You never know with this show. Man, what a cliffhanger lol.
Like the fact she isn't a commoner. She needs to work on her street slang.
Theon is truly lost. Burning some orphans just to prove how bad ass he is, is just ugh...
"Sometimes when I look at him, he looks like Jaime...
....in a fashion."
Tyrion - *silent ahh*
Atleast he is outwardly creepy to warn you. Xaro is completely untrustworthy.
Poort Tywin is losing it, for a moment there he thought Arya was trying to poison him when all the girl wanted to do was stab the back of his neck with a knife.
Very intrigued by his talk of Aegon changing the rules of battle and wanting to be remembered for hundreds of years like that.

I think he was trying to sow derision in the ranks against Cat and Robb for protecting the prisoner over the desires of the men for revenge. Robb has two big things going for him in this war. He's a good strategist and his men fight for him because they love him. If he succeeded in driving a wedge between them there, it may become a large problem for them later.

"call it tactics not strategy, but yes.."
/tyrion
har har
Thanks for that info as I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
Man, Quarth (sp?) isn't the magnificent city that we were lead to believe now is it?
Don't you mean it isn't "the greatest city that ever was or will be"?
Yeah definitely the orphans and not Bran and Rickon.
Her names skipping my mind but the Wildling mentioned "you haven't seen me climb" to Rickon. I imagine they're hidden somewhere up.
edit:
Seems like Theon's men might be thinking of revolting against him. The looks he got this episode were nuts.

I don't know, his right hand man seemed to look at him like he was doing it right. Those guys respect that kind of shit. The rest of the north, however...

no, in this case strategist was right too"call it tactics not strategy, but yes.."
/tyrion
strategy is the overall war, troops movement, logistics etc while tactics is the execution of an individual battle iirc
Rob is good at both

I don't even know if it's not them after last seasons finale. Seeing the two bodies really hit me in the fucking gut.

He looked kinda shocked himself when he saw the burned corpses.
I hope it is a realization of "what the hell am I doing?"

I think it was but he knows he can't go back now.
He really does have a heart of gold!

The sound effects are superb.
When Jaime did what he did to that squire... oh boy...

I personally find the Khaleesi story line the least interesting one.

And just when you thought Jamie got all soft... bam beats his cousin/greatest admirer to death just to escape.
That was twisted as fuck. After that long as conversation about how the squire looked up to Jaime, then all of a sudden he murders him. Weren't they considered family? What did he even gain from murdering him since he just got caught right afterwards.
I like the amount of time spent on Khaleesi story as is. It's disconnected from the main story, but I like her charctaer and the fact that from the time of her brother's death to now, she is portrayed as a naive kid that is slowly learning she's out of her depth of experience.
Her story has ramped up considerably off of this episode. I don't see how she'll have much choice but to marry the guy and they are going to be fighting for the throne too. Good stuff.
I was just thinking that if she figures out a way to kill creepy dude, she could just rule Qarth now.

Same here. My stomach turned when I saw those two children's burned bodies. I'm hoping it wasn't Bran and Rickon but reading people's posts here about the orphan children I'm thinking yes, there's a chance it's them.
Once more this show didn't disappoint. Those last couple of minutes, my heart was racing so fast. lol
Whole time I'm saying "no Cat, don't do it!" Then that ending with the charred bodies. Theon looked a bit remorseful (to me) as he turned around and looked at the bodies. It's too late now for him though. The scene with Tyrion and Cersei was a great one too. Cersei's frustration with the "monster" she created came across well. Tyrion's expressions were so good. He looked like he wanted to give his sister a hug at that moment.
I've really been enjoying the weekly conversations on the show between Arya and Tywin. Him being impressed with how knowledgeable she is. He even goes so far as to admit she reminds him of his own daughter. Going to be interesting to see what happens if he ever finds out who she really is.
Jon Snow is in a world of shit right now, damn! She's already gotten away from him twice but this second time he's really in trouble. She was trying hard to seduce him, I'll give her that.
Dany's plotline also took a turn for the weird. That undying priest(?) wiping out that spice trader and the rest of that council was brutal. For a moment I had a crazy thought that the eccentric woman who gave Jorah info about the dragons is the missing handmaiden Doreah. But that theory went out the door when I remembered Doreah was present at that party/gathering when Jorah first spoke with that mysterious woman.

It cements that he's a sociopath. Having no fear is not an admirable trait; bravery is action in spite of fear. Action without fear is terrifying to others. So is Jaime's callous disregard for the value of life.
He still ended up killing two kids. I'd hope he'd be shocked at himself even it wasn't kids he personally knew.

Tywin really is full of win
I wonder why he doesn't try to force arya to say who she really is but is just going along with her "I am the daughter of a stonemason" game, maybe he already knows she is a stark? idk
Jon Snow is a fucking idiot, that's all I can say about that whole plot

What have you done!?
He definitely knows more than he's letting on. I bet he knows she's still lying about her background, and I bet he knows she's royalty/nobility of some kind, but I wouldn't go as far to say that he knows she's a Stark.
He seems to appreciate smarts more than anything, so I bet that keeps him from digging too deep.
her story involves a wizard that can create doppelgaenger of himself, therefor you are wrong

Makes sense.
The main guy seems entertained or amused by what Theon is doing. Still, if shit were to hit the fan I don't put it past him and the rest of the guys to leave Theon alone when his reckoning comes.
Yeah, that's really the whole Beyond the Wall explained in one sentence. None of this would happen if he wasn't an incompetent idiot.
Sure, his mates weren't much better leaving him alone to execute the girl, what was the point of that? Surely it won't take fucking hours to chop her head off and continue, and it's not like them moving through the area has required any preparations either - they've been talking smack while walking around so the group would gain nothing from walking ahead of him. And now that he's stuck with her he can't even tie her hands behind her back, let alone hold on to the rope?
Depending on the initial chase, I'd imagine he could still find his way back to the place where they found the wildlings in the first place and wait for his buddies to come back for him. Surely they would notice he's gone missing and would probably head back there to see what's up.
It's just a bit hard to appreciate any of the events there since they are all caused by Jon's stupidity.
