I just wanna say, I was right about Tyrion going the way of Snape, and I'm not altogether happy about it.
(And GRRM wrote this ep! Come on, man, stick by your characters!)
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

As in, the book character is a genuinely unpleasant person who is just smart/unpopular enough to have a geek cult following, but then gets completely woobified onscreen.

Oh, I don't know - we are where we are and we'll seen when we get further.

Because books.
I don't think Tyrion was ever presented the same way Snape was from the start, though.

The Tyrion from his POV chapters in this book would have been having a very different conversation with Bronn re: the fuckability of Sansa Stark.

Ah. I never got that far.
Maergery's patience with Sansa was delightful, mostly because she also looked completely amused.
Daenerys remains badass. Oh, and so does Tywin! The scene was Joffrey was so satisfying.

"Yes dear, my mother taught me" was fantastic.
Tywin climbing the steps to the Iron Throne was one of my favorite moments in the ep.
And I love how big the dragons are getting.

And Joffrey almost visibly cringing. And "We could arrange to have you carried"!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, that was great. But Joffrey was right to be concerned about the dragons. Is Tywin just wrong not to be concerned, or is he keeping dragon intelligence from Joffrey?
