Ep 4.7 Mockingbird"

Jaime yells at Tyrion for throwing his life away and the deal Jaime made with their father.   Tyrion says he couldn’t listen to Shae’s lies about him.   He fell in love with her and thought she loved him.   He also tells Jaime that this is exactly what their father wanted.   Tyrion goes to the Wall and Jaime becomes the Lord of Casterly Rock to marry and carry on the family name.   Tyrion says it felt good to take that from their father.   He tells Jaime he is the golden son, he can do anything and get away with it whether it’s sleeping with his sister or killing a king.   Tyrion says he’s not dead yet, he has already survived one trial by combat even though Jaime wasn’t there to save him.   Jaime tells Tyrion he cannot help him now either.   He can’t even beat a stable boy at sword fighting with his left hand.   Tyrion asks where his sense of adventure is.   He tells him to imagine the look on their father’s face when Jaime falls to his death and the family name is no m

Ep 4.6 The Laws of Gods and Men

QUICKLOOK:  Stannis gets a loan, Theon Greyjoy is lost forever and Tyrion chooses trial by combat over his farce of a trial. King Stannis and Ser Davos had arrived in Braavos.   They will meet with the Iron Bank to see if they will fund his war.   Stannis is made to wait and grows impatient.   Finally three men enter and sit to treat with him.   They ask Stannis to sit, which he does hesitantly.   Ser Davos introduces him as King of the Seven Kingdoms, but one of the men says that Tommen Baratheon, Stannis’s nephew, also holds that title as well as the Iron Throne.   Stannis says he shares no blood with Tommen who is a bastard born of incest.   The bank is already giving money to Lord Tywin who calls Stannis a jealous an envious uncle.   They ask how many men he has as well as how many ships and they decline to help him.   Stannis gives Ser Davos a dirty look and gets up to leave, but Ser Davos asks the men to give them a chance.   The same man (who seems to spe

Ep 4.5 "First of His Name"

QUICKLOOK:   Tommen is crowned, Daenerys decides to rule (but not Westeros), and Sansa finds herself in a new den of wolves. King Tommen is officially being cornonated.   He and Margeary steal glances at one another during the ceremony until Cersei notices.   She finds Margaery and confides in her that she knew Joffrey was evil and the things she did shocked him, but he was her first born and she loved him.   Cersei says Tommen needs strong people around to guide him at being a good king.   She asks if Margaery still wants to be queen.   Margaery says she has hardly thought about it, but it would be a great honor.   They both agree to talk to their fathers about the match.   Then Margaery tells Cersei that if she marries Loras and Margaery marries Tommen, she won’t know whether to call her sister or mother.   Ouch… Ser Jorah breaks the news of Joffrey’s death to Daenerys.   Daario Naharis informs her that he has taken the Mereenese navy.   She asks why he did thi
