Also Ser Merynt Trant heading over to Braavos with Mace Tyrell - am thinking Arya may end up ticking off a name on her kill list.

remind me why she wants to kill him?

[fred quimby]

Was he involved in Neds death

[bunique]

Was the Faith Militant thing all set up by Cersei to rid herself of the Tyrells? I'm looking forward to granny Tyrell making a reappearance

He smacks Sansa one and forces her gaze on the orders of Joff so as she has to look at Neds Dead Head on a stick. Wasn't Aryra present for such in the crowd? I think?..............

He was the one that led the other guard when Syrio (dancing teacher) was attacked and killed. Not sure Arya knows some of the other reasons given.

Quick, you call the BBC quiz commissioner and I'll ressurrect Alan Coren (any excuse to meet his lovely daughter!)

Next week's episode is looking like it's going to be a cracker.

What do you all think Jorah's role is going to be in this series. He was one of my preferred characters previously. Is he going to come good? or die soon?

I'm loving Jorah's apparent logic: "I'll bring her a dwarf. Bitches love dwarfs."

I reckon his storyline will overtake the books and he'll get Tyrion to Dany, then maybe she'll punish him for defying her exile. Maybe dragon toast.

[Winslow Leach]

Arming the Faith Militant was such a staggeringly stupid move on Cersei's part that I actually felt a tiny glimmer of sympathy for her. She really is an appalling chess player.

Stannis has the honour of Ned Stark

Ned Stark wouldn't have burnt men alive for not abandoning their ancient religions to follow his new fad motivated by the foreign totty he's currently nailing behind his wife's back.

And if he was to face his brother in battle, he'd have done so in battle. He wouldn't have sent assassins after his brother any more than he'd send them after Targaryen children.

Certainly Stannis thinks he's as honourable as Ned Stark, when it's easy to do so, but when push-comes-to-shove he is a coward and a bully.

To be fair he was the first up the siege ladders at King's Landing.

[Wooderson]

He was the one that led the other guard when Syrio (dancing teacher) was attacked and *his whereabouts remain subject to debate*. Not sure Arya knows some of the other reasons given.

[viberunner]

To be fair he was the first up the siege ladders at King's Landing.

And the first to run away when the Dwarf-led locals put up a fight.

[justanothername]

Great episode! Really loved it and it did give Stannis the characterisation he needed (but he was my favourite out of the three candidates anyway). Also loving the story with the faith militant so far and I'm really intrigued by it but I can't handle both Ser Barristan and Grey Worm dying, they were both my favourite characters in Dany story so if one of them could make it that be great.

Didn't he have to be dragged away by his troops?

[viberunner]

"Troops".

Onion smugglers and men more at home going to battle 5-to-1 against spice merchants.

[Spindles]

I love that we can disagree so strongly about fictional characters, mark of the quality of the work.

It's a fair point about his having been so easily swayed by Smelly Sandra and succumbed to her wiles. I guess the only person truly with the honour of Ned Stark is Jon Snow.

It would appear so, but I see Cersei as far more complex a schemer than that - I reckon her (actual) plan is probably much further down the road.

That's what I thought. Her cousin is one of the sparrows isn't he?

[t8yman]

Yes, he was the one was biting down on the belt having his head carved.

What ep number was it last night? As I watched the first 4 when then leaked
