Jon's wolf went off to meet up with Syrio and Barristan Selmy, so the three of them can show up in the last episode and fuck some shit up in a pleasingly unexpected way.

With Pycelle out of the way, I thought the implication was that Varys intentionally fed bad intel to Cersei, so he can use it later to manipulate Tyrion.

What I don't understand about Cat sending him to King's Landing is… uhm… that pending invasion thing? She knows Stannis is on his way, right? How the hell is Brienne supposed to manage a hostage swap at a city under siege?

@avclub-3db41011acc2d229176bf6a92202728d:disqus You've gotta give him +1 Int for sharpening his mind on all those books.

Don't forget Tyrion's soft spot for cripples, bastards and other broken things from season one. In a world that doesn't generally give two shits about the weak, for me that provides a lot of interesting motivation for his actions, especially now that he's stumbled into having some real power.
