I figured it was just the name of the joke, like we say a double decker instead of “i took a shit in the tank”.
Has Tywin ever paid any kind of compliment or approval to Tyrion on the show? Cersei has- she acknowledged, albeit privately, his role in saving King’s Landing- but I was trying to think if Tywin’s ever said anything warmer than “I could have drowned you at birth but I didn’t because… family”.
Charles Dance and Jack Gleeson play off each other well, and the show’s costumers/stylists do a great job of making them look alike (which is good since Tywin is Joffrey’s maternal and paternal grandfather).
There was the scene where he named Tyrion acting Hand of the King. He acknowledged that Tyrion was pretty smart.
From the musical Season 4 premiere sometime in spring 2014:
Easteros is East
and Westeros is West
and the wrong one I have chose!
Let’s go where a Dany
can still be Targaryeny
with dragons and eunuchs and bare breasts and slaves
mercenaries and treasures and bare breasts and slaves.
Martin drops some “spoilers” about the upcoming season. (It’s safe to watch.)
She’s from the north. She didn’t realize that it’s the same word as “shite.”
I think that’s spelled “from oop norf” 
I stand corrected, then. But was I the only one who didn’t notice the direwolves looked large (I did notice the dead one at the beginning, but for the other emples mentioned and linked too, I didn’t). Maybe they should have emphasized it, for instance with someone standing besides one in a clear shot and maybe a comment about its size being made…
In the scene where the animal was being killed at Frey’s, they might, for example, have the executioners shooting straight ahead, or, even, up, to emphasize the size. Or, had the enclosure almost destroyed from within before the fatal bolts are fired.
Regarding the books… Yes, I know, but there’s nowhere else where I could post that.
I noticed in other non-spoiled comments that a number of people had read the first book after the first season, the second book after the second one, and intend to read the third book now.
I don’t know if some posters here intend to do the same, but I wanted to warn them that the third season only covered part of the third book (two thirds, maybe) and what hasn’t been covered include some important events that, I assume, will be shown at the begining of the season 4. You’ve been warned. (Besides, IMHO, the show is better than the books)
What books?

What’s weird is that the fourth book from the Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series actually covers season three of AMC’s The Walking Dead. As you can imagine, this caused some hellacious lawsuits, resolved only when the showrunners and writers agreed to let The Governor wed one of Walder Frey’s granddaughter, Flying Wallenda, and Darryl to marry Cersei, Arya, Shae, and Loras in a new Big Love spinoff.
Or perhaps he suddenly remembered what he was up to during Blackwater.
Pretty good, but you have to work the word incest in there somewhere, besides Dragons it’s what the Targaryens are know for.
Interesting side by side pics of characters:actors. Some look exactly the same of course (Charles Dance, Richard Madden) but it’s interesting seeing others out of the wigs and costumes and makeup (Sandor “The Hound” Clegane and Sam for instance), and Cersei is unrecognizable in street clothes.
Emelia Clarke (Dany) is so much prettier with her natural, darker, hair color.
The picture of Kit Harrington looks like they just took a picture of Jon Snow and photoshopped regular clothes on him. Or vice versa.
“You know nothing about tie clips, Kit Harrington.”
Not really, that’s just a bad picture. Lena Headey always looks just like Lena Headey, whether it’s Game of Thrones, 300, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Imagine Me & You, whatever.
I agree–Dany is hot, but Emilia Clarke is gorgeous with the darker hair.
