When do they explain it? How did the servant know he would reveal all of that personal info before they back to the dungeon? He didn't exactly probe for it, theon just shared it on his own. And how did he know those captors wouldn't kill him before he got the information he wanted? Seems a bit over-elaborate just to get that piece of information.. | ||

You're ready to chop my head off. Do you think you could? Do you think you can beat me in a fair fight? Brienne of Tarth: I've never seen you fight. Jaime Lannister: The answer is no. There are three men in the kingdoms who might have a chance against me. You're not one of them. keep in mind though, this is Jaime being his cocky self, and it doesn't necessarily state facts. I'm guessing one of them is arya's instructor, Syrio, who I think we can assume to be alive. | ||

As for the whole Jaime issue, I fence for my university. A year of absolutely zero exercise/practice/malnutrition will fuck you up, and make you slow and predictable, just as Brienne says. And that's a sport with probably less physical requirements than outright swordfighting. Was he still overrated? Maybe, but I'd say he has a hell of an excuse, especially given Brienne's style seems to be in hitting very hard against physically weaker opponents. He wins pretty much every tournament he is in and those include melee combat. He is also brought up along with jaime/the mountain as one of the best swordsman in westeros, though it is dismissed because he's gay. | ||

Jousts and melees are different kinds of tournaments - he won the joust at the Hand's tourney, and he won the joust against Jaime before that, but I don't think we heard about actual melees with him. He did pretty well at Renly's, but that's the only case we have (and he wasn't even using a sword there). He's obviously a great fighter, but where he compares to the rest in a melee, we can't be totally sure imo. | ||

I'm pretty sure that kid is just nuts. You don't go and kill five of your own guys just to try and see why he did something. Like man, his eyes when he lit that torch in the dungeon and you realize what happened... yeah, those weren't the eyes of a sane individual. | ||

IIRC he's lost two Tournaments or something ridiculous like that, one being the one he surrendered to the hound for saving his life against the mountain, the other he lost to jaime. He's considered to be up there with jaime in terms of swordfighting at least by the people, Renly, Lannisters men, A few other misc people have all referenced him as being one of the greats. | ||

Again, I've no doubt he's excellent (his weapon skills seem superior to brienne, at least, and that's something). One of the best overall? Possible. | ||

Jorah knew about it, surely there are people in Westeros who know about it too. Right now the Lannistars are under siege from everywhere and they have loads of cash. They could have just bought the Unsullied (call them servants not slaves) and send them to fight Robb and Stanis. The dead cost nothing. Either the Unsullied finish the job and save the Lannisters from all their trouble, or they die do massive damage and end up costing nothing to sustain. The Lannister's couldn't hire the Unsullied because Stannis controls the water. He has more ships than the Lannisters (at least before the battle of Blackwater Bay... hard to say now) so there wasn't any way the Lannister's could get across the sea to hire those slaves, and even if they could it'd take forever for them to get there to help out since they're so far away. Granted Ravens can teleport in the show, so they could stretch it some, but yeah. Lannisters already have more men than the Starks with the Tyrell's in the fold so they don't really need to spend a fortune to buy another army... especially considering they are going to have to deal with the Crown's debt, considering they are securing the throne. | ||

She has to stay alive until she's had a chance to have a direct impact on the war for the throne. She's already had a big impact. She brought three dragons into the game and freed a large slave army. If Dany were to die then the things that she has already done could still change the world. | ||
