Another fantastic episode.
I agree the scenes with Tywin and Arya are fantastic. That girl is terrific, and Charles Dance is just about always terrific in anything he does. The two of them together are great stuff.

What's the context of that photo? It's obviously from ComicCon, and I surmise from everyone else that Jason Mamoa said something outlandish and embarrassing, like the words in big letters. Having read other interviews with him from the Conan movie, it he seems to just blurt stuff out without thinking often.

3:53 p.m. "I've never been a part of anything remotely close to this," Momoa says, when asked to compare working on a Sci Fi Channel show to working on an HBO show. He loves that scifi and fantasy shows let you "rip someone's throat out and rape beautiful women."

Arya is the ghost of harrenhal. Though in the way this episode was shot it would make just as much sense that Jaken Haggar (or however his name is spelt) would be the said ghost.

BTW, I'm under the assumption, because my detailed memory of the books is fuzzy after all these years, that Ja'qun did not HAVE to be a Lannister man, but CHOSE to become a Lannister so he can find Arya and they together can pay back the red god the debt of three lives they owe him.

FWIW, the phrase "The Ghost of Harrenhal" is taken directly from the book. Not really a spoiler, but tagged for the sensitive:

And if it's something from the books--well, here we go again.

It's because they don't call themselves the ghost(s), it's the perception of the other people that it's haunted.

No, I was saying that for a common solider, in a rumored haunted castle, suspicious murders would be the work of a ghost

Dany's dragon cooking the meat with its own fire was very cute.

Were there any shots of Ghost when Jon and the Night's Watch were hiking to the Fist of the First Men? If he was there, I didn't spot him.
This episode was great on every level. The cinematography is just gorgeous.
I love everything about Tyrion, but his interactions with Bron and Lancel (Cersei's cousin and current lover), are just downright hilarious.

Agreed. I was literally like WTF?!?!? when Renly bit it...I kept waiting on him to wake up or something. I did NOT see that happening, I thought for sure that...
..was EXACTLY what would happen. So this threw me for a huge, HUGE loop.
Agreed. REALLY like this guy and his interaction with Arya so far. I'm thinking he's going to end up taking out Joffrey.
The girl that plays Arya is absolutely fantastic. She's definitely #2 for me in terms of favorite characters, with Tyrion Lannister being #1 and...
...Jorah Mormont being #3. I REALLY like Jorah.
Joffrey HAS to be on the hitlist. Maybe the Hound as well...but Joffrey is definitely on it.

Really enjoying the season.
I really like the relationship between Dany and her 'advisor'. I hope they continue to stick together. I couldn't tell what Dany was thinking towards the end. Will she follow his advice? I know a lot of people don't like this story but it is one of my favorites. Mostly because Dany is so vulnerable right now, but her potential for power so great.

Yes, and it was an awesome shot. It's when they were setting up camp at the top of the mountain and he was up on a ridge in the background. It was an awesome effect to make him look massive, but with how they used the perspective he didn't look fake or CGI at all.
