Loras does have the body of a weak nerd that shouldn't be able to fight with men double his size.
About Ygritte I don't know, I don't think she's much of a in-your-face-with-a-mace kind of fighter so I don't mind her skinny.
But thats loras. He's supposed to be slender its supposed to be surprising that he's as strong of a fighter as he is.

World would be very boring if everyone had the same taste in men / women.

But that's impossible. You can't weigh 65kgs and be able to fight let alone overwhelm people much stronger while wearing full plate armor. It's literally impossible. I doubt if he could even swing his sword in real life.
If he was a thief-like fighter, like bron for example, who has many underhanded techniques and use leather armor and don't try to tackle his opponent with strength but with better swordsmanship, then yes, lora's physique would be plausible.

Now that we've already seen two and a half seasons of GoT, I have to point out we rarely see any of the characters go to the toilet.
This is completely unrealistic. Given the huge time span, we should have seen every single character go to the toilet a couple of times already.
Some people really complain about everything.

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying he was right.

I mean he wears chainmail and not plate mail. he only uses a breastplate and a chain shirt and gauntlets. that kind of armor is pretty easy to carry, i can wear chain and a breastplate and jog decently and i'm certainly less thinner than loras.and he is one of the only person in the show to fight with a thin longsword and no shield instead of a greatsword or heavy sword and shield.

I think Robb Stark is doomed. He has made too many poor decisions (marrying Telisa, marching to his Grandfather's funeral, and now losing the Karstarks). I think he will meet The Mountain in battle when marching on Casterly Rock and he will fall.
There's also a serious lack of Direwolf. I'd expect Robb's to be chilling in his room or something.
I'm not sure what to make of the Theon situation. The guy got him to admit to everything, but killed 6 of his own men to do so? Plus, when he brought Theon back into the torture chamber, there were already men waiting there, as if it was a setup. Why would these other men be in on a plot that got 6 of their own guys killed?
I'm really nervous about Davos and Stannis' daughter. The Fire Priestess hinted to Stannis he needs to start sacrificing his own family members to appease the Lord of Light.

Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if everyone on the show dies. literally everyone.

Yeah I think everyone will die too, and it will end up being White Walkers versus Dragons. I think the only Stark that will live will be Brann. He is named after the legendary Brann the Builder, who built The Wall and Winterfell. The show seems to have this recurring idea of history repeating itself. Maybe Brann ends up rebuilding everything once the dust has settled and winter has come and gone.
And Jon Snow???? More like Jon Snoo Snoo! amirite?

People wearing full armors were lowered on top of their horse with a crane.
So, no, this guy + Show Spoiler + could not use anything else besides soft silk armor, lol.

And in the end Catelyn wakes up and finds Ned in the shower, and we find out that it has all been just a dream. Storywriting at its best!

You'd be surprised how strong people can get without looking really buff. Take a look at olympic weightlifters in the 69 kg category, it's crazy.

not to mention that armor can be tailored for a specific individual well enough that it feels much lighter because its very balanced., and it can be assumed that the tyrells could afford this kind of armor for loras. besides it honestly doesn't take too much strength to kill someone with a sword. just have to stab, even a weaker warrior like loras (compared to like a stark) can pierce platemail with a well timed thrust. he's not going to sandor clegaine it and smash through someones shield with a one handed blow, but he'll parry an attack and stab you in the gut.

People having a problem with people wearing more armor than they'd realistically be able to, meanwhile there are dragons, ghosts and a dude being resurrected multiple times. Gg.

So far, I think this is the best season.

They should have made the fight between Clegane and Beric at the end of the episode... If that was in the end, i would be pumped for next episode...
With the end they have chosen, i am not...
Good episode overall, Jaime's character actor has a brilliant performance....

When i watched jaime get his hand cut off i looked over at my table, saw my Men's Health May issue... NIkolaj Coster-Waldau with his hands in his pockets! HE WAS TELLING US!!!! also he's a really cool guy according to the interview.

Guys, I think S3E5 is probably my favorite episode for GoT.
Jamie's character finally blossoms along with his newfound respect with that tall lady.
Robb becomes a badass maverick and paves his own path as king.
That touching scene with the slaves and Dany with Jorah ever vigilantly watching her back.
Just a lot of rich character development!
Oh, and Jon finally gits some with Ygritte! Do you know how many nerds like me were vicariously rooting for the virgin poster boy??
