The Craster's Keep sequence was surprising in the book too, and I didn't expect the Old Bear to go out like that either.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Okay, I've been waiting for this speech from Varys to Tyrion, as he actually shares this story in Book 2. I figured they wouldn't drop it completely, I'm glad it came around. However, the thing about him unpacking the very sorcerer who cut him while giving the speech is completely original to the show. Nice twist.

More green dreams! Poor Isaac Hempstead-Wright. At least he gets to stand up and walk and stuff in the green dreams.

Hi, my name is Margaery, and the instrument I'll be playing today is Joffrey Baratheon.

Okay, as much as I loved this episode, HBO is seriously torturing me with this whole splitting the trial of the Hound over two episodes. Bad mean taunty HBO.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I think Bran may do more running than any of the other actors.
Yeah, I thought about commenting on you FB post, "You keep saying that..."

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

My god, the look on Cercei's face when the crowd started cheering for them. And her whole conversation with Tywin. "Very well. Contribute."
This was the last ep I'd seen in advance, so I have no special information about what's going to happen next week! This is so frustrating/exciting! (I think I know one thing based on the promo, and I can't wait.)

Because books.
The fact that Tywin doesn't treat Cersei any differently than Tyrion was very satisfying. I also love that he knows Joffrey is a monster.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I could be a little bit in love with her
Don't be coy. There's more than a little there.
I noticed when Bran jerked up awake this time he did so using his arms.
I wish I'd come away with more of a sense of what was going through Cersei's head when the crowd was yelling for Margaery. I know she thought going out there was a bad idea, but I'm not sure how outwitted she feels by their entire family.
I'm not getting the same sense of her and Tyrion's awesome this season. Which isn't a critique, but I see where and why things shifted for Tyrion. Less clear for her.
I'm curious to see what comes of the assertion of leashing Joffrey. I...I do wish he were written a bit subtler. He takes me out of the story.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
see where and why things shifted for Tyrion. Less clear for her.
Her lack of control over Joffrey is how I read it. Things were great until Joffrey held the throne. He is quite savage and does not seem to read nonverbals well.
