He was a spy for Varys in S1. He told them she was pregnant. Hs received a royal pardon for his help, which tipped him off that Dany might get poisoned.
I would say a number of the things mentioned in your spoiler are changes that make sense given the time constraints of the TV show. There is a TON of storytelling in the books, and some things are going to need to be left out, and even then some of the things that make it are given very little time (i.e. mentioned in a conversation instead of being seen, etc.)

How did I so completely miss that??
it was inferred. as soon he found out she was preggo, he took off.then Robert talks about her
Two episodes left. No way they leave the House of the Undying for next season, I'd say. It closes out Dany's story arc nicely for season 2.
As I remember it: Varys told Robert that Dany was pregnant. When Ned asked how he knew, Varys said that Jorah Mormont was a reliable source.
I hope so. She gets her dragons back and heads for Astapor.
Shae?
Me too. Great character in the books, and great character on the show. He reminds me of an older Gerard Butler. He even sounds like Butler.
DanymargeryMelissandreTalisaRozShaeI dont recall seeing all of Cersei's goods or Ygritte's for that matter
This was my thought as well. A lot of build up and only a sec with the House of the Undying. I can't wait to see what happens there.
thx, i completely missed that one too
Arya and Tywin's interaction has been pretty good - I don't see how she has backslid. Stannis, Davos, Margaery, Tywin and Ygritte have been pretty solid replacements for Ned, Drogo, and Viserys. I agree with Daenerys though, her story arc has dragged a bit.
2nd book (A Clash of Kings) is set up the same way.I think the pacing hasn't been so great this season. 8 episodes of build up with not much actually happening, then probably jamming everything into the last 2 episodes.
Agree, all about setup this week. Every story line pushed along.
This season has sort of missed the mark a bit. But Clash really is just one huge set-up for the Battle of the Blackwater.There is plenty of material in Swords, so the next 2 seasons shouldn't disappoint anybody.
While true to the book, it doesn't work as well for me in the show. They've taken plenty of other liberties, I think they could have juggled scenes around a bit more to even out the pace. With a book, I can read as quickly/slowly as I want. With the show, waiting 2 months for something to happen is less than ideal IMO. I guess this is one area where reading the book has negatively impacted my perception of the show, I guess I'm just impatient for them to get to some of the "good parts" that I know are coming, and I'm concerned that they haven't given themselves adequate time to cover them by holding everything until the last 2 episodes (or holding some things over until the following season).I'm with you about the omissions of what Tyrion was doing/dealing with in the books as hand. Having Varys comment on how good Tyrion has been doing isn't the same as showing more of what he's actually done.
everyone knew after GoT that the other books would have a hard time translating to screen. But I agree the season has been a slower one and building to these final 2 episodes.
Yeah I could watch an entire series with just those two. Throw in the nutless ghost too for kicks. Just make an entire series about those 3 guys running the kingdom. Have a bumbling king for comic relief. It would be like Excalibur meets Spin City.
But it looked great in 300.
indeed, this is going to hurt and wont be over quickly or whatever was said
I would almost like to see them get it on. They're physically very similar. I wonder which one has the bigger unit.
I know Brienne is supposed to be a stiff character but the actress playing her is over the top stiff. Almost uncomfortably stiff, will give her a chance as the character develops. Hopefully she pulls it off.
Talisa = great backside
Did anyone else get the impression that Rob finished before they hit the floor? Too many laces and layers to get through, and when they did finally get the clothes off, it looked like he had an American Pie moment.Talisa = great backside
I think she'll be fine. She showed plenty of emotion when Renly died. I guess her past made her numb and stiff to most things.
