I'm a relatively casual watcher of the show, but I do read this thread. I'm actually a little put off by the latest Danaerys development. If you want to get your crown back take the boats and the gold and sail away. Don't stop at every fuk city and fix their culture (by RL 20th century standards). Her character just turned self righteous, and this driven leader turned into a royal bitch. I'm Danaerys and I'm keeping your money and will still make you appease me besides. What are you my ex-wife?!

Loved the Tywin/Goff scene. Would you like someone to carry you up the stairs? LOL. He was respectful, but pretty boldly telling the king to stop behaving like a child. And Goff is offended but knows reproaching Tywin might be a mistake. Really the first indications that there are limits to his bad behavior.

Ygritte is both hot and a great character. Making fun of Jon Snow and then telling him he may not tear her imaginary silk dress. Loved it.
