I 'follow' the books, so to speak. I know what goes on in them, to say the least, and the general points of difference, but in terms of inner deep workings, well, I've not read them, so I couldn't say.
I'd like to read them eventually, but right now I'm reading enough books for my A2 English Literature class.
They've regained so much good will they lost from me last season. I guess this episode was slower, but I got to see so many scenes I've been waiting for and the ones they've invented have been really great as well. I've been waiting for another Littlefinger/Varys Iron Throne-side chat!
You do get the feeling that Varys has been a lot more important this season. Last episode, you get Varys with a victory - getting the sorcerer back. Now you get him played by Littlefinger and having his spy brutally murdered. Despite this setback, I wouldn't rule Varys out yet.
Btw, Iwan Rheon makes some great faces.
My excuse for a gif dump.

trout. Jon sounds like Bronn! Better call him Tony Snow!
And if they called him Tony Snow and he inherited his father's lands, he would become Tony Stark.
Kinda in agreement that it was a much slower episode. I found the ending very cheesy with the standing on the ledge holding each other and looking out thing. Gutted about Ros. Interesting to watch Tyrion and Cersei have the longest conversation I can remember them ever having.
Our satellite reception got choppy when Gendry went on about "I thought we were brothers" and so forth and then Melisandre said something to him. Could someone fill me in with that little bit of script? =o
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It was something along the lines of "You are more important than they will ever be. They are just soldiers in the war, but you will make kings rise and fall." With that same expression that makes you want to punch her right in the tit.
If I want to watch Tywin talk with anyone more, I'd personally go for the ol' lady Tyrell. Anyone who is happy to personally interrogate him over whether or not he sucks dick has more balls than anyone else in the kingdom as far as I'm concerned. They could be the geriatric buddy movie. Maybe more of a sitcom.
Beyond that: Bran & Hodor. But Tyrion and Bronn would easily better any of the other options, really.
EDIT: I would love to watch a sitcom version of Game of Thrones. It has all the hallmarks to cover a lot of laughs. Multiple awkward families with snippy elderly people, idiot youths, moody children, etc? Hell, The Lannisters could be a sitcom all on their own. It could be done in the style of Blackadder or something.
