I don't see the link between the two the author is making at all. It's like a nice buildup that then takes a dramatic turn that doesn't make much sense. "_______ is criticized...you know what else is criticized... _____!" I like libertarians, so this isn't a bash on them. Frankly, getting bashed in the media shows you've arrived! I feel like if anything, libertarians are largely ignored.

They're more like Sansa than Tyrion.

I don't know about Libertarians but the Lannisters represent America. Massive debt with the 'we are good for it' promise. Old leadership, lack of a plan for a future. The Starks are more Eastern like traditional China or Japan. Little finger is the commentary on Libertarians. Oberyn Martell might be commentary on liberalism

Spoiler alert! - Tyrion asks Jaime to fight for him but he can't because he's a member of the King's Guard and he can't fight with his left hand anyway. So Jaime sends a raven that somehow finds Brienne in some random location, asking her to fight for Tyrion but Brienne can't abandon her duty to find the Stark girls. Instead the ever loyal Pod returns to King's Landing to be Tyrion's champion. But who will he fight? It didn't say it on the show yet but in the books they mention that the Mountain has that week off and is on vacation in Qarth and therefore unavailable. So instead Cersei gets her cousin/fuck buddy Lancel Lannister to fight for her. Lancel of course is more than willing after the way Tyrion blackmailed him in Season 2. Pod vs. Lancel will be 1 of the best battles of the entire series! The winner will have songs written about how he was the best squire ever in the 7 kingdoms!

Tonight's episode is titled "Mockingbird". That's a good sign for Littlefinger fans. Pretty sure it's going to be another great episode with some great scenes in both King's Landing and The Eyrie.

There was a minor character missing that plays a major role in the final scene. Can't wait to see what they do about that! And yeah what a great episode!

I remember thinking last year how much this show would suck if Joffrey died but it just keeps getting better!

 

[juliansteed]

The Meereen scenes are lame though!

Yea, really sucks that they omitted that element from the Eyrie scene.

Peter Dinklage is a fucking amazing actor. That scene in the dungeon with Tyrion and Oberyn was quite possibly my favorite in the entire series.

Agreed, it was perfect.

that was really well done, you could see the turmoil go through Tyrions face as he was told about that story. just heartbreaking how cruel Cersai has always been to him. Gods I hate her

I was a little surprised by that. The moondoor scene ended a chapter and IIRC was the second to last chapter in the book so they added a character there for more closure. I kinda wish they wouldve kept him there because it makes Littlefinger look more devious and less emotional.

I think he'll still come up with something devious. I'm just not sure what yet. It's definitely going to change things going forward which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I think Marillion made a brief appearance in Season 1 on the road to the Eyrie. He didn't have any lines but I think there was a shot of him playing an instrument. I also recently read that the musician whose tongue Joffrey commanded be removed, was in fact Marillion even though he was nowhere near King's Landing in the books.

He runs a brothel, had a king poisoned, killed the messenger to cover his tracks, had the Hand poisoned, gone off on a diatribe about how chaos is a good thing, had people killed just to "not be predictable," pushed his wife off a ledge to get at an underage princess, and has told us he wants everything and is willing to do anything to get it.

I don't think at this point we doubt his deviousness or his meticulous planning.


As others said, great episode. My quote of the week...
