103. Right from the beginning I thought Baelish was going to be trouble

He creeps me out way more than Varys who never did creep me out at all. That speech he gave about chaos being a ladder seriously gave me the creepy crawlies about him. I thought Varys was dead right when he said that Baelish would burn all of Westeros to the ground if he could be king of the ashes.

It also grosses me out how easily he transferred his lust to Sansa from her mother after the red wedding. He always seems so anti-sexual except when he looks at Sansa. It's so apparent to me that even as naive as she is I'm baffled that she can't see it.

I hope we get the reception NobodyHere Apr 2014 #1

I've not missed a single episode and really like GOT, but... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #2

If you get lost with the TV cast... NobodyHere Apr 2014 #3

well, if I'd read the books, the tv show cast would certainly be easier... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #4

And, if you read the books NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #9

The books are really complex, but a very engrossing read. Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #12

at least the books have a listing of the characters in the back of each one TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #14

There's a Wiki that will help with that Ron Obvious Apr 2014 #6

thanks.. I'll check it out. hlthe2b Apr 2014 #10

I had to watch all 3 seasons several times to get everything straight TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #17

I've got a feeling the reception will be next week. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #5

If you read next week's description NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #7

Ooooh. How delicious. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #8

I don't think so - there's only 10 episodes TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #15

i think they are doing a good job so far rudolph the red Apr 2014 #42

I'm curious at what point this season will end TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #46

the last couple books kind of plod along and intrduce characters rudolph the red Apr 2014 #47

I think Martin made a mess of books 4 and 5 TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #50

I agree with what you wrote NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #70

Yep. Martin's obviously just milking it at this point. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #87

If Martin was milking it NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #88

Just because he's slow doesn't mean he's not milking it. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #89

How's the pie? Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #11

I always cry at weddings. Finally one I could cheer for. -nt Liberal Veteran Apr 2014 #21

Shame a few others didn't drink from the cup. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #22

people will be dropping like flies throughout this season TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #55

I hope the pace is a good one. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #63

doesn't look like it TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #85

I think I'm going to decorate my kitchen in the colors of Joffrey's face. Baitball Blogger Apr 2014 #23

They did dead well. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #29

So, who poisoned Joffrey? Baitball Blogger Apr 2014 #24

Those of us who read the books know who poisoned him. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #27

We think we do, anyway. n/t PoliticAverse Apr 2014 #52

It was made very apparent in the book TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #53

I think it was who escorted Tyrion's wife out of there just before Joffrey B Calm Apr 2014 #62

nope TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #79

I thought the book left open the possibility that the person who gave it away was lying. PoliticAverse Apr 2014 #72

I know! Solly Mack Apr 2014 #30

next week's show should provide a good clue, rudolph the red Apr 2014 #43

it wasn't the pie TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #44

That was the greatest ending of an episode in the history of tv. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #25

I have it recorded NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #28

Yes. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #32

Yes. nt siligut Apr 2014 #33

Yes. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #35

I do too. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #38

She's fabulous TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #56

They've done a great job with her NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #61

Yes. She made a remark about how often it was played. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #37

This season is going to be the best yet. bravenak Apr 2014 #82

I always did rather like Cercei in a lot of ways TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #83

I was just saying this last night! bravenak Apr 2014 #84

I'm guessing that comes near the end TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #80

Tywin was disappointing this episode rudolph the red Apr 2014 #45

Tywin is trying to make nice with the Dornish TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #49

I guess i just wanted too see the regular Tywin rudolph the red Apr 2014 #51

Actually, this is the first time that he wasn't doing verbal battle TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #58

Tywin is a crafty politician NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #60

He didn't rise to the bait (death of children) - which is like him. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #65

well said NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #66

Pride can make a person oblivious to danger. Solly Mack Apr 2014 #68

I think most people that read the book NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #86

Is it just me distantearlywarning Apr 2014 #76

I don't understand why people are filming other people watching tv. Vashta Nerada Apr 2014 #77

Well, book readers knew what was coming NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #78

Was book Stanis as big of a dick as he is in the show? Mike Daniels Apr 2014 #90

In some ways I thought book Stannis was more of an ass TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #102

I'm not sure about her, either NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #107

Penny The Philosopher Apr 2014 #91

It looks like the show isn't going to have Penny TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #92

I read about that NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #93

I figured they wouldn't be able to use a real dog or pig TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #95

In the books The Philosopher Apr 2014 #94

actually, I really didn't like much how Martin used the character TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #96

I agree on Penny NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #97

Tywin was never on her list TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #100

Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, aka Sansa Stark, on Joffrey’s Death and Why He’s Like Bieber jakeXT Apr 2014 #98

good article NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #99

Finally saw the episode last night NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #101

Right from the beginning I thought Baelish was going to be trouble TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #103

I knew he was trouble NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #104

Huh, interesting TorchTheWitch Apr 2014 #105

My guess NewJeffCT Apr 2014 #106

Funny, I think it's going the other way. cemaphonic Apr 2014 #108
