The Hold Steady's version of the Bear and the Maiden fair was beyond fantastic.

As was Pod's skill.

It was a perfect smash cut and all tension was obliterated. A+ trolling by the producers.

Solid episode. Gf loved the Podrick scenes due to her doppelgangers starring role. xD

Little confused about the Theon story being utterly butchered.

While I am loving the series I weep for some of the cut details.

They're doing an interesting take on it to try and fill in some details between Theon losing Winterfell and becoming Reek (reek it rhymes with sneak). It seems like the person who "saved" him is pretty clearly Ramsey and he will lull him into a sense of security, learn that Bran and Rickon are not dead, and then get on with his transformation into Reek with the flaying and the torture.

Intredasting how they still surprise me with the editing of the story in the show. I think the Blackfish is perfect and I did not realize Catelyn's brother was such an aloof scrub. For some reason that wasn't clear to me from reading the book.

Love the willow guy as the Thenn (forgot name lol). Arya got fat.

this is exactly what happens to Theon in the books essentilly (minus the rapey bit). we just dont know about it til book 5, but we are told at that point. Ramsay "tests" Theon multiple times. he enjoys the cat and mouse games, hunting Theon, etc. and yes the guy that "set him free" was Ramsay.

one asshole made a comment saying HBO put tyrion as master of the coin that has to deal with the debt as a shot at modern times political BS thats going on. and i just /facepalm thinking how dumb these assholes must be not to realize this story is from books written well before the debt crisis, and has nothing to do with it. /rant off

Not discussing the validity what what you saw, but it is CERTAINLY possible for HBO to frame shift within the constraints of asoiaf canon and punch up this or that scene or cut this or that scene which agrees or disagrees with their politics or the image they are trying to portray.

Gf pointed out how Podrick got that pussy for free because he was the war hero that saved Tyrionn and are looking forward to a non-Littlefinger regime change. Thought it was cute they wanted to pop his cherry.

I interpreted that as he didn't do anything with them and was naive enough to think he could tell Bronn and Tyrion he got it for free. Maybe I'm wrong though.
