So many missed chances for poor Westeros! A Renly/Stark alliance could have made this a much shorter series, tho.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Very true.
Are you guys finding Jaquen a little bit disappointing?
I guess in my head the red/white hair was much more distinctive.

Yeah, his hair is not like I pictured, but I like how understated he is in general, so maybe the understated hair goes with that.
Man, I love Brienne a lot. And the dragon cooking his tidbit of meat was fantastic.

Isn't this the theme of the whole series? I feel like "If only that guy hadn't been brutally murdered just now, we could have had peace!" pops up about every couple hundred pages or so.
Oh, I really loved Margarey Tyrell's "No. I want to be the Queen" moment.

Yes, it was another place where they showed that she isn't a pawn.

Because books.

Yes! I've loved the actress since The Tudors, but last week's scene blew me away -- so pragmatic and reasonable and smart. And this week, it was so clear that she was far more aware of the implications of her situation than her poor brother was.

That was excellent. Sharp and efficient characterization.

Loras and Margarey are somewhat of a parallel to Jamie and Cersei, except without the incest. Loras and Jamie are very pretty and good with swords, their sisters are the schemey/plotty ones.
(Schemes and plots are the same thing.)
