Egads! Poor Jaime! And I can't believe I'm thinking that.
I love Jaime and Brienne as besties. He's real when he is talking with her, for whatever reason she brings some down-to-earthiness to him.
Who was the guy who saved Theon? Do we know him yet?
I've not read the books...
So curious to know what amazing talents that young boy will have to Shepard with Tyrion and Bronn. What a hoot!!
Oh, and why did Danaerys (??) only stop to give the one man water? There was a very long line of them...
I couldn't believe she gave up a dragon. Is there more to that? Will it return to her once she beckons it? From no matter how far away?
Just wondering aloud.
Love this darn show! Why does it have to go so quickly?
This. I've called my cable company a couple of times asking about it and they say they don't offer it and there are currently no pending plans to offer it. :down:
I wonder what the reasoning is for certain cable companies to not offer something like this? People that do receive it, get it free with their HBO service but I wonder if somehow it costs the cable company more to offer it?
I don't think I can get HBO On Demand either, but I was specifically talking about HBOGo.

I suspect that HBO (and Showtime, Cinemax, etc) doesn't actually know who subscribes to their channels. You order from your cable company, you pay your cable company, etc and the list of subscribers probably never makes it back to them. So in order for them to know you are a subscriber, your cable company would have to integrate into their system so they can verify your subscription status. Not all cable companies have bothered to integrate their systems with HBO, thus those customers can't use HBOGo
What was Arya referring to when she made a point of going up to Clegane and asking him whether he remembered the last time he was at that spot?
It seems pretty apparent that after Dany gets her army of 8000, she's going to lay waste to the whole slave civilization - she's repeatedly expressed her disgust with them and she knows the head guy is a jerk, so I don't think she'll have any qualms about that. But I am worried that the dragon she gave up for the 8000 is somehow going to get caught up in the crossfire (at least in part because they made such a point of her two advisors being against agreeing to give up the dragon), and she'll end up with only 2 dragons at her disposal going forward anyway.
Tyrion did say "What kind of an idiot gives an assassin his own blade" or words to that effect during his trial. That, to me, acknowledges his ownership of the knife.
Even if Littlefinger marries Lysa, her son Robyn(sp) is still master of the Vale I would think. I don't see how Littlefinger would leapfrog Robyn's claims.
Hmmm ... I barely remember the butcher's boy. No, I take that back - I don't remember the butcher's boy at all.
Before I forget, I loved Ser Bronn referring to Lord Baelish as "twatbeard." What a perfect description of his scraggly triangular growth. I bet that's not in the book, but that somebody (maybe the guy who plays Bronn or even the guy who plays Baelish himsel) came up with it.

The Butcher's boy was wooden swordfighting with Arya at Arya's request down by the river. Joffrey tried to kill him, Arya disarmed Joffrey and one of the direwolves bit Joffrey. The Butcher's boy ran away and later that night was shown laid over the saddle dead on a horse that the Hound was leading back into town. The Hound made some kind of quip that he wasn't much of an opponent.
Favorite new character is the Queen of Thorns, Lady Olenna. She looks like she's going to be a hoot and she'll be good at directing Margery. Diana Rigg's delivery of her lines is wonderfully acidic.
Tryion is still my favorite and dragging the chair to the end of the table just cracked me up..

She seems to be every bit the equivalent of the dowager-countess from Downton Abbey. I half expect to see Maggie Smith when I hear her deliver her lines.
The casting on this show is nothing less than perfection.

Question: Was the Vale property of Lord Arryn or the property of the Tully's?? I'm guessing that Riverrun is now the property of Edmure. Where is the property of Cat's uncle Brynden?

The Vale is its own "kingdom" just like the Riverlands are.
The Blackfish has no lands but the Riverlands. He is related to the lord of the Riverlands, his nephew, Edmure Tully.
Lysa Arryn was married to the Lord of the Vale, Jon Arryn. Her son is Lord of the Vale but is too young to rule without assistance, so Lysa rules as a lord regent. She can be married and whoever she marries would become the lord regent. So if she marries Littlefinger he would essentially be Lord of the Vale until Lysa's son becomes of an age to rule himself.
So the question is, what will Littlefinger do with the little brat when he gets to the Vale?
A fun design fact. Jon Arryn was Lord of the Vale. The castle in the mountain there (the one with the hole in the floor) is called the Eyrie. Arryn's sigil is a bird.
Since Jon Arryn died, Ned Stark came to town to be Hand of the King, then Tyrion, but neither got around to redecorating, and the bedroom was still decorated with birds all over the walls. Cool touch.
If the boy dies before coming of age, the Lord of the Vale title would pass on to whoever is next in line of succession to the boy. Depending on the specific rules of succession of the Vale, that could mean a cousin or uncle or perhaps Lysa Arryn, but it would not be Littlefinger (that would be an outlandish rule of succession indeed).
So I'm not sure it would do him any good to have the kid offed right away. BUT, look out kid once ol' Twatbeard has had some time to get acclimated and has infiltrated the centers of power in the Vale such that he's able to usurp the title upon the boy's death. (Let's not forget that Lord Baelish is very familiar with the machinations and logistics of usurpation - he puppeteered Joffrey's win over good old Ned Stark.)
Littlefinger's best long-term strategy would be knocking up Lysa with a son (or several), and then when he was sure the kid would survive, arranging an "accident" for Robin.

Yeah, and then he can keep knocking off his own oldest son (making sure he has at least one surviving) before he can come of age. Not sure even Littlefinger is that depraved.
