Okay, you kind of get the impression in the books that Selyse Baratheon is a little cuckoo bird, but it's hard to say because she's such a minor character. But that's seriously cuckoo bird.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whew, that was intense.

Aaaah! Little Shireen Baratheon singing Patchface's nonsense song!

Last week's and this week's are probably good ones to watch back to back. The two of them together contain some of my favorite scenes from the books.

Also, I really have to say how much it friggin' thrills me to death that every single one of the songs has made it into the show in one form or another. Shireen's song over the end credits is (as yet) the only one that hasn't also been sung by a character within the body of the episode.

She sang it a little bit when we first saw her in her cell, the verse about the birds having scales

By the way, in the books the Unsullied would draw a new name by lot every day, consisting of a color and a vermin. Grey Worm chose to remain Grey Worm because it was the name he drew on the day Daenerys Stormborn set him free.

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

But that's seriously cuckoo bird.

Yeah, the whole "and here is my collection of miscarried fetuses" bit? Not in the books! Yipes!

Does she know that "the son" Melissandre gave Stannis wasn't so much an actual son as it was a shadow demon assassin? So not, you know, helpful in the heir department?

Shireen was way too pretty, but such is television (see also, Tyrion). I loved that she was reading Dunk & Egg!

Tyrion & Sansa are engaged! One of my favorite book plotlines. And Cersei and Loras, which I think is a change - I remember Tywin insisting that she marry again, but I don't remember him having picked out a specific husband for her.
