SpoilerTV has leaked the synopses for the second and third episodes of season 3 of Game of Thrones. We’ve hidden them after the break, since they could be considered spoilers.
UPDATE: Darquemode has provided the leaked synopses for eps 304 and 305 as well.
Episode 3.02 – Dark Wings, Dark Words
Sansa says too much; Shae asks Tyrion for a favor; Jaime finds a way to pass the time; Arya encounters the Brotherhood Without Banners.
Episode 3.03 – Walk of Punishment
Tyrion gains new responsibilities; Jon is taken to the Fist of the First Men; Daenerys meets with the slavers; Jaime strikes a deal with his captors.
Episode 3.04 – And Now His Watch Is Ended
The Night’s Watch takes stock; Varys meets his better; Arya is taken to the commander of the Brotherhood; Daenerys makes an exchange.
Episode 3.05 – Kissed by Fire
The Hound is judged by the gods; Jaime is judged; Jon proves himself; Robb is betrayed; Tyrion learns the cost of weddings.
Winter Is Coming: It looks like they moved Arya’s introduction to the Brotherhood back an episode as an earlier leak had that bit in episode one. What do you make of the rest of these described scenes and what it all means for the pacing of season 3? Keep in mind that these synopses are not exhaustive and only list some of what you can expect to see in a given episode. With that said, feel free to speculate away in the comments!

All looks good to me considering they are obviously leaving spoiler stuff out.

“Jaime strikes a deal with his captors.” < Is this before or after the hand situation ?
Because I do remember a deal with Roose but that’s after the aforementioned situation. And I can’t remember of any deal before that… Well… Jaime tried to make a deal… but was rebuked.
KellQuote Reply
Jaime/Roose conversation in episode 3. Nice. Tyrion becoming master of coin?
And what’s Jaime’s way to pass the time? :o
YagoQuote Reply
Sansa says too much;
Reveals the Tyrell plan to marry her to “Wyllas” (which I think might just be changed to Loras for the show), allows Lannisters to set up Tyrion/Sansa marriage
Tyrion gains new responsibilities
Named master of coin and/or marriage to Sansa is revealed
I have NO idea what “Jaime finds a way to pass the time” could be other than toy with Brienne.
MishQuote Reply
Sansa says too much – Dinner with the Queen of Thorns? She admits Joffrey is a royal prick?
Tyrion gains new responsibilities – Master of Coin?
Jaime finds a way to pass time – He fights Brienne? (the fact that on the next episode he already has captors could suggest that they are captured right after their fight, just as it happens in the books.
Joan CatalàQuote Reply
I wonder how Jaime passes the time exactly…
ArnelQuote Reply
Being a huge dick towards Brienne, no ?
KellQuote Reply
I wonder if striking a deal refers to Jamie standing up for Brienne. Also I don’t recall Tyrion “gaining responsibility” other than marrying Sansa, which isn’t really “responsibility”. Ah well, I like being surprised.
DaveQuote Reply
Dave,
Tyrion will be named Master of Coins… much to his displeasure.
KellQuote Reply
‘Jon is taken to the Fist of the First Men’
Well, there goes my hope that ‘And Now His Watch is Ended’ referred to the devastation/dead watchmen at the fist.

which means that in episode 3 Littlefinger is gone from KL… What will he do in the rest of the episodes?

About Sansa: That makes sense, Explains why Loras didn’t ask to be in the Kingsguard. Would work better for the audience when its ripped away

I think LF will marry Lysa Arryn this season, as both her and Robyn have shot scense for this season.
MishQuote Reply
We haven’t heard much about Robb and Cat yet! When do you guys say they should introdue their story?? It shouldn’t be later than episode 3..
The Sansa says too much is definitely the tea with the Queen of Thornes and Margery where she confess about Joffrey, such an epic scene!! And Jaimie strikes a deal…hmmmm it sound like someone is losing a hand!
RhaegarQuote Reply
ahaha love “Jaime finds a way to pass time” aka driving Brienne nuts xD As for the deal the next episode, dunno what that can be except maybe the saphires bit to avoid her being raped ? but that’s not really a ‘deal’…

what the heck is the favor Shae asks Tyrion for???
are they going to “grey” her character a little more they were a little too lovey dovey for my taste in S2
ACVGQuote Reply
Arnel,
Agreed, also once the Loras/Sansa marriage falls thru, Loras is free to take the black anyways. They can still play with Sansa’s love of the classic hero/knight that is Loras, with the irony of him being gay.
MishQuote Reply
Hmm Sansa says too much…
In the book she tells Dontos of the Tyrell plot to marry her to Wyllas and Dontos informs to Littlefinger who in turn tells the Lannisters. I guess in the show they will cut out the middle-man and have Sansa tells Littlefinger. Silly girl!
HoundedQuote Reply
I think people’s guesses are generally way too fast paced.
For example, I think the only big plot point listed here is Jaime losing his hand at the end of episode three. I believe he offers them a deal, but they are unreceptive, right? Otherwise, Sansa’s is likely just telling Olenna/Marg the truth about Joff (how is she supposed to spill about Loras/Willas when it’s unlikely that’s even an option in Episode 2)? I mean, I suppose Tyrion’s new responsibility could be Sansa, i.e., knowing he is going to marry her, but man, that seems fast.
I like that Jon is going to pass the fist. Did that happen in the book?

Winter, were you drunk when you posted this? The spelling and general use of the English language is appalling. I can hardly understand some of it!

Seems the pacing is slowed down, a great thing , truly. No need to fit an entire book in one season allows them to focus on characters and not trying to reach a scene qouta.
Omar BrownQuote Reply
Im glad that they establish the brotherhood early on… a few of my non-reader friends didnt catch on when it was mentioned in S2.
happy that ‘Slaver’s Bay’ is gonna be early too…
gisizzlahQuote Reply
Sansa saying too much will be the dinner with the Queen of Thorns, I was actually expecting that in episode 3 but whatever
Shae asking Tyrion a favour will probably be about the singer Symon, I’m glad they put that story onto TV, it means something will be happening in King’s Landing!
Jaime passing the time will be going to the inn of the kneeling man I expect, and Arya will meet the Brotherhood without banners there later in the episode!
Tyrion’s new responsibility will be him being made master of coin, I didn’t expect that so early too! I thought that would be in episode 4
Jon being taken to the Fist of the First Men will be when Mance is suspicious of him, because he didn’t give the right number when he spoke about how many men in the Night’s Watch or something, and then in the next episode I’m guessing there’ll be a whole ordeal about him lying to him, and then Ygritte’ll say they’re lovers, I’m guessing he’ll see Mance’s army in this episode too
Daenerys meeting with the slavers is exactly where I expected it to be, it seems that storyline isn’t rushing ahead like in King’s Landing, maybe this means Joffrey’s wedding might happen :o
Jaime ‘striking a deal with his captors’ is happening WAY too early too! I expected that in like episode 5! Maybe this means he’ll be at King’s Landing by the end of the season for…. Joffrey’s wedding, all signs are pointing in this direction and I’m not sure whether I like it or not
So far there’s been nothing in any of these synopses about Catelyn & Robb, or Theon’s fate – I know that doesn’t mean nothing will happen, just interesting to see how much importance they’ve placed on the stories in King’s Landing in the synopses when in the first half of Storm of Swords, nothing of much importance does really happen there.
MattQuote Reply
Well, he already was last season…
YagoQuote Reply
Dave,
Oh yeah, the sapphire’s lie would make sense. I have to say, they seem to be moving through Jaime’s arc a lot faster than I would have expected them to. I’m starting to think the people who thought he might get to King’s Landing before the Purple Wedding are right.
sunspearQuote Reply
Here I am to help u guys out :):
Sansa says to much: calls Joff a monster to the queen if thorns or tells ser Dontos about her plan to marry a Tyrell or maybe both!
Jaime finds a way to pass the time: by fighting Brienne obviously
Tyrion gains new responsibilities: he’s made master of coin. This doesn’t mean that LF has to leave right away though.
Jaime strikes a deal with his captors: this is obviously jaime offering Locke Tywin’s pardon or gold if he frees him. To answer the request Locke takes Jaime’s hand
Dany meets the slavers: Dany meets the unsullied in Astopor. Meaning that an episode 4 we are likely to have the dracarys scene like I thought!
TurncloakQuote Reply
Jaime passing the time will be fighting Brienne methinks and striking a deal will be the whole incident with his hand we kinda know this from what has already been leaked
Wasn’t Tyrion made master of coin which would be new responsibilities and if Sansa has said too much then the possibility that he knows who his future wife will be
KatrineQuote Reply
Turncloak,
I don’t think the Dracarys scene will be in Episode 4, I’m expecting that in episode 6 and her arc to be
Episode 1- Meeting Arstan at the docks, buying the boats
Episode 2- On the way to Astapor, Daenerys speaking to Arstan about Rhaegar Targaryen, the kiss scene with Jorah
Episode 3- Arrival at Astapor, meeting with the master slaver to talk about Unsullied
Episode 4- Conversations with Jorah and Arstan about whether to buy the Unsullied
Episode 5- Another meeting with the Master Slaver, offering Drogon for 8000 Unsullied
Episode 6- Jorah talks to Daenerys about her deal – the quote about Rhaegar being honorable and dying, dracarys in the last scene
Episode 7- Travelling to Yunkai
Episode 8- Arrival at Yunkai, meeting with the Sellsword captains
Episode 9- No appearance, focusing on Catelyn & Robb and stuff
Episode 10- The battle at Yunkai and Mysha scene
MattQuote Reply
Any info on what they are going to do with Theon this season? In the books he wasn’t even mentioned until he popped back up as Reek
Card of DoomQuote Reply
With Theon I think they could either do all the flashback sequences with Kyra he thinks about or the scenes in A Dance With Dragons up to his meeting with the Ironmen at Moat Caitlin, and just slow his story down through to Season 6 while everything catches up – something that can be done

Whether or not the PW will happen or not this season is an extremely tired discussion, but I think it’s fair to speculate whether or not Jaime will be present. (He could arrive in KL towards the end of the season without the wedding happening yet, for example.

She could still meet some of them in Ep1 and then a larger group in Ep2, didn’t it happen that way in the book, she only met three of them to start of with IIRC.

ebevan91Quote Reply
Tom O’ Sevens,
True, but it was revealed that Mero of Braavos won’t appear until episode 8, and the last episode of the season will be called ‘Mhysa’ which gives a clear picture of what will happen in that episode, and I doubt they will spend half of the season at Yunkai, as the events there make up one chapter of the Storm of Swords book, and the Astapor events make up 2 chapters. It would only be logical to have the first Daenerys chapter plot over episode 1+2, the second and third over 3,4,5+6 and even then it would leave the fourth to really stretch over the last four episodes. I think episode 5 is called kissed by fire in reference to Ygritte + Jon’s scene in the cave and the scene with Beric Dondarrion and his flaming sword – not the Dracarys scene – we haven’t been given the name of episode 6 yet but my guess is that it’ll allude to this scene. Also they will need time to develop the new characters – Daario, Missandei, Arstan etc. before they do something dramatic like the Dracarys scene – that’s what they’ve done so far in seasons 1 and 2.
I guess all we can do is wait for the episode 4 synopsis though.
MattQuote Reply
Tom O’ Sevens,
Doesn’t the Brotherhood take Arya to the Inn shortly after capturing her in the forest? After Brienne and Jamie move on?

“Kissed by fire” has nothing to do with dragons. The wildlings call redhead’s “Kissed by fire” so it about Ygritte, maybe even the cave scene and the Lords kiss…

I guess nobody knows whether the PW will be this season, that’s why there’ll always be speculation about it until June I’m afraid! I didn’t think it would be happening, but now I’m actually leaning more towards it happening from recent news
MattQuote Reply
I don’t know why people keep insisting on the PW happening this season.
It won’t. It would feel rushed. Moving it to season 4 is the right way to go.
Besides, didn’t Aidan Gillen say that he’ll have a ship or boat (something like that) on S4?
So there you go.

In the synopses for “Valar Dohaeris”, Arya is not mentioned, doesn’t mean she wont appear in the episode but she is not mentioned in the synopses and that is not the first time we haven’t seen a major character appear in a episode if that is true, just like with “The North Remembers” she finally made an appearance in the final ten seconds of the episode…

Juego de tronosQuote Reply
If they change Sansa’s potential marriage partner from Wyllas to Loras, wouldn’t Loras’s duty as a Kingsguard be violated. Maybe in the show they switch it to Loras, to make the Tyrell’s look more arrogant and power hungry.
The_WandererQuote Reply
Loras will probably be forced to join the Kingsguard by Tywin.
ebevan91Quote Reply
ebevan91,
That does provide some symetry…
Aerys had Jaime join the Kingsguard in part to spite Tywin (Jaime and Cesei too I guess) and Tywin could do it to spite the Tyrells.
Personally I like the dynamics in the book more…..
DarquemodeQuote Reply
Dave,
If Jaime makes it to King’s Landing before Joff dies, then Brienne makes it to KL while Sansa’s still there, so she’ll want to keep her safe, effectively eliminating most of her story in Book 4.
GregQuote Reply
If it is the last scene of the season finale, the aftermath, including Sansa’s escape and everything concerning it would be shown in season 4. Just saying.
grabboQuote Reply
ebevan91,
He doesn’t even need to force him. Loras’ could be very unhappy with the idea of marrying a woman and some manipulative talk from some other character could plant the idea in his head to join the Kingsguard against his family’s wishes.

Those kinds of flashbacks wouldn’t work too well on TV, IMO.
zodQuote Reply
Arya could still appear on episode one. They might just include a few scenes of Arya with just Hot Pie and Gendry before throwing them in with a bunch of other characters. (Ive just seen IMDB and Maisie Williams has appeared in 19 episodes, more than anyone besides Lena Heady and Peter Dinklage who both appeared in Blackwater, so i could see her appearing in all episodes this year)
And i really hope we see someone from the brotherhood recognise Arya and have an episode end with him telling the others and bending the knee to her :)

The Dragon Demands,
There was a Making Of post in HBO’s blog about how they had set fire to a stuntman in Iceland, they referred to it as THE scene, so I think we will have the Battle of the Fist. I suppose the stuntman wold be playing a wight, since fire is the only thing that works for them. Maybe we’ll just have snippets for a flashback or maybe a whole opening scene for the third season (it’d be cool to start just where we let off).
Joan CatalàQuote Reply
Cary Storm,
I wasn’t able to glean anything new from any of this, and I didn’t pretend to. My opinion on the issue was established when it was revealed that they were splitting ASOS over two seasons. It was strengthened when I learned Sansa and Tyrion’s wedding would be in episode 8 and the RW would be in episode 9. Couple that with the fact that they failed to cast Mace Tyrell and Oberyn Martell and it really was quite obvious to me. Also, every other major event from season 3 has been leaked. Had the most hated character in the series died, we would have heard so by now, IMO.
I know you were joking around, and I hear you. So, touché.
Tyrion PimpslapQuote Reply
TV!Loras isn’t part of the KG yet; I was expecting to see him don the white cloak in the Season 2 finale, but that never happened. I’m pretty sure that writers did this on purpose so that he could be betrothed to Sansa. Near the end of the throne room scene in “Valar Morghulis”, Loras glances up at Sansa with a slightly irritated expression on his face; he knows that his family is planning to marry him to the Stark girl, and he’s not at all happy about it.
siberia82Quote Reply
Mixing up the show with the books again. Then Sansa and Loras will definitely be an item in this season
The_WandererQuote Reply
If any of these scenarios occur on the show, it will most likely take place in Season 4 because Finn Jones recently revealed in an interview that he doesn’t wear armour in Season 3.
siberia82Quote Reply
Amarien,
I am not sure what you mean:
“Valar Dohaeris” is the first episode of the third season of Game of Thrones. It is the twenty-first episode of the series overall.
Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward, Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out, and Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Arya runs into the Brotherhood Without Banners. Dany sails into Slaver’s Bay.
DanQuote Reply
OK so if Dany doesn’ meet the Slavers til ep 3, what is she doing for the first 2 eps? And it’s strange how there’s no mention of Theon considering we all thought the title of the 3rd ep was in reference to him. Not really sure what WoP refers to now. Unless they’re changing the scene from the books where Kraznys hacks off that Unsullied’s nipple and making it more graphic or something.
GGQuote Reply
GG,
She has to meet Arstan (and unfortunately Not meeting SB), avoid an assassination attempt, find a boat, travel to Astapor, be forcefully kissed by Jorah, be pissed at Jorah, marvel at the beauty of her flying babies, discuss with Arstan. Surely enough to fill in two episodes which are already stacked with things happening all over Westeros.
KellQuote Reply
I have to wonder what the synopsis for episode 30 is going to be, especially if it’s revealed ahead of time.

Where did you get that synopses from? Because the synopses I was referring to in my previous comment was straight from HBO.com, where in which it reads as follows..
“Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward. Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver’s Bay.”
There is no mention of Arya?

Episode 3.04 – And Now His Watch Is Ended
The Night’s Watch takes stock; Varys meets his better; Arya is taken to the commander of the Brotherhood; Daenerys makes an exchange.
Episode 3.05 – Kissed by Fire
The Hound is judged by the gods; Jaime is judged; Jon proves himself; Robb is betrayed; Tyrion learns the cost of weddings.

Yes I know but that title could be used as a play on words. Kissed by fire as in kissed by a red head and kissed by fire as in kissed by actual fire. Writers love this kind of stuff

The cost of weddings might actually be literal. Tyrion is master of coin and Joffrey’s wedding, with its seventy-seven courses and such, is going to be pretty expensive. There was plenty of discussion of the preparations in the book.

Tyrion PimpslapQuote Reply
“Jaime is judged” is probably his confession to Brienne at the Harrenhal bath since he loose his hand in ep 3 or so. He’s finally ‘judged’ for his most famous act.
FayQuote Reply
Im suprised to see that Bran and Stannis havent been mentioned in any of these. Im sure there are other main characters that i have forgotten that havent been mentioned but those two play big parts. Bran has new characters added to his story this year so i was expecting to see some mention of Bran meeting ‘strangers’ or something.
And i really hope they feature Arya a lot this season. She was my fave part of the third book (with the brotherhood and the hound) and Maisie Williams is just amazing so i hope we get a few scenes per episode with her. I really want to see the scene where they bend the knee to her, and hope she has a few one on one scnes with Beric similar to last season with Yoren.

I had suspected the bear pit would be Jaime’s finale for the season. After that nothing else of note in the books as I recall… until he arrives back in KL and.If the bear pi is in Episode 7 would that mean we do not see Jaime after that episode?
Seems unlikely to me, but with so much going on in the Riverlands, beyond the Wall and elsewhere…. maybe that is his last Season 3 appearance.
DarquemodeQuote Reply
Darquemode,
I think Jaime will be in at least 6 or 7 of the first 8 episodes and probably the finale. So he should appear in 7 or 8 episodes this season. If the bear pit scene is in episode 7 then I believe he wouldn’t appear again until the finale, where we could see the aftermath, with Brienne being treated and them preparing to head for KL as they foreshadow his arrival in S4.
Tyrion PimpslapQuote Reply
I’m relieved if the betrayal points to this only. With the ambitious pace of character introductions and events, I considered the Karstark scene omitted. Thankfully,
it would appear that the Frey wedding happens much later. Still, sad events follow
Robb and the Northmen from here on .
WildSeedQuote Reply
Don’t worry, Villane is right. In one of the making of videos there was a scene of Robb and Karstark discussing vengeance, so it’s in.
NezzerQuote Reply
Agree. I like that as Jaime’s arc in S3. Foreshadowing his return to KL as a different man and soon to face some challenging family situations.
Count me among those who are curious about the “Varys meets his better” mention. “Meets” as in “for the first time”? Or “better” meaning someone who out-maneuvered him? Littlefinger? Queen of Thorns?

It would be awesome see Jaime and Brienne going to KL in thee 7th episode along with ‘Bear and the Maiden Fair’, and the next time only in 4th season. Righteous farewell. Maybe they appear in season finale just arriving and knowing about PW, and talking about RW. Poor Brienne. I’m suspecting that PW will be shown in 3th season and the final shot of ‘Mhysa’ should be Dany obvious scene, Cersei’s screams, and Nymeria carries Cat’s body out
the river.

I am guessing a certain somebody named Kraznys mo Nakloz is going to get his eyeballs melted in this episode. His “watch is ended,” right? I could also see them killing the Lord Commander early during this episode, more obviously…

Every topic goes back to the same argument…grrgh!
EW has confirmed what the wedding at King’s Landing will be: It is Sansa and Tyrion’s wedding
Can this argument die now?

Nezzer,
Thanks for the reply. I thought Karstark had his chance to voice this when S2
Catelyn had Brienne scurry away with Jaime for the exchange. I understand
better now. In a few weeks, everyone will be on the same page with onscreen
views , anticipating the opportunity to critique the script :D
For a while all I could think about was the Fist of the First Men and Mance’s
appearance with Jon, that’s been replaced with Edmure and Blackfish’s.
The dramas are really unfolding this season, with sustained interest for
season four. Darquemode and others scored high with the latest discreet finds.

