And that's how little I know of the Lannisters. I hate them, and never bothered to follow their backstory.

I'm only barely trying to not be spoiler-ish, so… Are they just going to try to have some mangled half-man, half-animal character just following R around with no explanation? We already know he has T.

I thought it was because she was pregnant…

I think it was meant for book readers. Ditto for mentions of Dunc and Arthur Dayne.

It's a pretend show full of magic. I gave them a pass on the steel. :)

That was Ellaria Sand, mother of 4 of the Sand Snakes, The Red Viper's (Oberyn Martell) daughters.

My favorite part with melting down Ice was realizing that the Lannisters have never had a Valerian steel sword! It gives you an idea of how they are really upstarts. They've been trying to grab power for at least 2 generations. Well, they got it, and they deserve it, too…
