Perhaps she'll let Tyrion get the goodies after she's conquered one of those towns. They could bond together while planning to set Westeros and all the people in it on fire. Wishful thinking. After all, she's the only woman that hasn't betrayed Tyrion on the whole show (I don't think her leaving with the fool counts).

Littlefinger makes my skin crawl. Even though he broke crazy Auntie Lysa's back out, I think he's secretly vying to take Sansa's virginity. The way he looks at her is creepy...like a pedophile.

You rewriting everything. Who knows after its all said and done maybe she might give in to Tyrion and stop waiting on storybook prince charming. See that what has me "worried" in the books Littlefinger's presenting her as his daughter so you know he can't marry her under any circumstances without it being some major issues. I not sure if it works the same for a niece in this world.

Shucks, in the world of GoT, Tyrion is as close as you're going to get to prince charming. He's one of the most (if not the only) respectable men in Westeros.

Hey I've been looking forward to a big battle at Castle Black. I just knew it would take 2 or 3 episodes. Four episodes to go and I'm still waiting. This show likes to pull fast ones and change it up a bit. So I don't know, chunks are missing, stuff was added or realigned so we'll see how they'll wrap this season up. But yeah the title gives that one away, maybe, I'm not banking on it.

They do have a habit of not sticking with one "arc." The show plays out like a mixtape sometimes.

It does seem that S4 is paced better than last season though; they give you faster plot movement between storylines than last year.

Tops on my list is Oberyn and The Mountain. I can't wait for that fight.

naffi said:

So assuming that Tywin and Tyrion can choose their champions, would Oberyn fight for Tryrion, especially if Tywin gets The Mountain to fight for him, since the Hound has gone rogue?

Considering my predictions are usually wrong . . .

I'm going by Tyrion's trial in the Vale, presided over by Crazy Lysa Season 1, after Catelyn arrested and charged him. IIRC, he was allowed to select his champion.

Also recall Oberyn took Tyrion aside at the beginning of the season to tell him about his grudge against the Lannisters and the Mountain for the death of his sister. Then later that season, Tywin denied he was involved in that, and assured Oberyn he'd arrange for him to get at the Mountain.

If chosen, I think Oberyn will fight. He wouldn't be able to stand by with the Mountain around. And it's not as if Tywin could stop him. Oberyn may be the only guy left that could beat the Mountain now that Jaime's lost his hand. Tyrion gave himself a chance.

No way he would allow Jamie to fight for either sides, as he is the heir now. Was hoping Tommen would give encouragement to Tyrion Hmm, good point about Varys putting thoughts of the Iron Throne into Oberyn's mind, but what is Varys motive for doing what he does?

Remember the "Baelor" episode, when Varys went to visit Ned Stark? He told Ned that his only concern was "the Realm," and his place in it. And Varys probably already knows the Lannisters are broke. If Oberyn makes a play and wins, Varys' place is preserved. If Oberyn makes a play and loses, Varys will deny it just as he denied Tyrion on the stand. But who knows Varys' true motives???

I am curious to see what Tywin in planning to do with his Daenerys issue. Wonder Lysa's son will react to her being married now, and more interested in Little Finger (and Sansaa) than him?

More predictions sure to go wrong:

The crown has no money. Tywin may have no choice but to wait and see what Daenerys does.

I think Littlefinger is going to goad Sansa to take Lysa for a ride out the moon roof.

naffi said:

So any chance we will get a double episode to make up for the missing week, or will they just string us along a bit longer?

No double episode. last episode June 15.

Guess I'll just keep watching this one when the season ends...

"I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores. I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it. I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder. And I know I'll get no justice here, so I'll let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat!"

YES! This and when he began his speech with wishing he had let Stannis kill them all.... I've watched this scene at least 6 times since Sunday. The anger in Tyrion's face and his voice was priceless, especially since we normally see him calm and easy going. Peter Dinklage did an excellent job.

He is definitely my favorite actor. The first time I remember seeing him was in Nip/Tuck and I was impressed. But in this role he is outstanding!!

Hudson said:

Dayum, I knew something was up with Bronn lately. Damn shame. Aww oh well. Alliances come and go in GoT.

So Daenerys finally got some new dick huh? Shucks don't blame her.

Gotdamn that Jon Snow is sexy as fuck!!!

Aww, The Hound opening up to Arya was pretty nice. Perhaps he'll fall off her "kill" list.

