The entire statement was made up out of thin air to be ridiculous, just as people who spoil future content are ridiculous by deriving satisfaction from depriving others of enjoyment of the plot. I know nothing about the fate of Arya, but I am pretty sure it won't involve a Dothraki brother in ghost form.

As much as 10 hours of HD will eat up my DVR hard drive I'm keeping the season there. I watch each episode at 9:00 PM on the dot (the only show I watch "live"). My plan is after the season finale I will rewatch season one on Blu and then replay season 2 in its entirety. I really enjoyed season one while it was on but absolutely fell in love with it when I could watch them back to back. I presume season 2 will be the same.

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.
I was shocked to see Renly gone so quick. I had a book reader spoil the purpose of the shadow monster for me, but I didn't think it would happen the next day. So it looks like Renly's army will retreat now? Potentially join forces with the Starks?
Also loved Arya with Lannister. "No, anyone can be killed" with an unflinching stare. Also loved her smile when her new friend kills the Tickler.

Now what would you do if you had only two more death wishes and you had a laundry list of deserving souls?

Don't remember reading it, but was the scene with Arya and Tywin in the second book? It seemed kind of new. I also don't think there was any "cenobite" looking woman speaking with Ser Jorah. Also loved the expression on Tyrion's face when he walked into the room full of fire bowls; very akin to someone walking into a room full of nuclear warheads.
One cool thing about reading the books is that it gives these seasons a LOT of re-watchability. I'm on the third book and still catching lots important stuff when I re-watch eps. from the first season. More is occurring this season. Nothing happens for no reason, and no character is throw-away. That much I will say without spoiling.

So Theon's plan is to attack the fishing village, then when the 300 men Bran sent from Westerfell get to the village to take it back, go and attack Westerfell?

Well, his dad sent him to harry the Stony Shore (fishing villages), but Dagmer suggested they hit Torrhen's Square instead then when Winterfell sends its men to protect, they'll move on to Winterfell.
Yes, that's the implication from those scenes.

He didn't say that but I assume that is what the look and smile he gave meant, and the dream about the sea taking Winterfell.

Part of me hates the smoke monster killing Renly like that, just seems like a lazy or way too convenient plot device to incorrectly peg Cat/the Starks as traitors.
Of course Stannis knows they weren't behind it, but I can see him using it as leverage in some way to get what he wants from the Starks.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that, too.
If Stannis has a girlfriend who can squirt shadow assassins out of her vagina, I would think he could make short work of his enemies.
Unless there's some kind of catch, this brings in an element that seems like it could end the conflict quickly. Send the assassin (or other assassins if they're good for a single use only) after Joffrey, Tommen, and Cersei; and Stannis is automatically on the Iron Throne.
