I dunno, just seemed wierd how they tried to work that out. Overall great episode. I love the conflicting interactions between Arya/Tywin, Jon/Ygritte, Cat/Jaime. Actor playign Jaime is amazing, and the actress as Ygritte is special too lol. Dany's scene overall this entire season to me has been boring, but I expected that until she gets out of Quarth/ dragon's have matured. And I thought this seasons 10 episodes, yet the preview for episode 8 says otherwise  | ||

None of the characters are simple, all of them have a different side to them. | ||

She's not just an evil woman, she's an evil woman because that's what she thinks is best for her son. I don't think she said she had regrets, just misgivings. She'd do it all again. Or perhaps she is just an evil woman, but she uses her son to justify her behavior to others. When she was talking to Sansa, I definitely got the feeling that she was trying to convince herself of what she was saying as much as she was trying to convince Sansa. | ||

Rather felt like her trying to be manipulative because that's what I thought about her earlier a lot in season 1 and in season 2 so far. | ||

He's pretty much just a smarter version of Joffery, who pretends to be good. And he doesn't enjoy torturing people for lulz either. He seems like he simply doesn't give a fuck about anyone else. He really only cares about himself and how he's going to get wherever he wants to go. I can't put my finger on why, but I think he's an awesome character. edit: I mean Jamie btw. I also like Theon, if only because he's a pretty complex character, torn between trying not to be completely evil, and gaining respect from his crew. | ||

On a more serious note : Robb said to that Volantis girl that they were going to surrender, who is surrendering to whom? Did I miss something? | ||

Who ever hold the Crag is surrendering to Robb. They don't talk a lot about the minor military stuff but basically Robb is pushing farther west in to Lannister territory. | ||

Had a lot more of those moments with just two characters talking to each other I loved so much from the first season. Tywin and Arya, Tyrion and Cersei...Tyrions reaction to Cersei crying was just brilliant. And that warlock, what a badass scene, frigging hell. Also, pretty sure it wasnt Bran and Rikkon at the end, but still pretty ruthless from Theon. | ||

If she were to go, the whole dragon plot will actually become interesting. Will the dragons roam freely without their mother? If not, who will control them? Yes, she must go. The other characters in Qarth would suddenly also become interesting. But without her, doesn't that plotline fall? Who else will be the focus characters? Jorah and XXD? | ||

I love the look of the Dothraki. Throughout that entire scene he's like "NOPENOPENOPE. WTF IS THIS?" | ||

Very little happened until the end, like the council being killed and jon getting surrounded. Arya-Tywin scene wasn't as good as either of the previous Arya-Tywin scenes to me, particularly (but not only) because it loses appeal the more it occurs. | ||
