Yes. Fantastic final scene.

Is the Purple Wedding next week? It seemed they showed some scenes from next week and it was part of it. Hmmm.

Also, what the hell happened to the old Daario?

Not sure why he was recast but I like the new one better.

ahhh that totally stumped me, it's hard enough to keep track of all the characters. I thought maybe I was just confused about who Daario was.

No doubt. I kept asking myself who the hell he was and where the Fabio-looking dude with the jacked up teeth went?

I was confused as well.

Did anyone read "A man's gotta have a code" as an homage to the same thing Bunk said about Omar on The Wire?

Yes, I did.

Didn't bother me. I couldn't remember what last season's actor looked like.

Well....

(don't read below if you know what's good for you, serious spoliers)

Spoiler: show

I think it's certainly possible, especially given the episode's title ("The Lion and the Rose"); I mean, I know he's not a Lannister, but it's still on his sigil. The title of episode three makes me think it's going to be very Dany-centric, and the next "Lannister-y" titled episode isn't really until Episode 5, and I don't think they can put it off for that long.

Please no spoilers from the books....there's a thread for that!

Also, nice recap of last night's epi here: http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/game-of-th ... ere-recap/

Best moment from last night's episode. The Starks live on!

Loved oberyn

The only thing I don't like about that casting is that he looks too small. Accent works, the vibe and attitude of the character is perfect, but for upcoming plot points involving him I had envisioned a bigger, more buff guy. I had the same issue with the casting of Loras Tyrell, but that worked OK I guess.

Yeah, but who really cares about Loras Tyrell

I think a lot of the casting and costuming decisions on the show have been done to reflect the way houses in Westeros are mythologized (and for sure, this has its seeds in the way Martin describes them). Think of how the Lannisters have golden locks and are all good-looking, or how the Starks are shaggy and rough around the edges...I think it's going to pay off with Oberyn being lithe and cunning like his nickname-sake.

that glimmer and smug look in Tywin's face when he throws that wolf pelt scabbard on the fire

that was actually my favorite scene of the entire episode

I loved the Hound in this one.

"what the fuck is a Lommy?"

you people aren't talking about this enough. Is everyone still down after the red wedding?

Yeah, that was a great line.
