Yeah my friend's immediate comment was "Look he's fake now!"

Remembering him from Torchwood I fully expected him to not be dead, untill I remembered this is GoT and everyone dies all the time.

Are you kidding? The reveal about Lysa and Littlefinger was the biggest thing so far this season in my opinion. Because now we know the things that happened in season 1 between the Starks and Lannisters were all because of Littlefinger's plan (even if not everything neccessarily happened in the way he expected). This is pretty big...
Yeah, that revelation was a game-changer. You knew that Littlefinger had his fingers in a lot of different pies, but now you see that almost all the cogs have been moving at his command. After this season, I want to go back and watch to see the implications of this throughout the show, but at this point it's a mind-fuck. It's almost super-human to think he was planning for everything that's been coming.
I think his plan was to muck things up and ride the wave, rather than benefit from a carefully orchestrated plan.

I saw the Martin interview (he was talking about the show, not the novels!!) where he was speaking of Littlefinger, and he said that essentially he creates chaos because in chaos he sees opportunity for advancement.
That's a very weird twist, because it means Arryn dying had nothing to do with him discovering that Cercei and Jaime were lovers. So would it be some kind of coincidence that it happened at the same time? That's just a bit weird.

Littlefinger knew what Arryn was up to, that he was asking questions and stuff. Remember he was the one that told Ned about this in the first place. He guided Ned's search for the clues with the Blacksmith's apprentice that was Robert's bastard..

Jorah won a duel against a Dothraki with armor
Two incidents out of every single battle where people regularly get stabbed in the chest and get their limbs cut off as if cutting through paper
I wonder what Littlefinger has in mind with Sansa now. I would have thought that he was going to marry her instead of Lysa. If he kills Lysa now, he wouldn't get any perks from House Tully anymore. I doubt that LF suddenly fell in love with Lysa and ditched Sansa.
btw, where is the Head of House Tully right now (Edi)? Is he dead? Also, where is sexy Roslin?
sure that dragons will be almost impossible te defeat during battle, but we haven't seen dany actually ride them yet, or fight with them. It's strongly implied that she can't control them

That is not really comparable. That whole Jorah scene was about the advantages of armor, they made a point of that there. Some other scenes were just generic fighting scenes where someone gets cut down, but they were not supposed to show how weak armor is. People that dont care about this issue wont even notice, I for one didnt. And you also had a scene with Jorah explaining the value of armor to a Dothraki and how their curved sword sucks against it, in contrast to his broad sword.

Tyrell said that Oberyn (or Dorne people) has experience to fight against dragons. They were actually the only one who stood against dragons.

You know nothing, Jon Snow ,-)
The way I saw it they were trying a more stealthy approach and a mutineer sounded the alarm. At that point you may as well form up and charge the camp as a group.
If so, they did a pretty terrible job and were still apparently all coming from the direction of the main entrance ,-)

Dude Ros is dead. Remember when Joffrey crossbowed her to death while she was tied to the bed? Unless I'm mixing up characters here ofc.

Roslin Tully from House Frey, Red wedding was her wedding
... So Jon Snow's recent BFF who was an obvious traitor... who was he and what was his motive for kidnapping Bran? Was sorta surprised his time on the show was so short.
To me, he looked like a wildling (almost like that warg guy that Jon killed); he just has that gaunt look on him. He didn't seem to have good upkeep on his hygiene which makes me think he can't be some Lannister or other royal family.
If he is a wilding though, i'm not sure what he purpose for stealing Bran was.

Mallador Locke from Boltons.
He was the one who cut Jaime's hand. He was planning to bring Bran to Bolton's i believe.
