Well not to be cynical but Ganz isn't going to quit unless she's got another job. McKenna signed some sort of developmental deal with Universal so I wouldn't have been surprised to see him leave anyway. Haven't heard anything about Ganz though. Solidarity or not, people gotta eat!

I'm gonna give the writers the benefit of the doubt and say that it's just another example of Theon's general incompetence and being-in-over-his-headness to forget to change the banners.

That's really interesting. I didn't think of it that way at the time. I look at the last few seconds more as a thing where Tyrion couldn't bring himself to comfort his crying sister. Like he wanted to hug her but he knows how much she hates him and what should have been a nice moment just turned into awkwardness.

I'm still proud of myself for noticing him standing outside the gates of Quarth the first time they showed him and remarking to my roommate, "That guy is super weird looking, I bet he ends up having some sort of storyline."

Sorta but not necessarily sad in the "pathetic" sense of the word. I actually think it's a pretty cool twist to his character. Especially since we know what Cersei's been up to with the cousin. Almost like he views their relationship in a different light than she does.

Agreed. I'm honestly pretty disappointed in how slowly both the Jon Snow and Daenerys storylines have been developing. It just feels like it's leading to another season where a bunch of awesome stuff happens in the last two episodes and we have to wait until next season for a payoff. All of the Westeros stuff has been…

I'm thinking the third death will be something pretty good. I doubt they'd go to all the trouble of setting this whole thing up only for it to result in three insignificant characters getting axed. But who? WHO?
