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.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

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?!

That was a brutal episode. And the shadow child thing was super creepy.
