Hmm.. I'm not sure I get that from her. I feel like her function is to highlight honor and promises. Robb's obviously going to be stricken by her and want her quite a bit, but he'll be torn and told he needs to hold up his end of the deal.

I hate these posts. You smug bastard.
haha I didn't mean it in a smug way. I'm being serious, it's fun and enjoyable to see other people's take on what direction storylines will go based on what they are seeing on the show.

Yeah! That exchange with King Robb was indeed very strange, especially the way she exited the screen, clenching her letter and hiding it, looking all suspicious and nervous, as if she realized Robb is on to her.
I think that was the intension of the storytellers and the director. To create that tension for us the audience, by being vague enough to not tell us anything about her true intension. "Well...! Is she a spy or not? Guess youll have to wait and find out...muwahaha!"
One of the hill people was with him when he imprisoned the Maester, I believe
Same Game time, same Game channel!

I do get a somewhat uneasy vibe from her honestly. I mean, she hasn't done anything to truly make me feel like she'll betray the Starks outright. But there's a little something about her, she's mysterious.
It did seem like they were pointing us in that direction.

Hey! She is pretty though, I can see why Robb digs that.racist

Anyone else notice how female-sentric this episode was?
or maybe "relationship-centric?"
It was a great episode, and most scenes just consisted of male and female exchanging dialogue or/and spooning.
and it was mostly establishing good chemistry amongst (opposing) characters.
for example, I'm liking the growing trust between Bran Stark and Osha
The growing "bond" between Tywin and Arya
The faux, and forced relationship between Jon Snow and the new red head (Ygritte)
The mysterious exchanges between Robb and Talisa.
Bird vs Bird Catcher relationship between "The Hound" and Sansa
But yeah it was a very well made episode that covered so much ground with character development without feeling forced or out of pace.
I'm kinda confused about the scene where they are all watching Myrcella Baratheon being shipped away? !?
I thought Tyrion did that already long time ago, behind Cersei's back, hence why she was flipping the tables (literally) and being pissed off at him?
If she didn't want that for her daughter, why did she just stand there and watch (as a Queen) and threatened the Imp with his lover?

Tyrion is the Hand of the King, so he has more power over Cersei (who is just the queen regent). I think. And I imagine they can't just go change their mind and take back their offer to Dorne.

It would be great if the Hound was the one who ended up killing Joffrey
I can't read the Hound at all. I don't understand what his motivations are for all the crazy shit he does.

Yeah, I'd assume that once the offer is made and accepted, to renege it would turn Dorne from a previously neutral party to an adversary. So the choice is between Dorne on their side or Dorne with Stannis or Robb Stark.
The way things are going there is no way the Lannisters can afford to not go through with it. She's mad at Tyrion for the offer but at this point she knows they have to follow through.

You know, I'm almost getting this vibe from him, and I think I could see that happening. He had quite a look at one point in this episode toward Joffrey (when he called him Dog), and he seems to have taken quite a liking to Sansa.

I totally get a vibe from your post that can be covered by this video:

Anyone want to speculate on who Arya names next/last?
I think there is a very good chance she names Littlefinger

don't you even joke about that ;_;
but now that you mention it
i can see it happening
oh god no
Maggie Smith better be next.
This is becoming quite the Downton Abbey reunion:

Nah, Littlefinger would slime out of it somehow. You just know it.

Have you tried pulling it out and in again?

Speculation: rich black guy in Qarth had his own men / the Dothraki killed, abducted the dragons, is planning to frame whoever owns that tower for the crime, forcing Dany to marry him and use his ships (his talk about doing bad things in pursuit of good outcomes coming just before we see his men dead made me suspicious)
The Night's Watch has been the weakest stuff since the beginning of the show (S1) if you ask me. Nothing but build-up so far this season and now we get this? A cliche guy spares a girl, which was almost obvious when she was surprisingly pretty, and even more obvious when Jon went all "I'll kill her myself!" - "Aight, see ya later mate.". I hope the wildlings just kill him and his posse, then ship Jon's head to his chubby comic-relief friend(I can't believe that dude is really in this show) and we never have to see more of the north if this is what we're getting. The rest of the show is quite stellar so the guys beyond the wall really need to step up their game.

Chaplin's granddaughter is so adorable.
It sounds dumb.. but I kinda see that as.. how it should be
No one else in westeros takes them seriously, or thinks they really have that great a purpos
I was actually surprised that he didn't just outright tell her that he was responsible for the attack because, come on:
"I've done many thing, Khaleesi, that a righteous man would condemn. And here I am, with no regrets."
*opens door* everyone inside is dead
I totally expected him to turn around with a shit eating grin on his face. The timing was just too perfect

speaking of which, we had no Stanis in this episode
For a second I thought that was some sort of illusion, showing her the things he had done. Idk, I'm not that familiar with the lore, so I don't know if he could pull that off.

This was by far the highlight of the episode for me. Even as King Joffery can't avoid the bitch slaps
Yeah and the whole time she was serving wine for the second time, when she spilled, Littlefinger kept staring at her while he was talking with Tywinn. I'd say he knows.

well, so far the show has not really got up in high gear, there is still so much new stuff arriving all the time, new characters, new cities etc. I am feeling lost sometimes when watchin g this show.
I do hope that the show kicks it up a gear in progressing the story and starts delivering us some action.

Yeah, what would be his gain if he had stood up right there, pointed his finger at her and shouted "that's the Stark daughter!"?
Now he can either tell the Tywinn later to get benefit x or play that card to someone else.
I felt like that last scene was to show that he wasn't sure. She turns her body away and he's trying to extend out with his head to look around and see her but then Tywin says something that would require his response.
