"I have only loved one woman."

Yeah, saw that one coming.

So did Sansa. As soon as he showed up, I said, "Is he gonna..."

Still so awesome, though. Is it wrong to hope young Robin is next?

I doubt it. As long as Petyr controls Robin, he controls the Vale. Without Robin, someone outside the household will be in charge. I do wonder how that will go down, as the show seems to have eliminated Robin's epilepsy

And Tyrion's face while Oberyn was describing Cersei showing them the baby Tyrion was heartbreaking.

Fuck, man, that scene. That scene did 12 different things at once. Although Oberyn taking the torch was a little odd.

I think Joffrey came by a lot of his viciousness very naturally through his mother.

Joffrey is Cersei with Jaime's stomach for violence.

Relatedly, I loved the scene with Bronn and Tyrion (Lollys!). I do wonder if that was the last we'll see of him, since it felt like a goodbye. Perhaps he won't be hanging with Jaime.

Still loving the Hound & Arya Show,

YES! That monologue about his brother was well-timed. Almost like they planned it for when they re-introduced Gregor (Yes, I know). Bites do tend to get infected.

as well as the Brienne & Podrick Show.

She's gotten much snarkier than I remember her being last season (LIKE). Pod totally had a point, but Hot Pie (HOT PIE!) is totally the exception, with his lovely wolf bread. They're headed toward the Eyrie, right?

Everyone's headed for the fucking Eyrie. Although, with Lysa dead, that might give the Hound the excuse he's clearly looking for to ditch Arya.

If they meet on the road, imagine the wacky adventures that might transpire!

Oh, gods, Sandor and Brienne interacting. Yeah.

The Hound: Could be food.

Arya: Could be soldiers.

I love those two.

Sean, that scene is totally laying the groundwork for the idea of "the gift"

Although Oberyn taking the torch was a little odd.

The man never met a dramatic gesture he didn't love.

I thought pretty much the same thing, Debet.

Also, was that meant to be Biter? I couldn't tell.

Is there any decent theory for why the princess has to be on the ship other than King's Blood? Because, I think that's where Stannis is gonna part ways with Lady Mel.

For all intents and purposes, I'm going to call that Biter. He was traveling with Rorge.

Well, that makes things...different. I guess they're simplifying timelines all over the place. I will hope and trust that they know what they're doing and don't fuck things up too badly.

I was talking to my brother this afternoon and positing that Nikolaj had been a major impetus behind the decision to give Jaime some facial scars, to give more of a visual difference between Jaime in season 1 and now, especially in shots where you can't see his hand.

Snow Winterfell!

I always wonder if whoever made up the, "There are seven doors in a forest," meme, where one of the doors leads to Narnia, and one to Middle Earth, etc, but included Westeros on that list had ever read the books.

From the first time I saw it, all I could think was, "no one ever chooses the Westeros door."
