The thief is currently with the Khalessi which would be a great clue had she not assembled the entire 13 for questioning. Speaking of the Lady in the Mask, Jorah pays her a visit for information and not only does she know about his initial scheming - even though she seems convinced that's in the past - but also the whereabouts of Dany's dragons. Of course, we (and the masked lady) know that the one-time slave trader has betrayed Dany before perhaps she is wise to stay weary. For a moment anyway, since he too seems to soon wake her inner dragon by merely suggesting that she should put her trust in him. Xaro assures the Khalessi that they will retrieve her children but she's not in the mood to hear his rags to riches story and is much more happy to see Jorah return. But Dany is a long way from repeating the conquest of her ancestors since her dragons are nothing but babies and, well, missing. "No one can survive this world without help."Īnd Arya and Tywin's little history lesson could also prove telling - how the Targaryens and their dragons changed the game and made even the most fortified castle in Westeros nothing more than a glorified furnace waiting to be rubble. I could have done without the brief and unsubtle emphasis on the knife and Tywin's neck but overall the scene was another memorable moment for the duo. Will she heed his warning? Is she too clever for her own good? She's certainly to brave for her own good, even getting in a jab at Tywin before he puts her in her place. Here we not only get a taste of Lord Tywin's style of rule but the sequence between him and Arya also reveals that he's well aware of at last part of her deception. Harrenhal may be my the best CGI'd castle to date.
That's right, those were red cloaks dangling in front of the immaculately crafted castle. Arya's second 'name' for the man, Jaqen H'Ghar, turned out more fortuitous than she could have hoped since the suspicion surrounding Amory Lorch's murder has resulted in the hanging of at least 20 more Lannister men. And Arya and Tywin continue to be a thoroughly enjoyable pair to watch spar. Stark scolds the Lion twin in the Westerlands, her own daughter spars with the head of the Lannister Pride at Harrenhal.
"Let them know what it means to choose the wrong side." And yet he's right, with all the vows and oaths, it's hard to stay true to them all.
He's like Saywer from Lost without any redeeming qualities. Coster-Waldau plays Jaime to perfection and his Brienne insults were hilarious. You think Cat will give him the steel? He shouldn't speak ill of the dead-Ned. It was a good thing for him that she's mostly she-wolf now, that is until he tests her patience during their final scene. He smashes his cousin's face in order to escape, killing a Karstark as well, only to be dragged back to camp and have to be 'saved' by Lady Stark. Too bad none of Selmy's honor rubbed off on the Lion but he too is a 'painter who only uses red.' Only his work this time is more a Jackson Pollock. Jaime, being oddly humble and sharing, tells a similar tale of his experience stepping in to squire for Ser Barristan Selmy. In the pen, the young cousin tells a story about how he once squired for Jaime and the impression it left on him.
