GoT: I like the scene between Theon and Osha but that scene with Littlefinger and Ros and the other prostitute not so much. It seemed out of character for him to say so much about himself to anyone.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Treme: it amuses me that Hidalgo thinks he's on the verge of figuring out NOLA.

GoT: it took a reviewer who identified the animal Tywin was skinning as a pig/boar for me to realize the significance that it was a stag. Duh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That didn't look like a stunt stag to me. (OK, SFX stag, but 'stunt stag' is much funnier.)
The Littlefinger scene did seem out of proportion and character. I suspect it's because they want to set up stuff for the coming season as well as make sure his "you shouldn't trust me" doesn't come out of the blue....
Aside from "Winter Is Coming" the theme of tGoT should be "A King In The Hand is Worth Four or Five Elsewhere."

Hee
I need somebody who hasn't read the book to let me know how necessary that exposition was.
Book related speculation here: If Roz=Shae then what does Littlefinger baring his soul to her and her buddy mean ?
I suspect either that my speculation comes to naught or that it bodes ill for that character.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have not read the book and I thought that whole exposition scene was over the top. I didn't think any of it was necessary.

Because books.
Wait, how does Roz = Shae ?
I read a little bit ahead, and I thought Shae was a camp follower Bronn found for Tyrion on the road . And Roz is in King's Landing now, right? She's the one Littlefinger was talking to.

There's been some thought that the one character has been blended into the other. We'll know next week, since Tyrion and Bronn will be back to King's Landing, surely.
I was glad to see Ghost (the white direwolf) at long last. I may dub him Diefenbaker II, since it's clear he's adept at finding a Clue at the right dramatic moment for it. (In fact, it wouldn't be that hard to transpose Due South to the Wall. Hmmm....)

Ah, thank you.
In the book, Jon and Ghost are two of my favorite characters.

Yes, it seemed a bit much that they would introduce yet another character when there is a perfectly good one that they can use.
