I completely forgot about Slynt's part in that. So many people/story lines you almost forget about all the connections. Someone mentioned the brotherhood guys that Arya ran into and Osha/Rickon and I had completely forgotten about them. You remember them when people bring it up, but some of the earlier episodes seem so long ago that you forget things. I don't recall forgetting stuff in a show like Lost, but GOT has so many stories and characters that disappear.

He told Ned that the city watch was in his corner before they marched into the throne room to confront Cersei and joffrey. Then he betrayed him.
He was supposed to back Ned when he confronted Cersei about the incestuous relationship/offspring, instead he and his men killed Ned's men, which caused Ned to lose his head...

Why did Slynt get sent to the wall, I don't remember?

Tyrion sent him. Didn't trust him after the way he betrayed Ned stark and he wanted to install Bronn in his place

Tywin sent Tyrion to Kings Landing to act as Hand while he (Tywin) was at war. When Tyrion arrived at KL, he immediately sent Janos Slynt to The Wall mainly because he was Cersei's puppet, but "officially" because he just betrayed the previous Hand (Ned).

I guess I was wrong about Sansa being married off to Ramsay. Interesting to me the screen shots of some of Reek's reactions and then the crazy lover chick of Ramsay.
Back to being wrong about Littlefinger marrying Sansa.... the only thing that still makes sense to me is some sort of way to have a coup. Otherwise, this move still does not make a whole lot of sense to me. I am not seeing the picture here but then again, Littlefinger is usually making moves well in advance of everyone else.

In my view, GOT's has spoiled it's viewers. For me, the show has earned some time to set up. Heck, we all need to catch our breath (though the 9 months in between seasons helps the viewers do that without needing it in the show).

He wants Sansa to get in good with the Boltons and then kill them like he did Lysa.

That's what I am assuming too, I'm guessing it won't end well for Ramsey this season. Maybe Sansa and Reek will start messing people up.

I can see this... The show always kind of builds from the early eps and then goes crazy to the end.

I would love to see the Bolton's get theirs. Maybe Reek will get set off by seeing Ramsey's crazy lover go after Sansa and then kills everyone.

Last season broke that blueprint with the early Purple Wedding but all the other seasons pretty much had set up in the first few episodes but enough to keep you engaged and then went crazy in the last few episodes.

This is the exact same thing that happened to the Sopranos. People look back at past years and they remember the big parts, forgetting all the character and plot development that happened in between. Then, when they watch current episodes, the complain that every episode isn't a big episode moment.

Not Kingsguard but captain of the Gold Cloaks (City police basically, while the Kingsguard are like Secret Service.)

Yea, if you kill off someone that you just meet in one or two episodes... is it a big event? You have to build on things. The Red and Purple Weddings were HUGE things because of what they meant to characters we have been watching and invested in some way into.

I think most people were complaining about the Sopranos because the last two seasons were terrible.

My prediction is that Littlefinger's plan (whatever it is) backfires, and Reek is there to save the day/kill Ramsey/rescue Sansa.

Does Sansa know about Reek's actions against the Starks? I don't remember if word got out about that since everyone who knew is dead or crippled beyond the wall.

I thought Marjorie was great with her manipulation of Tommen right after the "consummation". Also the line to Cersei "I'd love to offer you some wine but its too early in the morning for us".

I thought it was a phenominal episode. Brien was awesome, Arya's story just continues to be more and more compelling, Sansa is starting to become a much more interesting character and if there is intrigue with her back in the North so much the better, Jon Snow is awesome and that entire scene was perfect in every way, Stannis' guy trying to get him to see the oath a different way was well done as well, Bolton and Littlefinger were good in their scene together and Dinklage really just continues to be one of the best characters on TV. Him and Varys are really good together - Varys being a very underrated character.
And Cersei and the new queen were great. Really well done there as well. Just overall good in just about every sense was this episode.
And I join the chorus of just what the heck is Littlefinger doing. Although I like the idea of him pulling off his own red wedding as retribution. There is a poetry to that.

Quality and pace are two different things. This series is always top quality in production, acting, directing etc. I think some are crying because of the pace. They have been spoiled with jaw droppers every other episode and the season so far has been more moving the story along than shocking us. I for one enjoy the story telling and the quality. I have faith that the 'pace' will be made up for later on.
Yea, I mean, the key on Littlefinger I think is there really is only two things he has ever cared about and the rest could burn: Catelyn Stark and power. Has he transfered that care from Cat to Sansa or is she just a pawn like everyone else in his world? He has to want revenge himself for Cat being killed by Bolton/Frey, no?And If he has transfered that care to Sansa, then what is his end game? Or, is he really all just about power? I mean, he put in motion this entire series really. Some of it not in the best interest of Cat (or maybe it was in the best interest of trying to obtain Cat?)

If HBO is keeping with GRRM's rough parallel of the War of the Roses, this arranged marriage that Littlefinger set up is going to backfire on him personally big time. But since they are starting to go off book now they could take the character in an incredibly different way. And the Littlefinger Red Wedding has a lot of promise. You could play around with the idea and also include Brein being there as well somehow. If once the smoke settles Sansa has Brein by her side, the Bolton's are decimated, Winterfell is under the control of Sansa and Littlefinger manages to survive, he has whatever allegience Sansa allows him in the north not to mention all of his lands as well, and the place he just took is loyal to the Starks regardless of him, so they could put together a really huge force.
And at the same time Stannis is coming that way as well. It would be pretty cool if Littlefinger has already been in touch with Stannis at the wall, and it's Stannis that helps the overthrow of Winterfell. At that point, Jon has to help somehow, meaning you have the Nightswatch, the wildings, Winterfell, Starks, all of Littlefingers holdings, all ready to start making their way to King's Landing.
And then there is dragon lady and Tyrion. Lot's of ways they can pull this all together.

Who are the Villains to the crown going to be if/after/any of that going to be. Just Cersei? I don't find the child king and the new Queen villains. They are just as good as Stannis and Dany for the crown and the people as far as I can tell.

but Bolton is shrewd, and should know about Littlefinger and Cat, so I'm sure he's expecting for LF to have something up his sleeve. I think this battle of wits will be entertaining...even the conversation last night was good, with Bolton intercepting the raven meant for LF and telling him that he wants to read his response first.

oh, and give the Onion Knight more screen time. one of my favorite characters, but not a lot for him to do right now.

I don't think he wants the world to burn. He is not Batman's Joker. He wants the world. However, how much of it or who be burns down on the way towards owning it is not really something he is concerned with. Other than Cat and now perhaps Sansa- I am confident he would kill anyone else without a second thought if it met his purposes.

There really is not a lot of fluff in GOT. They have had two major scenes now where Stannis is shown recruiting Jon. It is possible that it is just to show how honorable Jon is in keeping with his oath as part of character development or maybe to throw us off the trail of what is really going to happen but I suspect these scenes have real importance. (add in other scenes like the glances after Jon kills Slynt as well)

If I had to bet money, Jon isn't staying at the wall and he will also be able to get the wildings somehow on his side. It makes too much sense. And part of that is the sense that there is an ultimate battle that is world changing. It isn't so much just the small g game of thrones, but the ultimate end for the world. To me, that would include somehow a destruction of the wall and the acceptance that the people that live on the other side are just as much citizens of the west. I could be compeltely off base on that though but there is where I am coming from mostly with my ideas on how the long story is shaping up.
