His restrained fury last week when Sansa told him she wouldn't join him on his voyage was pretty chilling. I agree that he's becoming scarier with each passing episode.

The most interesting part of the episode for me was Melisandre's interactions with Gendry and Arya. I get the feeling that Gendry is going to be all sorts of badass in the future. On that note, I wonder how Joffrey would enjoy a warhammer to the face?

"His father and mother are both known - so not a bastard.
Wildlings are from the North - so no to that."

Doesn't Mance Rayder's army have 70,000 soldiers? IIRC it's bigger than any army south of the wall. My thinking is that Robb will fall by the end of this season, Bolton will take Winterfell, and Mance/Jon will crush Bolton if the whitewalkers don't get him first.

It seems obvious to me that Jon and Dany are the chosen ones.

On that note, it's probably not a good time for a Baratheon bastard to be hanging out with a fire priest when there's a fire priestess roaming the realm in search of Baratheon blood. I hope Gendry finds a way out of this.

I thought he said, "You will be my lady."

But wait…what's that up in the rafters it's…it's…it's Ned Stark! Ned Stark coming down from the rafters with a folding chair! The Lannisters are scattering. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!

I don't think a kind and benevolent lord would allow his underling to cut off his prisoner's hand. Especially not when that prisoner is Tywin Lannister's son. I don't quite what know what Bolton's angle is, but my guess is that he's making a power play to take Winterfell/the north and that Jamie will be used as…

If Thoros can revive the dead, can he also give Jamie his hand back?

He didn't seem to mind going against his principles and his word when he married the nurse.

Prodigies appear in the most unlikely places.

Meanwhile Barristan and Mormont continue to feud. I smell a cage match at SummerSlam. The only question is which combatant the Khaleesi will escort to the ring.

They're really going to great lengths to make this scummy character sympathetic all of a sudden. You're still a sister-fucking Wildling bastard in my book, Kingslayer.

Robb always seemed doomed, but really jumped the shark in this episode. Holy incompetence, Batman! He makes Stannis Baratheon look measured and reasonable.

Let me get this straight…

I feel like I might enjoy this movie. I'm a fan of the "idiots making terrible decisions that lead to extreme violence" genre.

Did you know…

Does this guy actually have talent or is he just suddenly getting all of these high-profile roles because he comes from a mega powerful family that has incriminating pictures of every studio head in Hollywood?

I agree. There's no way that they'd just leave the thread dangling for no reason. He will come back and be factor, even if it's only for a scene or two. Now that Jon is fighting for the other side, there's the potential for a pretty tricky family conflict situation.
