Oh, weird, guess I wasn’t paying attention. I just saw the image on the screen and assumed it was Dragonstone since she works for Stannis.
Jaime did learn a lesson about overplaying his position.
She empathises with the slaves because she was sold off to Drogo against her will.

As did I, and clearly many others. Jaime never even looked at the guy like he wanted revenge. It kinda bugged me, since Jaime was willing to use his hostage situation to win any number of negotiations - why not throw the guy into the pit and say “really? are you going to kill me and incur the wrath of Tywin?”

While they’re afraid to touch Jaime any more than they already have, they probably also know that Tywin doesn’t really give two hoots in hell about Brienne and if he tossed his maimer into the bear pen they could still take revenge on her and take him back to King’s Landing as a relatively defenseless prisoner.

In particular Yunkai seems like a distraction, although 200,000 freed slaves would strengthen her army.

Except you’d have to feed them.
Is anyone else losing interest with this approach. I’m sure that season 2 had less simultaneous plots but more happened in each one each episode. They better start to tie some of these together or resolve some of them or just drop some, I just don’t see how you can keep viewer interest when each plot moves forward so little each episode.
Hoping the last three episodes will tie some things together then.
Care to be more specific? I have no interest in sitting through an hour-and-a-half video in the hopes of a random Tywin sighting.
Is it weird i found myself thinking “you know, Joffrey is actually right”?
The first one that needs to go is the fat guy and the chick with the new baby. It’s all just too much to keep track of week to week. I still don’t know who quite a few of the characters even are, and I’ve been watching this from the beginning.
The link starts right on Charles Dance.
Odd, the link was supposed to go to 1:25:00 in the video.
Book related, but too general to be a spoiler: however much a problem you think this is in the miniseries, it’s worse in the books, AND he keeps adding new major characters. By Season 10 the HBO series will have more cast members than all other shows on HBO combined.

You know it absolutely shocking. We knew that a time would come when somebody from the lannisters would get the better of Tywin. I just did not think it would be Joffery "if she really has dragons, we are* fucked* Baratheon.
As for the Robb storyline, please less man-ass and more Chaplin-ass. Much more Chaplin-ass.
What do you think he’s right about?
There’s no rule saying you have to do what the OP says. But people in this thread generally think it’s awfully rude to make any kind of comparison with the books whatsoever. Just a heads up…
That Dany and her dragons are actually a threat that they should be a lot more worried about.
some trivia - Charles Dance and Julian Glover were both in a James Bond movie, For your eyes only. Glover had a pretty big role, Dance was a minor character.
Yeah, I thought everything he had concerns about (meeting locations, dragons) was legit.
What is the Small Council anyhow? Is it something that the Hand of the King is supposed to chair or is this something that the king himself attended? If it’s the Hand’s meetings, then he needs a regular meeting with the Hand to keep up. But if it’s something that the king normally attended, then it’s on him to plan the meetings for a time and place of his choosing. And Joffrey’s excuse why he hadn’t been going to the meetings was weak, “The king’s attention is needed for all sort of matters.” Basically he knows that if he goes to those meetings he’s going to look like a boy playing at being king, which is really what he is. As it is, the only reason he met with Tywin in the throne room was to look down on him.
+12 for wanting to see Jaime shove Locke (?) into the pit. I think he restrained himself because it would have started a fight, and the men taking Jaime home were outnumbered.
I’m also thinking Talisa is a spy, but I’m wondering why she’s continuing to spy. She’s already fucked things up for Robb by marrying him. That’s all she needed to do.
Got it. He may be correct, but not for any particularly good reason. Moreover, I didn’t have the impression that Tywin actually doesn’t think Dany is a threat, rather, I percieved some spin in the way he was talking about it, such that he was trying to avoid giving Joffrey the chance to do something foolish. In other words, I thought he was rhetorically downplaying the threat to keep Joffrey from trying to deal with the threat, because he basically doesn’t expect Joffrey to be able to deal with the threat effectively.
