That was an inadvertently brilliant play by Pod. Tyrion feels truly indebted to Pod and tried to buy him off relatively cheap. But whatever Pod did, it didn't lift Tyrion's obligation to him. Tyrion's going to end up giving him a castle or something.

Given your history on the Newbie comments, you shouldn't even joke about spoiling things.

I'm guessing "sat and talked with them like they were actual people".

Westeros has hand-reattaching magic capability, right? He'll eventually get his hand back (or an Army of Darkness-style prosthetic), right?

So what was up with the music over the credits? Have they done modern rock music before?

Joffrey is fickle and brutal. Sooner or later, he'll lash out at Margaery. Perhaps she'll be in his room/bed and try to sexually manipulate him, as she did in this episode. She'll push too hard and Joffrey will freak out and turn on her. At that moment, she'll want to turn his attention to something else. "Hey, before…

Now I have a sad.

Uh, what? She's worked consistently for years and directed a movie a few years ago that gave Jennifer Lawrence and Chloe Moretz their big breaks.

You and Paul Dini have similar taste in male-gaze lesbianism.

Oh, hell no. I have the DVD box set.

@rawbun:disqus Yup, he's back. Last week, he had the balls to yell at people, all condescending-like, not to mention spoilers here.

Pretty sure Sansa just fucked herself. Whenever Margery overplays her hand with Joffrey and needs a distraction, she has Sansa teed up to take the hit.

Watched The Master. I've concluded that I simply don't like Joaquin Phoenix as an actor.

Neither did I. But I'm terrible with faces.

I can't believe you wrote at length about the facial hair but failed to mention the most important change this season: Pete's awesome sideburns.

Cutty's a proven survivor.

Andrea finally gets a decent scene and of course it's her death scene. Seeing as we didn't actually see her die (just a closed door, a gunshot and a grave marker), is it possible she'll come back as an annoying, indecisive zombie?

Can't wait until they hit their teenage years and they stay out all night burning the countryside, don't listen to Dany and won't turn down their loud music.

She wasn't there, on Davos' recommendation. She's now twisting that around to turn Stannis against him. Don't mess with a woman that you witnessed firsthand give birth to a demonic smoke monster.

Davos should know better than fucking with Melisandre.  Don't know why he didn't just join his pirate friend and go on raping/pillaging adventures.
