Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Didn't really love last nights episode but it was kinda cool to see that part of the bald dude's speech to Tyrian that they use in the season 2 trailer.

The other thing about B-Rush is that he never lied. Coach Self would be like, “Did everyone make curfew last night? If you didn’t make curfew, raise your hand.” All of us that broke curfew kept our hands down — except B-Rush. He’d raise his hand and tell on himself. Coach Self would ask him why he didn’t make curfew and he’d say, “Because the club was crackin’!” Everyone would laugh and he’d make B-Rush run a little bit. |

I liked it. My favorite for this season so far.
I liked Tyrion's spy game that outed Pycell, and his conversations with Cersei and then with Varys. I liked the Arya part and the way they handled Yoren's death and Lommy's. I liked the part with Theon and his father and thought they did a good job giving some insight into Theon. And my favorite part was Renly and Margery, Margery was awesome! |

I really like what they've done with the Iron Islands. The casting, sets, and costumes really do an awesome job of conveying the culture. I love how all their clothes are completely salt stained.

The guy playing Varys is a damn fine actor. Just enough gravitas to steal the scene. The best part of the episode.

Yeah, I'm almost sure at least Varys knew what Tyrion was doing.

Yeah, the Theon Greyjoy match was the least plausible one for Myrcella, and Varys didn't buy it for a second.

Varys is really smart and conniving. I'm not sure if I hate him or like him.

Definitely doesn't mean Tyrion will trust the other two at all though. Tyrion is my favorite character by far in the books and the show. |

I don't know, I think LF fell for it because sending him to the Vale to persuade Lysa Arryn to marry her son to Myrcella makes a lot more sense than what was proposed to Varys, plus LF was dying to get his hands on Harrenhall and to be a Lord. That's why he was so pissed about the deception whereas Varys just laughs and gives a speech about power.
