I laughed at that yoox. Another thing i feel a bunch of people missed is when they were talking about the beetles, and tyrion was naming all the types of murder, Jamie looked down, raised an eyebrow and said "cousins". People seem to forget he killed his cousin while held captive by Robb Stark's army in order to escape. Just a nice little layer to an already awesome scene.

Speaking of that scene, it does not occur in the books. A lot of people have been talking about all the different meanings of the scene. Obviously there are a lot of things that can be read into the discussion Jamie and Tyrion have, but apparently, its a jab at Orson Scott Card, of Enders Game. Apparently he feels the show is terrible, with a terrible script and that it relies on pornography to cover up its terrible writing. As a big fuck you to Card, they wrote this scene to apparently show off they can write a descent scene not in the books. Pretty funny when you go back and watch it and realize the retarded cousin is named Orson. My wife didn't appreciate the reference because she has never read Ender's Game.

Wow, I didn't know that. Fuck Orson. Ender's Game wasn't that great. If it didn't have that (albeit cool) plot twist at the end, nobody would even be talking about that book, and it damn sure wouldn't have gotten a movie made. Good for the GoT writers.

Agreed. Pretty boring book hinging on one little twist.

You should stop reading this thread and watch all of your missed episodes immediately.
