    Oh, the other thing I really appreciated in this episode -
    Renly and Loras's makeout scene and them actually seeming really into it. There's been no shortage of scenes in movies and TV shows where straight actors are playing gay and are really obviously uncomfortable the whole time, it was nice to see that in both acting and directing they weren't shying away from it.

    Also it was pretty hilarious watching Renly look like he was about to gag when he was with Margaery. Ooh, poor Renly.

    Yeah,
    not being able to stomach even fake making out with a girl that hot is how you know you're pretty gay.

    Approximately 5.5 Decaliberaces, or 107 Ferries if you prefer Imperial measures of gayness.

    I swear this sounds funny right now, maybe that's only because I can't sleep...

    Basically, he looked the way you'd expect a straight guy to look who's just been told that it's politically necessary to go have sex with a dude.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    It's been impressive. I was following another thread on a different message board, and by about day 4 they had spoiled almost all of season 1. The dicks are out there. Beyond the wall.

    So, there is a new actor playing Loras, right? Because I swear that is not the same guy. Also, he seems to be less Dashing Knight with a touch of Faaaabulous, and more spoiled douche now.

    Pretty sure it's still Finn Jones.

    Also, I assume Margaery is doing a Daenerys and and gaining a good 5 years on her book self? I was under the impression she was much younger in the books.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    They could probably help you with that question about the "book age" of the characters in the Game of Thrones book chat thread.

    For instance, I wouldn't know how to answer your inquiry myself. *hoists up suspenders and spits* I'm not one of those high-fallutin' readers.

    At some point I'd love for Theon to start calling his dad on some of the "we're Iron Men, we're hardcore" bullshit. "The Wolves have made you soft"- Well they were hard enough to completely roll the Iron Islands and slaughter your two warrior sons.

    Also seems like that whole Iron Price spiel tends to get forgotten whenever the Iron Islands getting put down in their rebellion comes up in conversation, not to mention that Balons idea of paying the Iron Price for his crown is to avoid fighting anybody dangerous at all costs so he can raid old men, women and children. Basically seems like the Iron Islands are inhabited by a nation of douche bags and pansies who like to talk big because they come from a place with a cool name.

    By constantly talking up the iron price and killing easy targets, it makes you appear more powerful than you actually are.

    This episode was so much better than the last one. One of the most all-around solid episodes of the show yet. Things moved along at a brisk pace without feeling rushed. Lots of juicy characterization. And none of the nudity seemed gratuitous.

    I love Tyrion in this part of the story so much.

    Didn't he basically do just that, and that's why he got hit?

    I liked how he disseminated conflicting information to flush to see what would leak, and which member of the council was a spy for his sister. Clever, clever, clever.

    He's like the anti-Ned Stark. Knows exactly how to play the game and cut right through the bullshit.

    True that.

    It was interesting to see even Jon Snow completely screw things up thanks to his own inherent Stark-ness. That Stark moral compass will get you in trouble every time, it seems.

    Dany is the one smokin'. Litterally at times.

    Marge is pretty but with Dany firmly in mind from last season, its like holding a really pretty candle up to compare to a bonfire.

    Even Mesi has looks to stoke the fire better.

    Margarey's actress was the only reason I was interested in The Tudors at all... my attention waned in later seasons after Anne Bolyn arrived at her historical fate. She was amazing in this scene.

    Fun fact: Natalie Dormer was also the blonde lady that hits on Cap in the Captain America movie.

    "We can get my brother in here or I can put on some wigs or turn around or something. Man whatever gets the job done, you have my support."

    I love how game she is. We probably find out in the next episode that she likes girls more anyway, so they're both playing against type for this whole heir nonsense.
    Okay, I just hope we find out that she likes girls more, and then there's a 10 minute sexposition scene of her with her handmaidens. :winky: So sue me.

    Wow, that was a great episode..my favorite one this season so far. Tyrion being awesome as usual.
    I did not see Theon betraying the Starks coming. Really, really shocking..I'm already looking forward to when he meets Robb or Brann on the field, that's bound to be fantastic.
    Also, looks like things won't be going so smoothly for Arya and Blacksmith McBastardface. Guess Arya just walking casually home to Winterfell would've been too easy.

    Also, Renly's wife doesn't seem to mind that her husband doesn't want to bone her..like, at all. Totally cool with it. A threesome with her brother? Sure, why not!
    I don't get why she's willing to put up with all that..I'm guessing she's hoping to be queen when Renly conquers King's Landing? I don't know.

    ding ding ding

    Littlefinger knows that Renly's gay, so there's a decent chance it's widely talked about court gossip. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that he's married to Margaery, and if that marriage produces a male heir both their holds on power will be made secure. Stannis has no sons; if Renly can get himself a son before his brother, he will be a much more attractive prospect.

    Because power is a trick, you see.
