Well that's probably the smartest decision he made, I couldn't have tolerated seeing him getting randomly cut in half by Sir Merin without any further reaction, fortunately that lad was here! May we think of him as a great hero of this War coz for him Tyrion is avenged (even if is maybe not dead, vengeance is vengeance). | ||

Well considering the amount of people in Kings Landing that want to see him dead/gone/injured getting a servent he can trust was probably pretty high on the list of things to get. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I didn't get why they didn't have more wildfire barrels. That warehouse the old alchemist showed Tyrion was full of that shit. That small boat wouldn't hold enough of it to completely deplete the reserves. I expected them to hurl the barrels with catapults toward the fleet and soldiers, but was disappointed to see that didn't happen. If it wasn't for Tyrion and Tywin, the rest of the episodes so far would have been unwatchable for me. I hope this episode means things will pick up the pace now and we'll watch quality episodes. | ||

And seeing what happens to Stannis of course. I can only assume he will be getting a "red smile" from none other than our favorite king. | ||

That dosent mean you cant like the character he just not a good guy. Don't forget he swore a vow to protect his king, then murdered him in cold blood, hence why everyone in the show despises him except for his family. | ||

Except for Tyrion, but since he´s a born Lannister he stands for his family name and defends them nontheless. So I don´t like him for that^^ You know, in the end I just want the "good" guys to win. Roob and Daenarys or Stannis do not look like killing as many civilians/being as ruthless as the Lannisters are. The reason a lot of people (me included) like the Lannisters is because they're far more interesting characters than the "good guys". Tywin is a badass and his scenes with Arya were amazing. Jaime, apart from fucking his sister, is a pretty awesome character; intelligent like Tyrion, aware of the game but not wanting to play it, and is a boss at swordfighting. Cersei was spectacular this episode, really gave a lot of insight into how she's not just 100% bitch, and the shit that comes with having a position of power. Tyrion needs no explanation. Meanwhile (at least so far) the Starks are really one-dimensional. Jon is just standard "virtuous hero" trope, moping around and refusing to do anything badass (which he easily could because his sword is the shit and he has a dire wolf pet)... Robb is basically the same... Catelyn is a fuck-up and is responsible for a lot of shit going wrong... | ||

Remember i think bronns qoute when he saw the wildfire. people manning the catapults get shot at. panic and you have barrels of wildfire going off inside the city doing the job Stannis didnt. The very reason they used a fireship is because this way there was no risk to the city while the result was pretty much the same | ||

Even the most competent one, Robb, is about to fuck things up by breaking an alliance with a guy who controls his only route to his home base because some random trolop told him a story about how she wanted to be a doctor. Its disgusting. The only redeeming characters the Starks have are Ariya and Sansa, which is sad when the best face your family can show is a pre teen and a 13 year old.

Butt he also swore a vow to defend the innocents. Aerys was a sociopath.. "He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours: Burn them all." | ||

Tyrion and Tywin are the only characters I actually sympathise with and really enjoy watching. Some of the storylines not involving them are class, but the characters themselves do not appeal to me. They are either a) too stupid, b) too deviant, or c) not believable. Honourable mention should I guess go to Bronn and the hound but they wouldn't be able to make the show 'good' in the absence of Tyrion or Tywin. If either of them dies then there better be a new character coming to take the reigns. Because I seriously can't stand half of the characters there. I enjoy the things that happen to them but can't stand them. Dany is the worst, only reason I don't fast forward through her is the dragons and the cool scenery/ change of pace in that area. | ||
