This is off topic, but I don't want it to get hurried in the spoilers- only thread, so ... Here's a link to the actor who played Syrio doing an AMA on reddit (for those unfamiliar, AMA means Ask Me Anything, and like the name implies, he's just answering questions from the Internet):

Were Tyrion's plans for Myrcella entirely dependent on which member of the Small Council betrayed him?

Tyrion is so much better at his game than Ned. He owned this ep.
I knew Yoren's death was coming, that didn't make it suck less. At least he went out in a blaze of glory.

Pretty sure Myrcella was going to Dorne no matter what. So they really weren't dependent on who leaked their personal story.

I can't remember back to book 2 very well, but did everything happen that way with the greyjoys and their plan to take the north (mainly winterfell) as shown in this episode? I don't recall it being spelled out that clearly.

I thought they cut together Tyrion's plan wonderfully. I wasn't quite sure how that was going to play out here, but they got right to it in a way that clearly spelled it out for the viewers who hadn't read before what exactly he was doing.
Once again, the show ends too abruptly. If only I had the willpower to wait until June 3rd to watch them all back-to-back.

Anybody who has anything to say bad about this series has to come through me in a mêlée. We are so fortunate to have such a magnificent production of this well-loved series. I'd say tonight episode ranked in the top 3 of both seasons so far. Dinklage is still tearing it up, but truly incredible casting all around. Brienne is a tower of strength. Great to see Natalie Dormer from the Tudors. The kids continue to be great and did Sophie Turner shoot up in height for what? She has great stance and posterior for a role that suggests she was trained, unlike Arya (who never excepted it) to be regal.
Sunday nights--The Borgias, Mad Men and this, it doesn't get better.

Also..there's some discussion above of some stuff that wasn't actually said in this episode that people in the know seem to be inferring BECAUSE they know. There's at least two posts that need spoiler tags IMO. Hate for people to get shit ruined.

I missed Dany in this episode but was easily my favorite of this season. I have not read the books but LOVED the first season (to the point that I have watched it three times thus far and watched ALL the special features on the blu which I bought opening day).
I am sure in the long run it will pay off but this season seems overloaded with characters. We barely have enough time to hit upon characters that became fan favorites in season 1 - Snow was barely in this one, Dany not in it at all and I think we're at two in a row without Robb now. I don't yet care about people like Stannis Baratheon's entourage (from last episode) - although I suspect I eventually will. If only these episodes were 90 minutes long.
