 7 day wait.

instead they'll get to see asos
the red wedding which will catch them even more off-guard

For the first time in this series history, I have to believe that D&D will fix it.

They'll have to fix it, especially if they intend for AFFC/ADWD to last two seasons. Although given how they handled Qarth, I'm not holding out hope.
Also, I think that's the second episode this season with no nudity. Good for them on showing some restraint there.

They've considerably toned down sex scenes in general since the 1st season.

They're not going to be able to fix it without pulling material from the unpublished books.
It's gonna suck, folks.

Fantastic episode. The mutiny and sack of Astapor were perfect, I really liked Jaime getting knocked down a few pegs, the show's version of the Queen of Thorns surpasses the book, and I even like the show's handling of Theon this season. I'd say it's tied with Blackwater right now as the best episode of the series.
It's pretty much how I imagined it would play out.

I'd bet Littlefinger will persuade Loras to join the Kingsguard now so he doesn't have to marry.

Regarding this whole lack of nudity thing, this better not effect anything having to do with

Ha, that'd be pretty cool. Hopefully they do that.
Maybe they're saving up for that. ASOS

Oh its soo good! Very hard to not say anything.
absolutely.
PERFECT CASTING. That scene with the House Mottos was great, and then the whole conversation with Varys showed how great of a player she is.
And, of course, Margaery seemed to learned from the best. She totally knows how to play the Game.
Episode 5 preview for those who missed it.

Missandei (sp?) saying the slave master was saying "They are untested. There are a lot of cities on the wastes that you can test them with" As a hint that she's not about to march to kings landing and is in fact going to march along the slave cities and take them

I doubt very many people caught that. And even if they did, they still won't realize that Dany is going to be going all John Brown on Slavers' Bay for the foreseeable future.

The show also fails to establish that often just how big the armies in Westeros are. 8000 unmounted troops aren't that much in the grand scheme of things.

At the very least she needs to spend some time getting ships. 8000 men don't just sail an ocean without some prep-time.

I was thrilled when I heard they'd cast her as Olenna, and she has not disappointed. Emma Peel getting shit done.
Definitely. I saw it too.
Pretty sure its either Ollo Lophand or Lark the Sisterman.

Compared to others I think I'm a little lower on this episode than most. They certainly nailed the Dany scene, but I thought some of the other scenes were kind of weird. I also thought there was some strange directing/camera cuts in parts especially when Jaime was being beaten by Locke. And while this season has been way ahead of the others in terms of visuals, aside from the Dany scene I thought things didn't look very good in general tonight. But overall a good episode though not my favorite of the season by any stretch.
EDIT: Oh, and while I had no problem with Pod's scene last week, I really did not like the rehash of it this week at all.
