We even have it from Barristan, I believe, that Rhaegar had told the small council before setting out for the Trident that when he returned he was going to find a way to set aside his father. If he'd won at the Trident, he'd probably have found some way to do that and we'd have a very different world.

Especially since in his mind it's something he rightly feels justified in having done, only to have the whole world think of him as a man with shit for honor because of it.

It would be pretty time consuming, though. If I were fighting Unsullied I'd attack when they were all going to get their name for the day.

They also tried charging the Unsullied and got wrecked, but they're light cavalry as opposed to heavy lancers. But…

@avclub-e1b3fa16446b9e167870f5d13062d444:disqus Ahhh, Gregorley.

@avclub-858b67085072a6f2403cf500871f4068:disqus Yeah, entirely. I got the S2 Blu-Rays when they come out and binge rewatched, and the show was simply better watching more than 1 hour at a time because you get more than a scene or two with each character.

The thing that makes this an A episode for me is that beyond simply being brilliantly acted and written, the scenes did a very good job segueing from one storyline to the next.

I wanted the story about the people who live in the caves and them talking about just staying in the caves forever together. That was an incredibly touching scene.

This is one place where I'm happy they aged the characters up. Tyrion and Sansa's wedding/bedding will still be creepy as fuck, but less so with a 16 year old actress than a 12 or 13 year old one. And the bedding will leave them with their clothes on, so that will lessen the grossness too.

@Nathan Ford's Evil Twin He's not just King in the North, he's also got the backing of the Riverlands. So he can't just pull back up north because then all of those lords from the Riverlands (which is a lot richer than the sparsely populated North) will be invaded by the Lannisters. Unless you think leaving half your…

@avclub-ac9276d79d4473b8075df15ea199f8f4:disqus Yeah, that's the origin of the "legitimate rape can't cause pregnancy" canard. If orgasm is required to conceive, well how could she have been raped? Ugh. Stupid humans.

Yeah, remember our first introduction to Tywin, dressing down Jaime while butchering a stag. Man, Charles Dance is so awesome.

Valar Dohaeris!

If you look at the S3 premier photos, he's obviously lost some weight.

She gon make Westros care again,
Ain't a docile Maid Marian
Joffrey? She'll bury him.

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house! Elderdeath upon you, Thrr-Gilag!

Dude is going to warg a dragon, and he wargs Hodor. You don't cut that.

BOOK COMMENTARY, NOT SPOILERS:

@avclub-782066c88e9c574d6085f3ddfc7032e4:disqus They're the true kings! SPOILERS!

Yeah, agreed. "Hear Me Roar" is kind of lame, too.
