Isn't it confirmed little finger masterminded it all? Surely tywin wouldn't allow Sansa to fescape.

He played a part, but doubtful. He doesnt gain much from it really

Don't you think Grandma would have waited a little longer than at the wedding before offing him?  Even if she does intend to take over Kings Landing, I would think giving it a day or so would be minimum.  Also it doesn't look like the new fit queen will be queen for much longer if she is at all.  If the kid brother becomes king she'll be out surely?  I don't see how it suits their family to have him die so soon.

I personally like the Bran storyline although I admit they have become a Velma-less Scooby Doo Gang and would like them to get where they are going nowish.  I personally think Bran is the thread which will run throughout the series (probably get his head chopped off next week now I've said that).

Loving the Tywin character.  Honestly don't know if he's the master puppeteer of the Purple Wedding or that he's such a great political survivor that there isn't a circumstance he cannot take advantage of and use to the benefit of his House.  Dance is obviously wonderful in the role.

Could do with The Wall/Castle Black storyline kicking into gear though.  The last two seasons were essentially 'We marched out, we saw scary things, some of us died, we marched back in.'

Yeah agree.

I think Vaerys has something to do with it, him and his little birds.

Or maybe Jamie did it because he was totally jonesing for some dead-son-corpse-borderline-rape-struggle-cuddle-incest-nookie

[byronkincaid]

seemed to me to be on the receiving end while saying no

Interwebs seems to generally agree it was a rape scene.
People crying because the Jamie Character may never recover.
The Lannisters are clearly power mad mentalists.
Seems in keeping with the character to me.

very much this for me like.

Yep, we are talking about someone who crippled a child in the first episode so she could shag his sister.

GRRM sez

At the same time, what Jaime did is interesting. I don't have any kids myself, but I've talked with other people who have. Remember, Jaime isn't just trying to kill Bran because he's an annoying little kid. Bran has seen something that is basically a death sentence for Jaime, for Cersei, and their children – their three actual children. So I've asked people who do have children, "Well, what would you do in Jaime's situation?" They say, "Well, I'm not a bad guy – I wouldn't kill." Are you sure? Never? If Bran tells King Robert he's going to kill you and your sister-lover, and your three children. . . .

Then many of them hesitate. Probably more people than not would say, "Yeah, I would kill someone else's child to save my own child, even if that other child was innocent." These are the difficult decisions people make, and they're worth examining




No character is completely good or evil (except cersei maybe!)
Great interview here but it will spoil you on how joff was killed so work that out first

Another very good episode.

Lots of stuff to cover I guess.

Liked also the thing with Khaleesi in the city. No massive fight scene similar to a lot of stuff they've done before, just 'here are some slaves, masters nailed to wall, we love meesa, move on with story'

[mulhuzz]

Obviously part of the New Queen/Natalie Dormer fan club as well, even if her scene with Thommen was a little creepy.

[Marky147]

Bit for everyone last night, and there was even some Tikay porn thrown in

[mondatoo]

I'm surprised to find out he is actually 16, looks about 12 at most.

Would they be allowed to do a sex scene with the two of them if he was under 16 ?
