Nah. An episode or two would still be enough to know he's an incestuous, rapey, baby-sacrificing bastard. More time didn't really add to it.

I would watch that. Not just a scene in every episode, but an entire spin-off. They're Jaime/Brianne, Tywin/Arya level spin-off!

Ahahahaha. Hotness and a (finally) interesting scene aside, she's still a rubbish, wooden actress.

Yeah… she probably hasn't learnt a whole second or third language - just rote memorised a handful of lines with the help of a vocal coach.

Oh yes. Gods yes. Any fictional universe where there's a battle between old gods and a new, one true God (Battlestar Galactica, one of David Eddings' series), the follows of the new God are always SO goddamn boring when they prattle on.

I thought his betrayal of the Starks last season was really poorly written. However, I liked his recognition this episode that his true father has his head cut off at King's Landing, or whatever the line was.

Varys is my favourite character on Game of Thrones. Daeny, like, my… 28th?

I still don't really like Daeny. Her presence has dragged down the show since the beginning, since it's been the standalone thread. However, at least this episode (and the few leading up to it) have improved her as a character - she was insufferable for most of the first two seasons, and Emilia Clarke was a terrible,…

There's a tiny bit of nineteen eighty-four to is as well, the whole 'through overt monitoring you only reveal what we want to hear, but when you feel you've eluded us you reveal your true thoughts'. Tricking people into confessing is probably a pretty common plot device. Actually, it's like every ending of Castle (did…

Mmmmm, I find it difficult to get carried along with the whole "8,000 unsullied" thing. I just can't get my head around the idea that a systemic program of indoctrination could completely irradicate all traces of humanity, fear, independent thought etc.

The whole "Bolton" thing has totally slipped by me, but wouldn't it be weird, if it was an elaborate setup by those that now have Winterfell, to kill three or four of their own men just to go undercover? When John Snow had to do it it was out of desperation, to one old dude that gave him no choice.

I just have a lot of feelings, @avclub-b56086d2aeaac8ca31834f58bf7af9b6:disqus.

For some reason, I as soon as I saw the table I thought 'they're going to take his hand.' It was weird - I've never picked a major plot development like that before so vividly. They had to really. Jamie's had just a bit too much luck, and gotten away with too much shit - I still think his first escape when he caved in…

"And your daddy ain’t here" - poor Jaime sure wishes he had his Hand right about now.

Oh @avclub-21a8615938a206d4311a58a53ad8890e:disqus, so you mean *spoiler based on what you just wrote* Jamie doesn't die? Please consider that even mentioning that a character has a future is a form of a spoiler - particularly in this show, revels in the idea that any character can die and nobody is 'safe'. :(

Me too. That or his long lost daughter or something.

It's not just you.

It's not just you.

Oh, ok then. Makes sense that they'd have generators. Still, I don't think the (maybe temporary) blackout dupe from the West Wing was anywhere near as lame as the Sorkin ex machina that followed its setup in this instance.
