Resent is an emotional without relevance to a bet. No one jousts in a life/death situation [i.e trial of combat] nor is a regular sporting joust a fight to the death. Tyrions his brother and could easily have had intimate information. Jaime was drunk off his ass the night before- drinking with Tyrion- Jaime is bad against a particular lancing style, and wouldnt you know? Tyrion happens to know Loras uses that style. Jaime lost his lucky hankercheif and he'll be distracted. On and on theres explainable reasons for a brother to bet against his brother in a sporting competition.

Nothing of what we've seen of Jaime suggests he isn't out there to crush tournaments as a matter of pride. Suggesting some insider information is possible, admittedly, but hugely speculative and far less likely than Littlefinger having lied about his story. He did tell you not to trust him. | ||

At this point, I'm fairly convinced that every 2nd or 3rd sentence out of Littlefinger's mouth is a lie. If he's really so in love with Catelyn, why is he working directly for the people who are in direct conflict with her? Given how he's basically the most powerful man in the 7 kingdoms in many ways (Golden Rule: he who has the gold makes the rules), his behavior seems really odd. Hell, it's rather strange that he's giving up his position for an attempt at wooing Lysa Arryn, even if he's successful, he's not going to be the Lord of the Vale, but merely it's protector until Robert Arryn comes of age, and it's unlikely that the Lords of the Vale are going to look kindly on dear Petyr. | ||

Well he at least has some influence there cause when Tyrion went on his spy hunt he wanted him to marry Myrcella (?) to Lysas Son (admittedly this was a lie but he bought it). So I guess there is something. | ||

I don't think that had anything to do with the reason Tyrion went to him in this fashion, more so that it made it seem more believable to Baelish. | ||

Well, at least he expected Littlefinger to broker the agreement himself (with a mentally deranged person and Littlefinger believed he could do it). Pycelle was only told that he had struck a deal with the Dornish. | ||

 ) and I was hoping something about the scene of the funeral pyre at the end of season 1.3 living people went on the funeral pyre, Drogo, Daenerys and the witch. 3 Dragons hatched. Wouldn't it be cool if each of the dragons has the personality and strength of 1 of those 3 people? For example a very strong physical dragon from Drogo's soul, larger than the other 2 and a real fighter. A blood magic dragon from the witchs soul, who can't be trusted And a dragon who's fire and fireresist excels compared to the other 2 from Daenerys, probably also her favorite. | ||

Littlefinger claims the dagger is his, but lost it to Tyrion, from a bet on Jaime vs. Loras Tyrell in a joust. Littlefinger bet on Jaime. 2. Tyrion denies the dagger belongs to him, and questions the logic of arming an assassin with a blade that could easily be linked back to him. Err. It's Cersei. Come on, we all know that. Jaimie doesn't kill little boys unless Cersei asks him. Tyrion hates his sister and has a normal relationship with his brother. Jealous in some way, but he does love him | ||

Also, the ending of episode 3 was really wtfff. I am really curious what's going to happen with that dragon. No way she is giving away a dragon, she's probably planning on killing the guy with said dragon. | ||

I don't believe Loras was considered that great of a jouster until he unhorsed Jaime in that particular match...whereas as an older man Jaime had a much more storied reputation. People knew that Loras was good, but based on the way Littlefinger phrased the sentence, betting on him in that matchup was playing against the odds. Given that Tyrion is a rational man, Jaime was the favorite, AND it was his brother, I also find it surprising that Tyrion would bet against him. He would have to be going against both his head and his heart, and few people would do that. Thats your opinion man, we cant really know what went thro tyrion`s head, but given his intellect and cunning, i see no reason why he would be deadlocked into chosing jaime. | ||

Would be a wise move to have some polls for who(or if, don't bite) character/s gonna die this season or will the book readers, that means me as well, will just troll it? | ||

Also, if you don't have polls for every character, there's likely to be some idiot who comes in and says, "Hey, why isn't there one for X? He dies in the book around this time!". So, I think it's more trouble than it's worth, and much better for people to just talk about it here. If you've read the books and know who's going to die, you can just talk about it in the other thread, because it's not like you can actually make "predictions" here as you know what's going to happen. | ||

If us book readers don't troll it, it could be very fun to see who people think will or won't die or if any one actually does But it could be considered too risky, though even if book readers troll it hard no one can truly know if they did or not right? | ||
