Something that hasn't been mentioned about this episode: Arya's kill list. Awesome. Loved the way she added on a few more names later. I feel like I might have missed a name though. What were the names she mentioned?
This is by memory, so not 100%: Cersei, Joffrey, The Mountain, Polliver (the interrogator), and I think Jaime was on the list.
EDIT: Ugh, I forgot Ser Ilyn Payne, the dude who actually chopped off Ned's head. And the Hound. I suck.
I didn't think the interrogator was Polliver, I thought he was the tickler.
I don't remember hearing Polliver but I fully understand him being on the list.
"Joffrey. Cersei. Ilyn Payne. The Hound." was the original list (repeated over).
After the woman begs for food and gets beaten she adds "The Mountain."
The woman says "Please, Polliver, just some bread!" and gets clubbed in the face.
Then Arya adds Polliver and the Mountain to the list.
Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Polliver, the Mountain...
I back up my disks to my computer, both for ease of watching and for...well, backup purposes.
While going through all of the chapters on disk 1, I came across two videos with readings - one of Sansa and one of Viserys - where they're practicing lines with what I presume are speaking coaches (and/or it was audition tapes?). I must be stupid or something, but I can't find those in the menus. Were they hidden easter eggs or something?

There were 5 or 6 on the various discs. "Dragon eggs."

Oh, yeah. I never got around to looking for those. Were they at all interesting?
I love how Momoa's is just doing the All Blacks Haka.
That was glorious.
Liked how Maisie and Sophie were given the same scene. It's pretty much the perfect one to show their differences.
edit: and Miltos having to ask for the line was interesting. I hadn't realized that was still a thing people do, especially in auditions. Sophie was the only other one with an issue remembering.
When I read the birthing scene in the book the only thing flashing in my head was "HOW ARE THEY EVEN GOING TO DO THIS IN THE SHOW??" but they actually pulled it off. Harrenhal was really neat too. Too bad about the Mountain, this new guy just has the length and none of the rest of the physical presence of the previous mountain.
Today is apparently Emmy submission day. Dinklage submitted as supporting again, so will not be running into the Cranston buzzsaw.
I'm glad about the latter, but if Dinklage is supporting I don't know who the lead is. Not that there really is one in a show like this, I guess, but isn't he first billed this season?
Regardless, Tyrion's scenes continue to delight.
Oh, and they continue the pattern of having at least one prostitute in damn near every episode.

Yeah, nobody submitted as lead. And Jack Gleason didn't submit at all, which is dumb. He's giving the third best performance so far (Tyrion, obvs, and I think Maisie Williams is #2, though your mileage may vary).

Gleeson really should have, he's probably the most hated villain I've ever seen, and since that's kind of his job that suggests he's freaking killing it.
It's still astounding that Sean Bean didn't get at least a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series last year.
Sure, the show now features even more concurrent intertwined storylines and a growing cast of major characters, but Season 1 was unquestionably all about Ned Stark and heavily showcased Sean Bean's talents. What a shame!
Same. I missed him completely. I miss the old Mountain already.
Count me as another that didn't even notice the Mountain was in this episode. I barely noticed he was big. You have to really be careful filming scenes with big people, the camera can actually make every look closer in size if you are not careful.
*edit* just re-watched his scene. I guess he is tall, but he has none of the menace of the old mountain, and no bulk. His new armor does not suit him at all.
Yeah, like I buy him as evil, but he looks middle-eastern, he kind of reminded me of count dooku, when he should remind me of like a giant wrestler. I mean I guess it shows how hard it is to be big and muscley at that height, Conan Stevens was a freak. Also the armour and chainmail made him look lanky, like it didnt give him any shoulders, also the hat, while fine on regular soldiers, looks downright Knights Who Say Ni on the new Mountain.
I think they could make him work, but I have a feeling that by the time more Mountain scenes come, they may just hire Conan again if he's done with Hobbit filming. At least thats what im hoping
what kind of self respecting city turns away a blonde 10
really
They're probably literate enough to realize that Dany's dark eyebrows are a hint
Luckily Xaro Xhoan Daxos has good taste and likes the brunettes
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.
I noticed a nice touch in the first scene with the Thirteen:
When, er, Merchant-With-The-Name-That-Is-Too-Long-To-State gestures back at them and introduces them as the city's ruling body, Xaro Xhoan Daxos tips his head to Dany.
God the Television Without Pity forums have gotten godawful for game of thrones. They're all gathered around, preaching to each other about how the Joffrey scene was clearly only there to titillate the perverse HBO fanbase and normalize sexual violence. There was also mention of how since the writer for that episode was female, she must've been trying to overcompensate and write things that men wanted to see.
I had to run for it once they started dropping "rape culture" into the conversation. Not because of them talking about rape culture, but because they weren't even defining it vaguely correctly.
Aaaargh. I may be grouchy here sometimes, but goddamn PA forums I do so appreciate your general non-pretentiousness.

The grammar correction made me laugh so hard, since me and my bf have been discussing on a regular basis that exact word usage...
Where is the Margery Tyrell love people??
Did you see that super weirdo dress and her staying calm in the storm of Peter Baelish's smiling verbal barbs?
Rad.
My favorite part was just after she shut him down you could hear one of the soldiers talking in the background say something that sounded remarkably like "heyoooooo!"
HitFix; But some of you have obviously read ahead. How do people resist...
Richard Madden: They don't! Everyone tells you everything. You're like, "Oh come on!" There's a lot of covering your ears in the bar. It's like, "Who's read what? OK! Cover your ears. That's enough.
...
HitFix: When the last book came out in hardcover, who was the first person to get their hands on it? Who was the first person texting you about it?
Richard Madden: Hmmm. Maybe Mr. Harington. He can't put them down. I've constantly got this restraint and I'm like, "Don't. Just don't do it. Don't do it." Whereas Kit, he just went through them like cookies. And now he's like, "Awww. I've got nothing else to read now."
Everyone is justly pissed about the new Mountain -- he's got a kickass voice, though. One of the least important parts about the character, sure. But hey... silver lining?
As for the rest...
Roose Bolton is perfect. As are the Thirteen. One of them, in particular. Cannot say more, yet.
My friend and I looked at each other and we were like, "Oh wow."

As someone who's reading the respective book at the end of each season: Is it the guy on the right here?
He really stood out when I was watching and for some reason I assume he's important.
Ed: It's maybe for the best, actually, that you don't confirm or deny that for the sake of spoilers.
But if he's the perfect one, called it!

Yeah, that's bullshit.
The scene repulsed me. It made my girlfriend cry.
"Rape culture" might have been an apt description if they made it clear that bedpost thing was being inserted into that chick instead of just being used as a crappy paddle. I've seen porn where the girl takes harder shots than that and loves every second of it.

Apparently you had to have the menu open while watching the episodes themselves in order for an icon to appear where you could access them.

That really blows. It's not like you can farm XP in this game anyway, just enforce AFK restrictions like in public games.

No Jon Snow despite ending him on a cliffhanger last episode.
