    Really enjoying their musings this week! Only one person so far thinks it will be The Mountain and Oberyn!

    And that's just because they noticed it in one of the season 4 previews. Looks like tv viewers have a lot of surprises coming.

    The last 3 episodes of this season are going to be phenomenal. I think next week will be a bit crap (presumably Bran & co will have to be revisited) but it's all going to kick off then!

    Am I getting mixed up or did they use the same text as the letter John Snow gets much later on?

    Anyway good episode for the most part. Looks like Tywin is sending a letter to Dany and presumably this will be how the beans get spilled about Jorah.

    * edit and bloody hell that song yet again

    Amazing last 20 minutes. Cant wait for the fight even more now!! didnt realise it wasnt till two episodes time though. :(
    One thing that slightly, well maybe not annoyed me but..I'd like to see Reek really looking like sh*t. White skin, teeth missing, covered in dog sh*t. He still looks a bit too clean and beefed up for me. Maybe have a few protruding cgi rib bones sticking out!! :)
    Also ramsey fighting with no armour. I'm not having that!! As he was going to open the cage door i thought "Go on, now's your chance!!He's put his knives away..lob his arm off!!"
    Anyway, next four episodes should be class... bring it on!!!

    From the non-readers thread regarding the trial by combat...
    There's no way it's going to be the mountain, he isn't even in kings landing.

    Hehehehehehehehehehe, can't wait!!

    Peter Dinklage was phenomenal in that episode.

    It was heartbreaking watching Tyrion see Shae walk into the court.

    Dinklage was excellent..as usual!

    Episode 8 is titled "The Mountain And The Viper" least we know whats going to happen that episode.

    Not a very subtle title, is it? I mean if a non-reader stumbled across that at the start of the season it would be a bit of a spoiler.

    Back on topic, thought it was a very good episode.

    -Dany's storyline moving along at a fair old pace and the show is finally addressing the fact that ruling a city is harder than capturing one.

    -The whole Yara bit seemed to only be there to remind everyone who she was and set up some future conflict between the Ironborn and the Bolton men. Her escape was very convenient.

    -Braavos looks nice. Davos is useful as a smuggler and a PR agent!:D

    And of course Dinklage continues to kill it. That speech could well be his tape for the Emmys. Can't wait for next week!

    Am I the only one slightly peeved by Yara retreating from the Dreadfort so easily?

    It was either retreat or die because the whole Dreadfort garrison was about to land on them. The alarm had been sounded in the castle.

    Knowing when to retreat to save your men is the mark of a good commander.

    One minute Ramsey is opening the cage, the next minute Yara is at the boats after outrunning the hounds and the whole of the dreadfort. She's a flyer!

    No point showing her walking all the way back through the castle and down their rope lines is there?

    If they'd actually shown that people would say; 'They didn't need to show that...we could have figured out how she got out ourselves'.

    Curse them for making Oberyn such a likeable badass!!

    Also, has he changed costume this season or does he just always wear yellow?

    The trial was done brilliantly, loved the look Oberyn gave when Tyrion said trial by combat.

    ****e episode, very uncomfortable watching Tyrion suffer, Drogon scene was awesome though, the bath scene was creepier than the rape scene a few weeks ago. I am losing my patience with this show.

    Ah here, that was probably the best episode, not just this season, in the entire show!

    It was the Dreadfort, she sailed around Westeros and rowed up the Weeping Water to it.

    Great episode.

    Really enjoyed Tywin tricking Jaime, straight in to 'DONE' on Jaimes offer to give up the Kings Guard, then telling him he's sending Tyrion to the Wall.

    The whole trial was brilliant. I didn't feel Shaes betrayal as strongly as I did on the books tho.

    Bit disappointed at Yaras attack on the Dreadfort. I just don't find Ramsay that believable, too pantomimey. I noticed Alfie Allen in great shape when he should be in bits alright.

    Danys story is more boring onscreen than I thought it would be, I hope they speed up her timeline.

    I think the TV show had a lot more Shae arguing and being ignored by Tyrion, as if that was the reason she did it. As far as I remember, the book they got on better up to the trial and it's purely because she was bribed which was talked about after the trial

    He hasn't left for Moat Cailin yet, he's sending Theon to bring terms to the Ironborn there just as he does in the books.

    Plus, Yara couldn't have sailed to Moat Cailin.

    What do people think, will this be LS avenging the Stark children or will it be about the Lannister children and Tyrion killing Tywin?

    Not really, Bran does feck all in ADWD, he has 2 chapters before he's inside with blood raven, one of which is now basically impossible to put in because there's no coldhands.

    My point isnt that they didnt show her escape, my point is there is no way in seven hells she would have out run a pack of hounds in a castle/fort she didnt know her way around. They jumped from her standing in the kennels beside the dogs, about to be unleashed, to her getting on the boats with the sound of barking in the background. It was pretty unbelievable in fairness.

    That was my favourite episode this season. I'm half sorry I read the books last year so it's good when they depart a bit from them.
