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.)
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Magaery would make a better The Queen than Cersei, but then so would Hodor.
I missed that the pyromancer was played by Roy Dotrice!!!
Loved Lancel crouching in Tyrion's sedan chair. I'm finding it hard not to feel bad for him.

I'm glad to hear he's still acting. Damn, he's almost 90 now?

Isn't this why he took a break from narrating the audiobooks?

It's impressive how quickly and completely Lancel went from thinking he was on top of the world to seeing he was utterly screwed.
This episode had a lot of of women wielding power in various ways, didn't it? Brienne, Cat, Margaery, Arya, Daenarys. We didn't see Cersei, did we? But we know her well enough to see her reflection in Margaery. And, of course, Melisandre.

we saw Cersei. Tyrion was trying to get Joffrey's war plan out of her.

Oh, right. Well, there you go.
I'm not actually sure that fits the point I was making, but, whatever. Womenfolk, lots of 'em, doing stuff.

Because books.
I think that's my only disconnect -- I seem to remember before the series began and I started reading the books that some people were upset by Martin's treatment of women. But I think there are a lot of really strong women characters in the series. Am I misremembering that?

Big C: I love the addition of Victor Garber to the cast.
