      I think she was in love but was just dumb as shit. She started falling out of love and then when Tyrion had to say what he said to keep her safe she was too stupid to see it for what it was and instead of the truth.

        I felt like the book drove home the Shay betrayal better and more obviously. But yeah, I think we were supposed to buy Tyrion sending her away as her motive for screwing him over.

        Dope: was it 100% confirmed that Bran wouldn't be in this season? I know that Hodor isn't, but I didn't think I had read that Bran wouldn't be too. I mean, it's unlikely to have one without the other, either way.

        Bran is going to look 25 years old the next time he's on screen if he isn't in this season and at the rate that he is growing up.

          first link is David Benioff talking about why he's not in it

          second link does say that hbo wouldn't comment or confirm it.

          i think he doesn't show up at all, but if he does it'll be in episode 10 where he walks out of the cave and we don't get to see any training.

          and yeah that kid grew up A LOT from the first season, going two years without seeing him is going to be crazy.

          speaking of ages, this picture is hilarious

            Bitch needs to get control of her dragons and stop making these weirdo ass decisions.

              Proves she needs advisors like Tyrian or even Jorah.

                She's surrounded by good intended people....but they ain't too bright. I agree entirely.

                  Tyrian would be perfect in that role. He thinks circles around most people when he is too drunk to stand. If she can get her dragons under control and gain Tyrian as an advisor, she will be running shit.

                    We're going to be out of town next week, so we went ahead and watched episode 4 last night following the end of episode 3. It's been a very good season so far, and fun to watch how it greatly diverges from the book (enjoy show watchers! The Tyrion conclusion of episode 3 took almost an entire tome of super boring shit to get to).

                    All of that being said, the conclusion to episode 4 was very weird. From a traditional show standpoint, I don't really get why they shot it the way they did. If you're curious about spoilers:

                     
                    Are Barry the Bold and Greyworm dead? Barry gets straight up stabbed in what appears to be the chest, but what has me questioning it is why they would have the Harpy go for the throat slit only to have Greyworm stop it. I feel like not pulling the trigger with the throat slit in that manner indicates that Barry will still be alive. He's been very important to Dany's development, and they did introduce that Red Priestess...so maybe they'll bring him back to life like Dondarrion? Regardless of no throat slit, SOMETHING has to happen that is magical, because he was stabbed like 4 times.

                      lol "if youre curious about spoilers" ...well geez I am now!!... but I wont click and ruin it for myself.
                      3rd of the way through the season and not much has happened but this was the least action heavy book no ?
                      I just keep saying its back to s1 Game of Talking but this time Im paying closer attention. Briennes reveal about Renley was cool , if I hadnt re-watched on BR recently it would have been the "ooooh I get it" moment about why she was so damn emotional when he died.

                        Well, I just meant if you don't want to just watch the version out there. It's not a book spoiler, it's an episode 4 spoiler. You too can see it if you're so inclined (or you could, if you weren't an HD snob!)!

                        That part is SO much better than the book. In the book, she's kind of just head-over-heels about Renly. Granted, the proclivities of Renly are much less obvious in the book, but it's still something that seemingly everyone but Brienne knows about, and IIRC Jaime even taunts her about it at some point and she's just oblivious/in denial.

                          Lmao @HD snob.

                          Yeah I've heard the Renley thing is way more overt than in the book where it's more alluded to than anything else. I love Briennes character and storyline thus far.

                              Yeah man...we'll probably rewatch this week, just because we don't have anything else to do, but you'll finally be able to hop back on board as far as I know. I'm happy we only caved and watched one of the episodes early.

                              What did you think of episode 4's conclusion?

                                I'm glad I watched them all early, I have HBO GO so I can watch the ones that have aired whenever I want. Definitely plan on refreshing on episodes 3 and 4 before next weekend.
