This episode was great. Predictions for next episode:
1. Sam becomes Sam the Slayer
2. Tyrion and Sansa marriage
3. Arya gets abducted by the Hound
4. Dany marches on Yunkai
I am kinda curious how they are getting themselves out of the Loras-Cersei thing. This episode they really left no wiggle room regarding having a Willas squirreled away back hom in Highgarden. And while they left it somewhat ambiguous my interpretation of the scen was that the Queen of Thorns agreed to the marriage. Really strange.
I thought the woman breaking the quill was pretty clear, Tywin was going to sign Loras over to the Kingsguard with that order and the woman snapped the quill after complimenting Tywin on how he lives up to his reputation as a brilliant political player. I like how it represented an effective concession by the Queen of Thorns, classy and subtle at the same time.

Man, I still get chills from Petyr's speech.

I have a hard time taking him seriously, every time he talks I cant help but notice how he speaks like Shawn Michaels.
Man Joffrey is a sick fuck though.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Melisandre's shock and interest in the revival of Lord Beric is kind of a clue as to her reviving Jon at Castle Black?

Thought it was another fantastic episode. Wish they hadn't removed the Tyrell brothers, but aside from that, was a blast to watch

Like, if you think about it, Varys gives his entire being to keeping the Realm in check with the Throne; he wants the Throne to be satisfied, he's just another person kissing the feet of the King (albeit one of the smarter ones).

That dude is in for a huge surprise.

One thing I don't get is what is he even going to ask of Frey? He has Frey's entire army, save for the 400 men Frey left for himself. Wasn't it implied that Frey's men may have left Robb's forces the day he married that foreigner girl? Just by common sense you can assume they did, but the show did a fairly poor job of showing it. Infact, if you really think about there is no reason whatsoever for Robb to go to the Freys if he wants to attack Castlely Rock, the Freys aren't a military power house and the men they gave him were hardly a balance changer, what made them so important was the position of their castle which was needed to access the south. Since Robb is planning to attack west he doesn't really need them. In other words, the show writers dun goofed. It's not enough to tip the balance in the war as a whole no, but it's enough to take casterly rock, or at least that's what he implied in the last episode. Exactly how he is going to convince Frey, and what he's planning to do after claiming casterly rock isn't revealed, but it seemed like he had a plan. In other words we were left with a cliff hanger. I think he will end up marrying the girl he was supposed to marry when he asked the Freys permission to pass the bridge. There's nothing besides that I presume. And to be honest from what we saw from them during Season 1 I would say they couldn't care less about Casterly Rock. No one who wants anything at all would turn down Casterly Rock if offered it, Casterly Rock is the key to the greatest source of wealth in Westeros. There's a reason the Lannister's are so absurdly rich, they own the gold mines of Casterly Rock. At this point, without Karstark's army I don't even think they could take Casterly Rock. Like I said before, if the Freys are not happy with Robb it will be easier for them to betray Robb and sell him to the Lannister than joining him again. At least in a logical way of seeing it. What other options would the Freys have? It's really hard to see a solution to it because Robb could also "easily" take The Twins with his army but lose even more man (considering of course that Walder Frey's army is actually that small). Look at this asshat for example. This guy tries to claim that he believes Robbs army could easily take the twins at the same time as he think Freys could easily betray Robb ( and sell him to the Lannisters, details makes it extra obvious) It's one thing guessing that Freys would want revenge against Robb. Another to "guess" that they can do it "easily" and how they will do it when Robb is the king and has a big ass army Especially when how they can do it isn't possible because there is a missing ingredient. Bolton. But the speculators who "guess" the Freys will betray Robb but doesn't have the slightest theory on how their smaller army would successfully get away with it without getting obliterated by a vengefull larger army.
Nothing wrong with compiling a wall of shame of posters like this I suppose. Want to start? Just collect the links to posts like this one. Mods can still decide what to do with it during / after the season. In any case it would help to keep track of potential vanity spoilers, it's easy to get lost in the 200 posts / day after each episode.

After the fight with the hound, the BWB goes off to some woods where a little old lady (looks a lot like the children of the forest are described as looking like) comes up and asks for a song and some wine for her "dreams". Says some stuff about the dead kings and kings that are about to die (Renly, Balon). Says something about Cat Tully being killed and resurrected.

I remember when I read the book I thought that the woodwitch was actually Maggy the Frog. Apparently however there is nothing that suggests it ?
|
Most of the people at the westeros forums seem to think that it's not her, but rather that the Ghost of High Heart (the woods witch) is actually one of the Children of the Forest.
Interestingly, it appears she may be the one who made the "prince that was promised" prophecy.

Yes, she is supposed to been a friend of Raegar or something. Also in later Bran chapters I think she is the one talking to Bran when he arrives at the cave in the North. The female child of the forest he talks to says she traveled a lot but now returned.

Queen of Thornes has Joffrey poisoned at the wedding to avoid the wedding of Margaery (Margaery also having confirmed by now that he is indeed a sadist, murderer and pervert). Cersei is then the Queen Regent because Tywin also dies and has the power to send Loras to the Kingsguard so she doesn't have to marry him.
That's one way to solve it, but that would still leave the Tyrells fucked over without an heir.

I dont think they would change the Joffrey murder that much. It will still be Littlefinger. Especially after tthey just established him as the super manipulative villain that wants to create chaos.

Will be fun to see people re-live my own feelings of "OH GOD YES FUCKING DIE!" when Joffrey bites it.

Well Queen of Thorns was one of those involved in the poisoning originally, so it wouldn't be that big of a change. Maybe Littlefinger takes a lesser role, but still part of it.

Man I feel like anti-spoilering the thread...
"You guys are gonna love what happens once Robb gets to Casterly Rock"
Or something like that
I hate those asshat clowns that love making these "correct predictions" and even stating how "obvious" they were... ffs

I can't read that thread too many trolls, there is a reason I refrain from posting anything, it's cause I can't tell what I'm supposed to know and what 'm not supposed to know based on whats happened in show so far, it kind of blends together with events in my head from the books.
. I don't know why people are trolling the thread, but it's dumb, I really hope that people get bored of it or that it has minimal impact on others enjoyment of the show.

I stopped following the other thread once I read the books, shit ain't fair.
