He just acts so awkward and you can definitely tell he is acting a part. The wire had some amazing acting jobs and then you see him and you're like what happened here?

He was a white mayor in Baltimore, you expect him to act normally?

I get that part. I just thought his acting specifically sucked and was quite noticeable to me. When I seen that he had the part of LF I couldn't believe it

She's a very simple and ugly girl that got raped half a hundred times in King's Landing during a riot. She's highborn, but no other highborn would marry her, to where she has to stoop down to marrying scum like Bronn.

Lollys was in Clash of Kings too from what I recall. You've seen her before when you've read.

I think they are going to have a few more characters introduces or reintroduced from the riot scene. Ser Balon Swann has been mentioned/shown in seasons 2 & 3, but hasn't been seen this season.

I wish he had said "Only Cat" instead of "your sister", but it's not a big deal.


I thought it played better in the scene

"Your sister" is a lot more "frick you" than "Only Cat"

I think most people are going to prefer which ever they heard first.

Ok, did someone have to go back and rescue her during the street riot? and she hung out with Sansa before the Blackwater Bay fight?

Has she been shown on the show yet?

In the book yes Ser Preston Greenfield I believe. He was killed in the riots, Ser Balon Swann took his place on the King's Guard.

In the show since Lollys wasn't there, Ser Preston is still alive. Jaime mentioned him earlier this season. So in the show Ser Balon Swann replaced the Hound.

my memory is terrible.

For the readers who have gotten this far in the books, how did you feel the episode did as far as staying true to the LF/Sansa/Lysa scene?

Other than a few changes in wording it's was fine. However it needless changed one of the more memorial lines in the series

Honestly, a bit disappointing, but I started bracing myself for it. It was really the fact that the show spelled it out way too early with Littlefinger being behind literally everything. In the books while Lysa is about to kill Sansa, Littlefinger says there is no need for tears. That word triggers Lysa and then she spills the beans in how she put the Tears of Lys in Jon Arryn's wine and then sent the letter to Cat at his behest. Over the lack of "Only Cat", but think they dropped the ball on how incredible that scene was in the books. Honestly, probably my favorite chapter in the series.

He probably would have had to say "only Catelyn" for some of us Hodors to even know who he was talking about. Some of us are just now figuring out Cersei and Jamie are fricking siblings (SWIDT?). So either way they probably needed to change it.

what about the Dany/Dario part? If it's better in the book, I might need to try to read up to that part.

Dario is even worse in the books.