Varys meets his better? Illyrio? Perhaps he’s the “old friend”?

Man, “Robb is betrayed”, episode 3.05… If doesn’t happen what MUST HAPPEN THERE, just because Robb is the popular guy with the illiterates that can read a book and only watch TV, I swear that HBO is going to feel the rage of all real ASOIAF fans in the world. I don’t care if GRRM is finally becoming a multimillionaire thanks to the illiterates. I WANT HBO TO RESPECT THE BOOKS AND FOLLOW THE PLOT! Not one inch should be given to the illiterates and their social network BS. GO READ THE DAMN BOOKS! TV IS GOING TO MAKE YOU STUPID! The episode should be called RED and not “kissed by fire…” The day that I will feel a big disturbance in the force like the cries of million illiterate-fanboys seeing their beloved wolves getting what they deserve…

LOL man, this is the Karstark betrayal, not the RW

It’s not the RW. It’s going to be when he declares Rickard Karstark a traitor and beheads him, I bet.
The BearQuote Reply
That’s the one that I’m most intrigued by too. I’m guessing it might include Varys’ lines from the trailer.
Steven SwansonQuote Reply
I think that the “Bear and the Maiden Fair” actually refers to Mormont’s death (Sam will kill the Wight in 3) and Sansa learning of her marriage to Tyrion and having to lose her virginity to him instead of Loras. Someone said that the episode title isn’t as literal as everyone says it will be. The bear pit scene will probably be in episode 9 or 10. I suppose Jaime and Brienne could rest for the remainder of the season.
But I could be wrong…

Kell,
True but, according to episode 1 synopsis, she sails into Slaver’s Bay in ep 1. So what’s she doing in ep 2?

I wonder if this season they’re still going to have every character in every episode, or have a block storytelling-type of narrative i.e. focusing on some characters for an episode and others in the next, instead of mixing it up.

Episode 5 oh dear..it will hurt. Its so nice that in a way everyone is going through the same”ish” sort of theme..
lonasQuote Reply
My guess is that ‘Varys meets his better’ refers to that Cyvasse game we have be seen in most of the trailers. In a version of Tyrion’s game with Haldon in ADwD Varys and Tyrion will play for the truth or something like that, and in the end Varys will lose and tell Tyrion the sad story how he was unmanned. This should have been in season 2, and I really think the show should start to explore Varys’ background.
Varys is absent during most parts of ASoS, he only appears in some of the Tyrion chapters, and I think we’ll get more than just a few invented Varys scenes in the next two seasons. They will continue to show us how Varys gradually alienates Tyrion from his family and/or takes advantage of how Tyrion’s family mistreats him….

They are probably pieces showing the position of various factions on a map, not game pieces as they represent the major Houses.
Most likely the Assassination atempt and meeting Arstan has been moved from the Docks of Qarth to the Docks of Astapor. We know the show has Dany aquiring enough gold to buy a ship so there is no need for ships sent by Illyrio to meet her in Qarth.

Episode 4! Dany stealing the unsullied and goodbye to poor Lord Commander Mormont! So cool..
Kissed by the fire…hope they don’t show much nudity restrictions here, hottest scene since Dany+Drogo coming soon

Mormegil,
‘Varys meets his better’ could refer to him losing an actual game. That would make sense insofar as those synopses often have a sarcastic undertone. ‘Dany makes an exchange’, yes, a very bloody exchange, ‘Jon proves himself’ referring to Jon actually submitting to Ygritte, and so on.
That said, I’d be very surprised if Varys background would not be explored in season 3. His ‘It has been a long time, my old friend’ may actually indicate that Illyrio is going to make another visit to King’s Landing…

Lord Varys,
I would love to see more of Vrys’s background explored too!
Let’s hope it happens!
This was added later at SpTV…

Wow. You sound like a major douche bag. Just because people prefer to watch the TV show doesn’t mean they never read anything. And for someone who thinks TV makes you stupid, why are you watching the show anyway. Heck, why so you even own a TV?

Interesting that Episode 5 apparently features both my favorite scene in the entire book (The Hound v. Beric Dondarrion–which is one of the five best chapters in the entire series) and my least favorite (the cave scene with Jon and Ygritte–sorry, but I never cared for their “relationship” one iota).

I think it literally means that Tyrion learns the cost of weddings. Remember how he was baffled at the PW expenses early in the book?
