I'm hoping for an explanation of the Brotherhood this episode. I'm sure the non readers have forgotten about Dondarrion and his charge.

Another pointless sex scene that takes 10 minutes outta the episode LEFT OUT would be appreciated.

I can't wait for that Shadow to wreak some havoc.

I think Tywin is going to be nice towards Arya and explain to her that he doesn't hate northerners, and that is why she wont have him killed

There will be blood.

Can't help but wonder how much they will change at Harrenhal. If Arya is cupbearer to Tywin she won't be kicked around by the kitchen staff, right? Perhaps the first two she will ask to be murdered will be the Tickler and Polliver?

Why did they say the brotherhood instead of Lord Beric?

Didn't the Brotherhood form when Robert and Ned were killed?

Brotherhood Without Banners but its only mentioned for the firs time in book 3 of 4, the Tickler asks for Beric by name.

I hope they'll explain more about the Brotherhood this episode. My non-reader roommate was really confused about that part and I'm guessing she can't be the only one.
Something seems different about Harrenhall. I wonder if they'll change the three names?
And I'm curious when we'll get to see the Goat.

Why's Jaquen talking in first person at the beginning?

I know, right?  :angry:   A man should speak as a man was written to speak.  Fans loved it.  This girl loved it.  It is known.

Torrhen's Square is under attack! Surely at some point they are going to introduce wildfire and explain what it is and the significance of it? Another "The Iron throne is mine" speech from Dany to be expected.

Would Tywin really not know who Arya is, I mean, obviously he's probably not seen her before, can he not tell she's more highborn than the other's she was with? He noticed straight away that she was a girl, I just wonder if he would have an inkling of who she was? Or does he still think Cersei has her at K?

Her speech would probably give her away if he has her talking a lot. Differences like m'lord and my lord can give away one's social status.

But the show will probably overlook that so they can get some good dialogue. Tywin probably thinks Cersei has her. I think most of the people forgot about Arya since she wasn't at the tournies and in the courtroom like Sansa.

Not cast this season.  I'm guessing we'll see him next year though.  Surely they won't pass up the opportunity to bring to life one of the best lines from the books...

Is it just me, or does miss Targaryen's eye brows change colour between scenes?

I guess it is time for Tyrion to see to the defences of King's Landing. So an introduction of wildfire is in order, hopefully mentioning the fact that the magic seems to be working better of late (thanks to the dragons). What's equally important is Tyrion ordering the chain from the smiths.
