It seems like the perfect time for Cersei to know. If she knows about Shae before the death of Joffrey and pulls her into her spy network, she can therefore use it to establish a case quickly against Tyrion. She'll find out about Shae, Joff will die, and then Shae will turn on Tyrion.
I think they're referring to the pregnancy scare she had. I remember her using moon tea a lot, but I'm not sure if that was in AFfC or ASoS.
The Thronecast hosts are annoying. They have a nice world map though. And it's just about worth sitting through for the actors and the previews.
Some really, really good scenes in the opener though (and they managed the exposition without getting anyone nude!). Loads of snippy comments and great character moments too -- everyone seemed quite mean tonight and I loved it. Loved Oberyn/Ellaria, Jaime's scenes, Aemon and Jon at the wall, and of course Arya and the Hound.
I don't know if my workmates who watch it will have been mad enough to stay up and watch it this morning, but kind of hoping I'll at least be able to chat with them on Tuesday.
Were the Thenn's cannibals before?

Pretty sure it was something about Bran being beyond the Wall.

Stupid for going there and saying anything, but for something that small I hope it's not a perma ban.
Just mentioned that Bran's story is interesting north of the wall I think.
Mods ain't messing around this season.

Oh man, two happy endings in a row. Show only people are going to be so confused...

The girl's ok but that guy is so annoying. Though he's a thousand times better than the guy he replaced which isn't saying much. Yea, that show is kinda crap and doesn't offer much for show viewers or book readers.The Thronecast hosts are annoying. The snippets of future scenes and the stuff with the actors is good, but the hosts, the hosts

I hope every person who gets banned for posting spoilers in the other thread are banned for the entire season.
Bit odd they didn't take the time to reintroduce Tommen. He hasn't been seen since season 2, and he's been recast, seeing as he'll be king by the end of next episode it'd be good to show him.
Maybe they didn't want to make Joff's imminent demise too obvious by focusing on his heir.

Oh, also, really enjoying Oberyn and Ellaria. Especially Oberyn is really really well-cast.
They can do it in the wedding much more naturally.

Heh, yeah. Its almost like HBO should make a miniseries about the exploits of a young Duncan or something.

It's almost like maybe they finally, specifically name dropped those characters for a reason!
(I hope that's the reason)
Count of Monte Sawed-Off

He was mentioned in season 1.
It's happening, been known for awhile. Also written by George

Preview for episode 2 is up in case anyone missed it.

Yeah, seems like something they'd leave for later, but really it happens around this time anyways, and Tyrion's trial + Trial by Combat will take some time as well.

Thanks. I was having trouble finding it tonight. HBO's tech is all screwed up this evening.
I can now. Couldn't all night.

I think the real question for next episode is:
Will we get to see Penny and Oppo? I've been wanting to see that ever since I read it.

No problem! I imagine it will only get worse with what's happening next episode :/
I believe they've confirmed that there will be "entertainment".

I thoroughly enjoyed that episode. In the book we really got a sense of how devastated the lands were from the war in Arya's chapters and now I'm super happy to see it finally get to the show.

Oh good. That's gonna be awesome.
Great episode. Loved Oberyn's intro. The conversation with Tyrion outside was so good. I didn't know the Inn scene would be this episode, so that was a nice surprise (though the Previously on GoT segment tipped me off I guess). Jaime and Tywin scene was great too. Drogon is getting big!
That's sooner than I expected.

All for the better. People were wising up to the "shit happens episode 9" thing they've had going on.

I love how they really seemed to up Joffrey's douche factor in the preview of the second episode. It will make his demise much more satisfying.

I forgot about that. Assuming their fases aren't behind armor, I wonder if it will end up being the same actress.

He did have an eagle on his shoulder, when they briefly showed him, right? Wonder if that's Orell as an eagle? If so, that might make him basically like Varamyr Sixskins from the books.

Someone was counting down the weeks to episode 9 in the non-book thread earlier.

In the preview, new Tommen can be seen at :20.

People are going to flip their shit next week. It will be the exact opposite of the Red Wedding, and I imagine we'll see tones of reaction videos recorded by book readers.
