I can see the appeal of that, but I think it would be wrong for Theon going forward to have that major a religious experience. The Damphair pouring water over his head is what happened in the book, although the order of events has been shuffled a little.
None of it means a damn thing.

I admit to quite often skimming the Theon chapters in the books on rereads. I find him such an unlovable, yet unfascinating character. He's better in the series, anyway. I thought his rebuke of his father's abandoning him was outstanding.

I'm just wondering who got to explain things to Cersei.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
The part where there was never any plan to marry the Princess off? Getting the Queen emotionally distraught and then going, "Surprise! It was all a trick!" strikes me as a non-optimal strategy. Maybe there'll be fallout next episode.

Because books.
I'm not sure Tyrion doesn't intend to barter Myrcella, actually. Cersei's freakout seems a little like a non-issue, too -- she doesn't like or trust anything Tyrion does, so it doesn't really matter what he tells her. Or, you know, has other people tell her.

Right.
Bartering Myrcella is actually something that is likely to happen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, it sounded serious to me. I thought the bartering was the main truth. The "lies" where to whom she was bartered.

Game of Thrones: A couple scenes were way too disturbing for me tonight. The torture seems really graphic.

Okay, WTF was that with Melisandre at the end?!
