She also appeared to have killed some guards to allow the escape as well.

In regards to why Luwin wasn't taken, I'm guessing it has to do with A) he is old and B) They made it sound like the keep's maester must serve the building, so he was in no real danger (Unlike the Stark Heirs).

not sure if this is really a spoiler as it is more a reference to pretty early in the first book ........
Spoiler:
definately is a connection between the two ... remember [in the book] it is the Hound who tells Sansa how his face became burned at the hand of his brother [as opposed to the show in which it is Littlefinger who tells the story to Sansa at the joust/tournament]

I'm guessing they were able to pretty much instantly secure Torrhen Square, and Rodrick probably just left someone else in charge of wrapping up and hurried back (maybe with a small travel group) to Winterfell where he belongs. The rest the force will probably follow behind eventually.

So, with the above detail, I see:

Marching ten thousand wolves to Lannisport through
the tooth. Estimate to reach you by week's end. Young Wolf
Robb Stark moving troops south by coast. ??? ???? and
turn east at Silverhill.
Nice work

Amazing episode. No sign of Jorah (?) during Danny's sequences though, what happened?

Too busy looking for a deal at the Used Ship Emporium. Hopefully he had Doreah with him.

Ostensibly, he's out trying to find her another way to Westeros as indicated by the end of the previous episode.

I'm pretty sure that Littlefinger's note read:

"Carcetti for Mayor"

What the hell happened with the Red Comet seen in the sky earlier this season? I thought there would be more on that, but it's like it was forgotten.

I'm wondering why she didn't kill sleeping Theon since she didn't have scruples killing the guard.

My thinking is Theon would be more lenient to the Winterfellians... than anyone that replaced him.

Another great episode, but I disliked Sir Rodrik dying and no Bronn. I figured Bronn would be escorting Tyrion through the mob. Loved The Hound saving Sansa. I keep thinking each week he's going to turn on Joffrey, I haven't read the books, but I hope he becomes the next King Slayer. I'm guessing the creepy zombie 13 has Dany's dragons.

I'm with you completely...I think the Hound is going to take Joffrey's head, maybe even before the season is over. He looks like he gets pissed every time he's called "dog". And I also think that Skeletor has the dragons...either that, or it's a plot by the black guy who wants to marry her (I don't know his name, other than that it's three names).

Either way...I have a feeling that Qarth will burn, before it's all said and done.

Tyrion being with the king and hence the entire Kingsguard is probably one of the better times for Bronn to be doing other stuff (City Watch duties, intel-gathering for Tyrion, etc.).

BTW, where did the rest of the Night's Watch go? Did they head back to the Wall?

I think there's something in the note about Robb almost capturing Kony.

Yeah but I'm assuming they can't predict the future when planning out their day.

They are still out there. Jon just went on a ranging mission with a couple of others.

This is probably entirely correct, especially with the inclusion of House Serrett at Silverhill. I'm glad my guess "wolves" is actually "west" because it seemed contradictory to have Robb marching both west and south

Did you decipher this yourself or was there another source/effort out there on the internet?
