I'd like to plunge Melisandre's darkness, if you get what I mean....

Way to go, Samwell! First guy to bag a White Walker. Too bad he didn't recover the blade.
Sansa needs to put on her big girls pants and stop fretting about marrying Tyrion. She's married the heir to the wealthiest family in Westeros. He's smart, clever, charming, and kind. And, outside of her brother, he's the only guy who has the balls to stand up to King Shitfuck. Yeah, he's only three and a half feet tall and drunk, but considering most of the other people she's surrounded with, he's Prince Charming. And at least he's not a mean drunk.
...and Seven Hells, could there be more foreshadowing?

It seems that when he gets aroused he's 4 foot tall but he had to learn to balance...

Did no one else make anything of Daario when he drew the square coin and uttered "valar morghulis"? The way he said it sounded a lot like Jaqen H'gar.

I thought it sorta looked like the guy that Jaqen turned into but I thought he was headed somewhere more north (Pentos?) of where Yunkai is.

Jaqen is headed to Braavos. I think that's where the sqaure coin was from too, which could explain the phrase.

I know it created tension, but was there a reason that the lieutenant of the Second Sons had to sneak in as if he was going to carry out an assassination? Maybe he felt like he wouldn't be able to get close to Dany without being all sneaky, but I'd assume that having the heads of the two leaders would be more than enough evidence to convince her that he really wants to fight for her.

Yeah, Dario could be Jaqen, but he would have had to have transformed yet again. Dario looked nothing like he did when we last saw him in season 2's transformation. I haven't read any of the books, so don't know if he's still even featured.

1) He did it to demonstrate the level of his skill to Dany and to sort of have the upper hand while talking to her.
2) It was done that way to play with the audience by maintaining some tension in the scene.
No reason it couldn't be both of course.

Yeah, I agree with the 2nd point mostly. It made for a better reveal on TV.

I like the way it was done for TV... Dany naked is always a good thing. =)

Plus it shows that he is actually a badass, who made it past all the guards right into her tent.

I took it as a "look i snuck in here and could have killed you, but I'd rather serve you"

Doesn't Sam have a bagfull of the Dragonglass? And didn't he tell Gilly as much last episode? That's was my reasoning for why he left it behind. He's got more. And he probably didn't want to touch it right after it killed the Walker on the off chance that it got contaminated.
I love quoting phrases from the book while watching the episodes and it annoys my wife to no end. In "The Climb", I kept on saying "The Wall protects itself" and last night I was all "Sam the Slayer!" even before the whole thing happened.

Yeah, now that I think about it (and looking at the Daario gif). The guy Jaqen transformed into was older and uglier. But I guess that doesn't rule out that it is him. TV viewers don't know what the rules are for Jaqen's transformations (i.e can he do it anytime?)

I think the meaning of the phrase has been in the TV show, but on the off change it's not it translates as:

IF you have a chance check out photos from a recent GoT exhibition. Liam Cunningham, Maisie Williams, and Carice Van Houten were in attendance. Worth visiting just to see Ms. Van Houten in a black leather jacket.

Valar Morghulis is High Valyrian and is a common saying in Essos (which is where they are) the response to which is Valar Dohaeris. I don't know what they'll do on the TV show, but I wouldn't read too much into it. I'm pretty sure Melisandre said it a week or two ago as well.

It was more the way Daario said it and the way he was turning the coin over in his hand. It suddenly reminded me of Jaqen. Plus, he seemed to kill the other two pretty easily. And Mero was half-titan (=giants??) so I assume he'd be a pretty tough foe.
