Where's the other two guys anyway? Did he volunteer to the Lannisters or just steal someone's armor and start hanging around with them?

    I am immensely happy that HBO cast Dolorous Edd
    Is that who that one guy is, meh, hasn't done much.

    I liked the episode very much, the only real criticism is the rather rushed scenes at the beginning, it felt like Renly's death was a bit of an afterthought. Two nitpicks though and both to do with guards: where are Catelyn's guards gone - she had them previously; and surely Tyrion would wander through the streets of an increasingly unsafe King's Landing with more than just Bronn (as awesome as he is!)?
    No money for guards, it's all going towards prostitutes.

    I mean the Iron Islanders don't even consider Theon to be one of them, and we're supposed to be led to believe that Daenyrs actually believes the people of Westeros would welcome her?
    Dany doesn't, which is why she's trying to raise an army. Mormont is trying to convince her otherwise, though his intentions seem a bit cloudy to me.. The people of Westeros might support her claim, if she can take power by shortening the war, having dragons on side might make that possible.

    Being vicious criminals they fit in with Ser Gredors men so they were hired. Rorge and Biter joined him to.

    Dolorous Edd is more of a comic relief that is just sort of around. He doesn't do a whole lot directly being a secondary character.

    Yes. She's still somewhat young and naive and has only heard her family's side of the story from her brother. Who, despite tormenting her, was still her brother who she respected for much of her life, and her only connection with Westeros until Jorah Mormont. She hasn't heard much of the Mad King aspect that saw her House nearly destroyed. So right now she's under the misguided belief that she would be welcomed by many if she returned. Mormont tells a more balanced side of the story, but doesn't want to alienate himself from her by giving her the cold hard truth that her father was a insane monster who was responsible for the war that got the Targaryen's removed from power.

    I thought I was the only one. The Qwarth chapters were quite entertaining though.

    It has just occurred to me that there's a certain irony the Quartheen dresses from the book aren't included in the show as it will be too much gratuitous nudity.

    Doubtful for the gratuitous nudity. It'd just be distracting.

    It's the fashion in other eastern cities as well? It's a bit strange considering many women in the dothraki wedding were topless...

    Why is everyone worried about Martin killing off characters? I'm half way through the first book of Storm of Swords and NO ONE is dying!
    Everyone is so comfy cozy that I just want to throw the book to the garbage and yell out to the heavens:
    "WHY!?!!!!"

    This.
    WARNING MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR SOS
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Was just staggered with how much action actually went down in the second half of the book, struggled to keep up. The duel between the Viper and the Mountain is the shining piece during all the crazy stuff happening, Martin was especially cruel in that scene.

    Analysis should not be diverted by reflections upon the zeal with which the victors at the end of the Second World War punished the defeated for war crimes. The victors were animated by the ideals of the Atlantic Charter and of the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was about to peep over the eastern horizon. But first, they wanted a little hanging.

    Yeah, it's weird. A lot of the scenes that aren't in the books seem to have a lot of gratuitous nudity, but scenes where the books had tits and stuff don't in the series.

    In the last episode, the way Doreah and Dany looked at each other makes me sure they're gonna get it on soon.

    Tyrion is definately the best part of this season, together with the Stannis scenes. Peter Dinklage is the best actor in the series, in my opinion.

    I can understand why they wouldn't include it in the series - boobs out everywhere would be a distraction and probably would be received rather poorly, but remains amusing none the less.


    Heh, I'm guessing that scene Doreah and Dany had last season made a few writers awfully hot under the collar. Although it's hardly the first time Roxanne McKee has done that sort of thing...
