I keep forgetting to post this for weeks, but it still tickles me now and then... when watching Game of Thrones with Secura, upon the steampunk cog introduction, she goes "What is the spinny thing hovering over the world?"

I couldn't stop laughing, and gave her a look going "Are you serious?".

'Plots and schemes are the same thing...'

Anybody catch that line? It made me .

Excellent episode. For once no dull moments at all. All the scenes were quite good.

Arya's story is getting better by the day and I'm looking forward to more of her scenes with Tywin Lannister. Did the little girl make him uncomfortable by staring?

In the books Jamie tells a story about how Tywin Lannister ruined a man's evening by just staring at him throughout dinner. And here we have Arya looking at him right in the eyes until he asks her to 'fetch the water'!!

Then there's the Night Watch. Somehow I always thought that the Fist of the First Men was supposed to be in the middle of a forest. Never imagined it to be a cold desert kind of place. Still we'll get to see Ygritte soon.
And finally for a change I liked the parts with Daenerys in this episode. Emilia Clarke is looking prettier then ever, and more importantly Jorah Mormont is finally set to take a bigger role.

Centuries come and go without a person like that coming into the world. There are times when I look at you and I still can't believe you're real.

I guess someone forgot to tell him you don't lay it on so thick on the first date.

Edit:
It does appear they've done away with the part where they send Myrcella to Dorne altogether. Pity because it was a perfect opportunity to see Joffery get 'impslapped' again.

Hey, I did elaborate saying I knew it was supposed to be the sun, I wanted to know what all the spinning rings around it had to do with anything!

So it's basically official that you two are together? Oh dear, now if I peeve off one of you I get the wrath of two mods!

Friends only and friends it will stay.

Er, whoops, I didnt mean to be rude. It's hard enough to read people's relationships even with eye contact. Sorry.

I believe it's a fancy orrery is it not?

That is what I was looking for, I was trying to explain it but the name kept eluding me.

Saying about how it was going into the Steampunk theme of the opening credits, and how it is for astrophysical instruments which are used in the theme based on antiquity (meaning Orrery). Then it went off-topic with Secura asking "What does Steampunk have to do with Game of Thrones?", then I just gave up with my face in my palms. (Answer being, HBO just did it for the Lulz because it looked good.)

So latest episode. It's amazing how they can manage so many 'funny' scenes despite the story being so grim.
We finally see Ned Stark's 'pass the sentence, swing the sword' thing at work. And both beheading scenes were in stark contrast with the one in the first episode of season one. Ned Stark wins the executioner award, hands down.
Scenes full of win were the ones at Kings Landing (seeing Joffery slapped never gets old, and Sandor Clegane playing the hero), Tywin and Arya (she's quickly shaping up to be a new favourite, unlike in the books) and Jon and Ygritte (going to be good for a few laughs as long as Ygritte is alive).
Aside from that, Catelyn throws a monkey wrench just when the King in the North is trying to score, wouldn't have been surprised had Robb gone, "Mommm! Please!".

Great episode, but the riot scene annoyed me. Would have been better had they been on horses.

Also Ygritte looks exactly how I imagined her to be. Great scene.

Also Theon's scenes were not very good, IMO. Except for when Theon chopped off the head of Ser Rodrik.
