Sword in the Night

Hi everyone, fan of the forums and first time poster. The show introduced me to the books and I've been hooked ever since. This episode was one of my favourites and I really liked how the pace of everything is starting to pick up more. Also been really curious as to how D&D were going to handle Theon's scenes this season since it really is sort of new territory that they're adapting but the "my real father lost his head in kings landing" line really stuck a chord. I'm still reading ADWD and really enjoying Theon's chapters but its nice to see in his in real time his moment of revelation of "oh shit, i really fucked up here" As for Brienne's comment, I just chalked it up to the hegemonic masculinity that was the prevailing viewpoint of the times. People definitely did feel that men were superior to women, at least in terms of fighting (look at all the abuse Brienne takes for being a woman), so Brienne probably thought it was the best thing to say to get Jaime back on track. Its easy to see it as sexism now, but I don't think it was meant to be construed that way. Also, Dracarys!!!!! :bowdown:
