With what happened this week during the vote and knowing who cast the deciding vote... That idea stirs my thoughts, 6spd. Maybe the Maester knows or at least suspects?

Yeah, great point Patrick!

I will put my money on this theory. Mostly from what I gleaned from this interview: “Game of Thrones” Creators Talk About Show’s Beginnings, Possible End | Variety

The High Sparrow...what a great episode. The show is definitely setting itself apart from the books, but keeping the core characters and events for a more focused story. That is definitely a good thing as A Dance With Dragons is a bit meandering.

Did anyone enjoy the Brienne and Podrick scene as much as I did?

It is pretty insane how quickly this season is moving and how much they have buzzsawed off from the story in the books. Anyone else enjoying it as much as I am?

For sure. This week's was awesome

There hasn't been as much action in the first part of this season but I have a feeling there is plenty to come shortly!

If things played out they way they did in the books, they would still be introducing characters and maybe be starting on some meandering journeys.

Two things have impressed me about this season:

- Brienne is a badass
- They dragons are more prominent and have been doing more in the show

That scene at the end of this week's episode was awesome with the dragon flying overhead. Not to mention the city they were passing through on the boat. That was just awesome.

Yes, total epicness!

yeah, this week's, not so much :(

I thought the episode was great till the disturbing ending lol

The exchange between Tyrion and Jorah was a good one. And it seems like King's Landing is quickly becoming pretty destabilized. King Tommen looks like such a tool right now.
