Kinda wished Brandon would've asked Tree Bro to unpack things a lot more.

Great question. Maybe his sister's hatred of him didn't hurt as much as his father's. Or maybe he viewed his father as the real enemy. Tywin pulls the strings, you have to think he could have stopped that sham of a trial if he wanted to.

[bookspoiler]Arya is headed down to Electric Avenue.[/bookspoiler]
I didn't take it as he had to bend over backward to do anything she wants, just that he was to protect her.

Sure seemed like that ship was heading north up the coastline and not east out to sea.

Jaquen told Arya the coin and the words were a ticket to bravos.

She's going to Braavos. When she got the coin from that guy and he made her learn the words, it was so she could get passage to Braavos to learn to become an assassin. She wasn't ready/willing at the time she initially got it because she was trying to get back to her mother.

So, next season, much less focus on King's Landing? Tyrion, Tywin, Joffrey, Shae, Varys, Littlefinger, Sansa, Olenna, the Viper all left there one way or another this year. Those who are left are for the most part not very bright and Lannisters.

She's going to the Dagobah system to train.

The characters are really spread all over the damn place. Snow/Stannis crew at the Wall, Bran in a cave, Arya in Bravos, Tyrion and Varys going to (Pentos?), Dany in the slave cities, the Boltons in the North, Cersei/Jaime in KL, Littlefinger/Sansa/ Brienne in the Eyrie.
That's not what the coin is for.
In the "Previously, on Game of Thrones" intro last night, they showed a clip from this scene. The coin doesn't take you north; it takes you to Braavos to find the faceless men.

Exactly. He didn't tell her it was a ticket for a free boat and command of the crew. It was a ticket to Bravos.

I feel like we have to get some more frosty zombies next season. Winter has been coming for a long-### time, let's get to it.
Overall I enjoyed watching this season, but I feel we didn't move the story much on a macro level. The individual stories are cool, but in a global sense we just see Stannis spinning his wheels, Dany hasn't been interesting in ages, the king was murdered but that was only interesting because the accused was a great character.
The smaller scale stories like Tyrion / Arya / Jon Snow were cool, but they're somewhat inconsequential in the grand scheme of things at the moment.

Well, obviously that point was much more debatable than I thought, and I (most likely) took it the wrong way. I admit that I was (most likely) wrong. Having said that, I thought it was obvious that Tywin was dead, and that the dragons weren't left to die.

Not sure the time frame in the series, from start to now - can't be much more than 18-months or so. But, in those 18 months, the Starks, Baratheons, and Lannisters have gone from "Great" families to pretty much decimated. Makes you wonder how they survived for generations prior to the start of the show - at least Lannisters and Starks are portrayed as coming from a long-line of leaders. Targaryans have also dropped by 50%, and Danaerys seems to be struggling a bit at the moment.

from his days of sneaking around as the hand of the king and smuggling shae in and out, I assume he knew it led to a secret passage to the tower of the hand. he is still not dumb enough to go after cersei, who might be pretty far away in another part of the castle and fairly well protected.

Haven't caught up on all of the posts, but am I the only one who thinks The Hound rolls Brienne? I knew when they started to battle that was it for The Hound, but in reality, she has no shot.

She knocked him off a cliff, so I would say she beat him.

I think they set up a bit that he was wounded from that bite a couple of eps back.....plus the guy just got done taking a ####. Maybe he hadn't wiped effectively and it was hurting his movement on the field of battle?
Jamie Lannister was one of the three of four best in the kingdom when she fought him to a draw. Admittedly he was weaker from being held captive and in chains......but that set the precedence that she could hang with the "injured elite".

Not much happened after Joffrey's death re: the throne. And not much happened with the white walkers. I agree there was a fair bit of wheel spinning this season.

Tywin died, the Vale is now essentially under the control fo Littlefinger, Varys is exiled, Stannis now has an army funded by the Iron Bank, the relationship with Dorne is questionable because of the death of the Viper and Daenrys excommunicated her longest and most trusted advisor. Of course, that ignores the undertones that the trouble North of the wall is the real threat to everything where we had the Boltons secure the North, Jon Snow essentially become the leader of the Night's Watch, Mance Rayderr's army defeated and Bran meet a bunch of elves and an old wizard who lives under a tree.
You're right. Nothing happened this season.

Seems to be the perfect time for Stannis to attack, but he's in another corner of the kingdom.
I assume Jamie becomes the leader of the KL army, with Cersei controlling Tommen as the political head.

Kings Landing is still the center of the story though. Cersei vs Maergery for control of Tommen?

Jamie is in the kings guard, I think thats just like the nights watch, once you are in, you are in forever.

Ok im on board with Arya heading to Braavos.
I still think we shouldnt write Tywin off yet. Grand Maester B, practictioner of the dark arts, had a scene for a reason and it wasnt to bring back an inconsequential brute like the Mountain. I still think he uses his same black magic on the hand of the king. That is if Cersei lets him. Maybe she is offered but turns it down.

Didn't she also beat Loras to win that tournament that Renly was having early in season 2?

I don't see how Maergery has any leverage other than her #####...which isn't powerful enough to override Tommens mother.

war has a tendency to kill people.
House stark is pretty much toast in the eyes of the realm.
before the north was just left alone until jon arryn died and Ned was asked to be hand of the king

True...but unless Tommen matures into Joffrey in the offseason, I don't see him standing up to Cersei any time soon.

She's a mid-carder....Tito Santana-esque. She can dominate the jobbers and ham n eggers of Westeros AND if she catches a top level heel on a bad day...she can pull of an upset.

true a king can do as they like, was the hound a white cloak? or just the jofferys personal guard?
