Technically, the guy is alive.

Ah ok, I couldn't remember the scene completely accurately.

this is why i hate tv shows / movies based on books.
spoilers, they be everywhere.
While I agree with the premise, I just can't buy him as the murderer here based on what has been shown in the episodes.

Just because we haven't seen any actual killings arranged by Varys, I wouldn't put it past him. Unless you think he doesn't have the balls for it.
I think Dany's pace is realistic though. She is marching, on foot, a vast army and that takes time. Would you prefer they continuously cut to them eating and goofing around before Mareen? And once they did show up, they had to give some kind of 'cliff hanger' and display how she can get people to he cause. In slave cities where slaves outnumber the masters, showing up and saying "rebel and be free, btw I got an army and dragons to back you up!" is a pretty good way to take a city.
They are showing all of the stuff that is happening in Westeros rather than Dany, because her story itself is rather disconnected from everything else at this point. I mean, there is the threat she will eventually come to Westeros and a few other minor things, but her actions aren't really effecting the 7 kingdoms at all right now.
I think his problem is they are showing too much of her. She's in every episode, they could have easily cut her 2nd episode scenes.
yes, but that doesn't make for good TV!
I was spoiled by watching seasons 1-3 on DVD not too long ago, where when I had been subjected to such nonsense episodes, I could just pop in the next episode. Now, I have to watch this season like all the other plebs
Believe me--I don't mind length and such pacing; but there's a difference when it takes her a few episodes to deal with a misogynist (made for some great dialogue) before burning down his city in an epic payoff, to walking up a path for 3 episodes.

Tywin would never kill Tyrion in a way that hurt the family name (murder, letting him be captured, treason...). He might despite Tyrion, but he understands that Tyrion's fate could easily weaken the Lannister name. Cersei is simply a moron. She cares nothing past her own narrow ambitions and believes she is smarter than she really is. Tywin would never do anything that would hurt his family intentionally.
Yep, I am in the exact same boat as you. Watched the first three seasons on Blu, now it is annoying having to wait week-to-week. I do enjoy being able to discuss it here now though.
Also I understand they are somewhat hamstrung with Dany's storyline and how they need to present it, but it does not mean I have to love every minute of it.

I still think it was Tywin and Cersei. If you think it's a simple as "Littlefinger did it!" then you haven't been paying attention. Why would they reveal the truth so soon after carefully setting up so many suspects?
Ugh. It's like we aren't even watching the same show.
I guess I'm in the minority, because outside of King's Landing, I find Daenerys' storyline the most interesting (narrowly beating out the continuing adventures of Arya and the Hound). I don't care about Bran at all, I don't really care about Sam & Gilly or the Night's Watch vs. the Wildlings (although I'm sure that will pick up when the two sides actually meet in battle, which I'm assuming will happen relatively soon), I don't care about the Boltons or the Greyjoys (although that's another one that could get good if they meet in battle), and I really, really, really don't care about Stannis... What else is there? The show can't just be the political intrigue of King's Landing, they need something to break it up, and Daenerys' sacking of slave cities and increasing cabal of perpetual friend-zone military advisers is slightly more interesting to me than Arya and the Hound (as entertaining and informative as it is learning the proper etiquette for ordering chicken).
Joffery is irredeemable and she finally realized it and that something had to be done about it when Tywin confronted her. The only reason I might doubt it is because she seemed genuinely happy during the wedding and even said so.
..surely you're joking?Tyrion's whore wife was a Lannister by name and what did Tywin do to her, again?
Didn't he have the guy who castrated him, or some other grave insult, shipped back to him in a box? He opened the box with Tyrion there in the room IIRC.
what id' like to know is why that bastard Jon Snow just left Ygritte there and ran, he saw Shaggydog and Summer so he had to know that Bran and Rickon were close.

I wondered that myself. My only assumption (besides the fact that she had already put an arrow in him before he could do anything...), is that while he knew he could be together with her, she wouldn't be with him as a Crow--nor would the other Crows tolerate it. I think he feels his duty is first and foremost as a Nightwatch to defend the Wall. That is the promise he made to Halfhand when he infiltrated Manse's camp.
Had he his druthers, I think J Snow would be a Crow and have his wild woman, but she would never go for it--nor would the other Crows.

What I don't get is why Jon Snow wouldn't take a chance to kill Mance. He infiltrated the camp, had a chance, and didn't take it. Sure, he would have died shortly after (or worse), but Mance would be dead and the clans would likely fall apart and be wiped out by the Walkers.
I think his reasoning for not staying to find Bran and Rickon was because his own wolf had "left" and might have assumed theirs did as well. Or, he knew they were in the area and would likely be in trouble if the wildlings found them. So, he fled to have them give chase rather than stick around and possible finding Bran and Rickon.
Episode 1 showed them heading towards Mereen, don't show them in episode 2, episode 3 they arrive.Right, because no one would get to episode 3 and say "wait, how did they get here?".
