Cersei made it clear last season that all of the kids were Jamies, because the few times Robert did share a bed with her, she'd finish him  "in other ways", and he was too drunk to put 2+2 together. 

I think her love for the Dothraki is real, or at least for her Dothraki followers, but she's not trying to take the Iron Throne so that she can camp out on the front lawn forever.

The problem with the dragons not eating three episodes ago wasn't that they "had no food". Rather, they actually showed the dragon refusing the meat she was trying to feed to it.  Then she said that she doesn't know what dragons eat. Then she said that her brother didn't know either, because he didn't know anything

I just realized: When the city watch sets King's Landing ablaze with their WMD's, Dany can walk right through it.

Well, you're going to have a hard time convincing the fireproof girl that magic is all bullshit.  

Due to the circumstances of Renley's death, Stannis can pretend to hold the high ground with the Baratheon bannermen. "I only wanted to negotiate an alliance with my brother. I did not know some backstabber would murder him in his own tent!".  Lady Stark and the Amazon are the only ones who know what happened.

Theon isn't turning in favor of his father, he's turning in favor of himself.  That's the tragedy of his character: he was thrown into a limbo where none of his victories and accomplishments could be his, just credit to someone else's life.  He's desperate to do something that's his own, and it's almost incidental at

The seasons really should be longer.  I understand that HBO doesn't have infinite money to do this, but I'd bet that they are finding their subscribers go WAY up when GOT airs.  I'm one of those people. 

Jorah does legitimately see her has the best contender, except that he should barely have any idea what's going on back in Westeros.

Her eyebrows do sort of look like they just dusted them with flour.

I agree, he said "stone".

The vault is going to be opened by Xhor'oldo, and there will be nothing inside.  

In retrospect, Renly's death was also an inevitability.  Stannis had too many unanswered mysteries going on with the priestess for his story to be cut short,  and he needs an army to continue. Therefore, he has to replace Renly.  There was nothing left to be answered about Renley beyond "ooh, will people find out he's

Jon and Dany are the two who clearly seem to have larger destinies.  We're not following Jon because he's some poor shlub who ened up on the wall telling grumpkin stories.  And as has been mentioned before, all of this fighting over the throne is going to be for nothing when the Walkers invade.  

Awkward is the right word for it, but I think most of us wouldn't feel that way had the monster killed him at the end of last week's episode instead of the beginning of this one.  For better or worse, the impact of such scenes does depend on the emotional tension you build with your audience.  Even though we knew the

There's definitely a balancing act here. You have to applaud the show for not going the route where only the Red Shirted Ensigns can be killed, but there is a point where they can't just kill off all of the characters that we are emotionally invested in without making the show seem flat and pointless. 

We're starting to see what could be a bigger issue for Dany in the short term, which is that the Dothraki are really only good at being Dothraki.  It's one thing to adapt to new cities and cultures if you have experienced cities in the first place, but the Dothraki literally only know pillage of any non-Dothraki,  and

I think that was her husband.

But I think everyone's ages are different in the books.  Ned is supposed to be like 36 (Sean Bean is 53), and Robb and John were 14 when he went to King's Landing.   Dany was also supposed to be a lot younger when she married Drogo, but for obvious reasons they didn't want to do that on TV.  It wouldn't surprise me if

Maester Luwin and Hodor would make a great Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker.
