Twenty of House Goodmen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 completely agree with this! that relationship seems to be deteriorating fast.Perhaps it's because Davos might abandon him in the next book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Book Pod's never really in any danger. Seems to totally miss Cersei and Tywin's radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsyao Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 When I saw Dany riding her horse in the episode, it again remind me how much I hate this character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newstar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Book Pod's never really in any danger. Seems to totally miss Cersei and Tywin's radar. He could be, and even the possibility that Pod might be at risk due to his association with Tyrion never seems to occur to Book Tyrion either way.

pantouflas Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Either Tywin goes back on his word (which would be kind of ridiculous considering that he just made the offer like two days earlier), or they're going to have Oberyn become champion because he's convinced by Saint Tyrion's goodness and innocence.Uhm, Tywin never said he is going to *kill* the Mountain. So then ,during the trial, Oberyn assumes Tywin offers him the chance to kill the Mountain, like he promised. It would make sense for Tywin, he kills two birds with one stone - acquitting his son Tyrion and keeping his promise to Oberyn.Tywin, on the other hand, who doesn't care too much about his son, is ok with whatever outcome the trial has :) Either his enemy Oberyn is killed on his own accord, or he comes out happy because he got his revenge. The perfect strategy, right? What did I miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Well, the possibility never comes up because it's highly unlikely. After all, no one bothers to question him about Tyrion, or to try and get him to testify against Tyrion. He's just a boy that most people think is a lackwit because he can barely talk.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 TV Tommen is...interesting. Despite being older, he still seems easily manipulated by Tywin...although, to be fair, Tywin was not wrong in anything that he said. I actually loved his speech about what it's needed to be a good king, even though I think he invented one King (Onys?). One wonders why didn't he give it to Cersei before she went to marry Robert.

Raksha 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Could Littlefinger be creeping any closer to Sansa? :ack: And why did he throw the necklace onto Dontos' body? Does he want Sansa blamed for Joffrey's death for all time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Joe of House Targaryen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You think Aiden Gillen, after being in the last Batman movie, saw Bale's performance and thought "Aha! Thats what Littlefinger needs!"? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsyao Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 In the book , there was long build up about the Ser Dontos and Sansa, and it explaisn why Sansa trusted him and escaped with him immediate after the death of the Joffery, but in the TV show, these two just met, it is not very believable that Sansa will go with Dontos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newstar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I actually loved his speech about what it's needed to be a good king, even though I think he invented one King (Onys?). The idea that Tywin just made up a king on the spot in service of his point is awesome. I love it. Well, the possibility never comes up because it's highly unlikely. After all, no one bothers to question him about Tyrion, or to try and get him to testify against Tyrion. He's just a boy that most people think is a lackwit because he can barely talk. I guess the problem is that Book Tyrion never even turns his mind to these things, if only to dismiss them. It never occurs to him to think of Pod...just as Brienne later realizes that Tyrion neglected Pod's training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Bean Corbray Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I actually loved his speech about what it's needed to be a good king, even though I think he invented one King (Onys?). One wonders why didn't he give it to Cersei before she went to marry Robert. To quote King Robert re: Jon Arryn. "it's not his fault I didn't listen." While Cersei probably at least listened to Tywin's lecture series on Political Science she seems to have misinterpreted the message/drawn the wrong conclusions. To Tywin's enduring chagrin.

Obebb Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 My initial thoughts: Mole's Town really doesn't seem safer than Castle Black to be honest :uhoh:The Thenns creep me out so much.I really liked the scene where Sansa escapes, it was exactly as I imagined it!Did not like the Jaime/Cersei scene in the sept. That was like rape. No. Bad change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Creepy!Littlefinger is back! This both excites me and disturbs me all at the same time. The episode fell pretty flat for me. Even the Hound and Arya was kind of flat. Davos/Shireen, the Wildling raid and the siege of Meereen minus the show down with the champion (which felt really anticlimactic to me) kind of sort of saved it. I'm going to pretend that horrific Jaime/Cersei scene did not happen. And I finally get it StanStans. I really do. His portrayal is making me want to hit my head against the wall too. Start off for the wall already, geez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Green Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 And why did he throw the necklace onto Dontos' body? Does he want Sansa blamed for Joffrey's death for all time? He's not planning on anybody finding the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
