Game of Thrones Day!

[dotty]

This ... felt like a slower episode than last week's? Not a whole lot happened, on the whole? But there were good bits, like so:

• Aww, Jaime, sticking up for Brienne! Almost makes me forget that time you pushed a kid out of a window and that other time when you were banging your sister (oh wait, that was ALL the time). I was spoiled about the hand, but I approve of the sentiment - Jaime really needed a reminder to stop playing the "My Dad" card. Most annoying use of it since Draco Malfoy. Anyway, I'm really really happy Brienne wasn't raped and that all the attempted rape stayed at that in this episode.
• Which I guess brings us to Theon, which ... I admit to being confused about. I just saw something on Tumblr before suggesting Barry (Ramsey, I think his name is here? But lets stick with Barry, he'll always be Barry to me.) was actually a bad guy - well, bad as in not-on-Theon's-side, anyway. IDK, maybe that was wrong but I keep waiting for him to turn on Theon, and the longer it goes the less that makes sense, so I guess I was misinformed. Anyway, again: no rape is ... well, you know what I mean.
• Hands up (sorry Jaime, bad choice of words! XD) if you think Dany has an ace up her sleeve with this dragon selling business. Like, I feel like probably she has them pretty trained by now, and she's the mother of dragons so she wouldn't sell her baby - so she's probably got that dragon trained to fry that slimeball slave seller and then fly straight back to Dany. I love that she nabbed the translator girl, and that the translator girl seemed suitably impressed/gave her that "gurl, you got style" smirk at the end. (Meanwhile, how delightful is Jorah's jealousy at the new guy? I feel like he's one sentence away from yelling "I LIKED HER FIRST, I HAVE DIBS!" and then stomping off in a huff.)
• What else... I'm glad Hot Pie is gone, suitably cute/funny final scene but he was kinda getting on my nerves (plus now Arya and Gendry can have some alone time - #coughcough, #iknowthatshipisdoomed, #yesiknowthisisnttumblr).
• Wanted more Jon Snow/Ygritte scenes, that one barely even counts. Ick to the other watchers being back at that creepy guy's camp too. (Hah, I just realized there are 2 former Skins-actors on here now. IDK, that amuses me for some reason.)
• IDEK what that was with Podrick, are we seriously supposed to believe they gave him his money back for being awesome in bed on his first go? Either he didn't go through with it - but then dragging that reveal out seems really unnecessary because: big whoop - or ... I dunno. Maybe he has a crown-shaped birthmark on his ass, making him the True Heir to the throne (as long as Gendry's not around)? *Shrug* Weird storyline.

I think that was about it. In conclusion: Team Dany for the win!
