That scene was by far the most powerful in the episode for me. The Hound has long been a bad guy who wants to be something better and other than "The Hound," as we saw with his earlier interactions with Sansa. Now we get this episode when he finally acknowledges to someone (including himself) that he isn't dragging…

I suppose this whole season has been a lot of Dany being confronted with the reality that her plans won't all be perfectly actualized, and that she was really naive to have thought that once she had the power, she'd be able to wield it with the exact results she wanted.

I am very curious as to the timeline of Shay agreeing to betray Tyrion and shack up with Tywin. Has she been working for Tywin this whole time? If not, did she approach Tywin regarding testifying against Tyrion, or did he track her down? With both of them dead I wonder if we'll ever know exactly how that collaboration…

Oh I like that idea, her successfully training the two captive ones with the rogue third dragon causing shenanigans later.

I'm more annoyed that she didn't foresee this exact situation and do more to try and prevent it. I mean, dragons are enormous carnivores. I would have thought Dany would have considered that and tried to do something about it beforehand rather than being shocked and heartbroken that giant carnivores are acting exactly…

This whole bit with the dragons is really annoying me. We know that dragons featured prominently in past wars, and we know Westeros is really big on history and record keeping. What did they do with dragons in the past, did they have a method of training them, or did they just not care about the collateral damage back…

I also gave up with TWD around the same issue for the same reason. It had just devolved into torture porn, an endless attempt to make each issue even more messed up than the last. I've actually found the show to be much better than the comic in that regard.

This is an honest question; I love to read, I love when I see movies/tv shows that are based on books I have read, and I love GOT the show, though I have never read the books.

Agreed. Even though his role was short lived, I'll miss Oberyn more than any other character thus far.

It was a well done scene, but I think in another episode, it would be THE scene people were left talking about. The discussions I've been seeing today are mostly about Oberyn's unsuccessful attempt at Inigo Montoya-ing the Mountain, followed by Sansa's turn around.

What is happening to poor ole Edmure these days I wonder? Haven't heard anything of him since he was thrown in the dungeon following the Red Wedding.

My guess is Arya and the Hound will just turn around without bothering to see who still is hanging out in the Vale. This show is just too fond of having Starks ALMOST reunited, but then it dissolving at the last moment.

I do think it was a shame that Jorah's exile happened this episode, rather than one of the slower ones earlier this season. I feel like what would have been the pivotal moment in a different episode ended up getting lost amid the action and drama of this one.

I knew from the second he walked onto the battleground and started doing all those show offy moves that he was going to get killed. Being that cocky and flippant on a tv death match is pretty much signing your own death warrant.

I agree that was a big part of the appeal. He wasn't just a manipulative power player who is always tempering what he says in King's Landing. He just acts like himself and calls a spade a spade. And I agree the speech about seeing Tyrion and saying, "That's not a monster, that's just a little baby" was one of the more…

Tyrion is the only character who I have heard people say that they will stop watching the show if he dies. He's like Daryl in the Walking Dead in how much of a fan favorite he is. People want him around until the last season. Out of all the characters on Walking Dead, Daryl is the one my money is on to make it to the…

We tend to see Dorne reflected as a more civilized place that wouldn't do something like harm innocent girls out of spite. And Tyrion sent her there because he felt it was the safest place for her. So while it remains to be seen, and this is not the first time a Dorne aristocrat has met a messy end in King's Landing,…

Awesome episode, though Oberyn's death really bothered him. Even though he's a new and minor character, I don't know why, I just really really wanted that guy to live and was bothered more by his death than that of a lot of more important characters. Maybe his powers of seduction just managed to get me more…

Yeah exactly. that would be super anti climactic and disappointing. Sort of like the Theon rescue, but way worse because I'm much less invested in what happens to that idiot.

I agree with the wild card thing. I don't know how I would feel if it turned out that the dragons ultimately turned on her and became her undoing, or if they just took off and became wild dragons, thus resulting in her losing her ultimate status/authority symbol. I really like the idea of her being their mother with a…
