Exactly. It probably has to show Jaime coming to terms with his decision to tell Tyrion, have him and Varys spring him from the coop, and then the wee one needs adequate time to murder his whore and shoot his pappy in the gut. In a perfect world, I would love to see half the episode be just this.

I enjoyed the episode, but I agree- it felt like a distraction. We're all waiting with baited breath to watch how Tyrion's season comes to an end.

My kids have really enjoyed the orgy scenes this season. "Tasefuwwy shot," they exclaimed gleefully through their non-spill cup lids.