Another great performance by Peter Dinklage this week. When Prince Oberyn was telling Tyrion the story of when Cersei was showing him "the Lannister monster"...the emotion in Tyrion's eyes was heartbreaking.

Well Namepeace, looks like you were right in your predictions regarding Prince Oberyn standing for Tyrion as his champion in the trial by combat!!!! I put my money on Oberyn winning. Can't wait to see this. Perhaps they may save this until the season finale.

Urgh, that Robin is a psycho child. When Sansa slapped the shit out of him, I fell out with laughter.

Aside from that WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LITTLEFINGER!!! He's out to wed and bed Sansa every chance he gets. Lawd.... Would I be correct in saying that Sansa is in more danger in Eyrie than she was in Kings Landing? Didn't we predict he would get rid of crazy Lysa? Now all he has to do is knock Robin down that moon door and we can get down to business.

Urgh...only 3 more episodes and next week will be a "skip" week. DAMN!

[Edited 5/18/14 19:05pm]

I got my wish. Well half of it. But at least Robin knows not to mess with Sansa. Especially now that his mom flew the coop.

Mostly just moving the pieces around tonight. I did enjoy seeing Hot Pie again.

"Theres a long time between now and never." N you know Im rather okay with the Petyr/Sansa pairing at this moment. Well will see where that goes.

Dinklage nuff said just give him the emmy.

So we have Hound wounded, Mountain n Oberyn in a death duel, The Lady of The out the moon door, and what will become of Robin? Yes hes creepy but it would be interesting if they keep him around for a bit. Westeroo and its child kings. Lord.

He won the Emmy in 2011 but hell...he deserves more...when GoT is finished and he gets GOOD movie roles (besides the new X-Men) the Oscar is next. He is just amazing.

Perhaps. The Hound's best scene by far.

He was just as good with Bronn and Oberyn this week as he was last week.

Take a picture, it's the only GoT prediction I will ever get right. But that won't stop me from making another one (see below). I can't wait to see Red Viper show his skills. BUt I won't predict any outcome on the matchup except one heckuva fight.

Urgh, that Robin is a psycho child. When Sansa slapped the shit out of him, I fell out with laughter.

Given how we first met him, I'm not surprised Robin is a bit off. Though I don't see him as a sociopath on Joffrey's level. Early in the scene, I almost thought Sansa would be a calming influence on him. But I also knew that Snow Winterfell was going down when he walked outside!

Aside from that WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LITTLEFINGER!!! He's out to wed and bed Sansa every chance he gets. Lawd.... Would I be correct in saying that Sansa is in more danger in Eyrie than she was in Kings Landing? Didn't we predict he would get rid of crazy Lysa? Now all he has to do is knock Robin down that moon door and we can get down to business.

Baelish wanted Sansa for himself for a while. Lysa's days were numbered; if he would go after the King, why would he hesitate going after his wife? Though part of him is motivated by his love for Catelyn, he's still relentless. And a little disturbing.

Urgh...only 3 more episodes and next week will be a "skip" week. DAMN!

One prediction: Before season's end, Varys' "birds" get to Meeren, and as a result, Danaerys discovers Jorah's early betrayal.

He knows the crown (or, at least, Cersei) HAS to make SURE he's killed in trial by combat, so they'll send their best -- The Mountain. He also knows Oberyn wants to kill The Mountain to avenge his sister. Do you HONESTLY think Oberyn's going to let the Mountain walk in or out of King's Landing alive while he's still there?

My prediction: Tyrion chooses Oberyn as his champion vs. the Mountain.

My Only Accurate GoT Prediction and I only got it halfway right. Oberyn chose Tyrion, not vice versa.

You're right, he did...but that was for outstanding supporting actor. He needs an Emmy and Globe for Best Actor.

Do you guys think that Sansa is actually falling for Baelish or is she just "playing along" and figuring out the way he thinks (and manipulates)?

I know ...I'm just waiting for that Oscar...I'll be crying like a baby for him. Someone in Hollywood PLEASE give him an Oscar-worthy role.

As far as I know he hasn't had one since The Station Agent.

I know...what a waste of talent.

Cersi has ice water in her veins. I can say I can respect that one aspect about her, she does turn all skiddish in the sight of muck, she just stepped right over entrails to handle her business.

I loved that shot of Sansa outdoors in the snow. Looked like a painting.

I think Sansa has learned to not make waves, I don't think she interested in Littlefinger in the slightest, she's just in between a rock and a hard place as usual.
