I didn't get that impression but it does make sense. It would certainly move along Sams story.

Episode 4 has been leaked, for those so inclined to watch a few days early.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Just remembered that Jaime is Danish too.

Leaked scenes are all over YouTube right now. I recommend avoiding it entirely until Sunday night if you don't want some spoilers.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'll watch it on sunday.  I'm not that interested in braving the wasteland of torrents and Putlocker.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I ran across a theory that I like quite a bit, and which answers some questions about how Euron was so knowledgeable about the movement of Dani's fleets:  Varys is betraying Dani, just as she suspected.  That's what the foreshadowing about burning him alive, and him dying in Westeros, was all about.

That's also why Tyrion boasted about being an excellent judge of character, right after he vouched for Varys... to set up some irony.

Is part of the theory being that Cersei and her bestest buddy Qyburn have Varys' beloved "little birds" as hostages?  I think they might be the only thing that he actually truly cares about other than himself.  Maybe.

So... found a source for the full download and watched it as Sunday is going to be very busy for me and I probably wouldn't have had a chance to watch it till Monday night at the earliest.  All I'll say is... whoa. :o

The theory didn't mention that, but it's a thought.

Now, thinking about last week's title, I realized that "the Queen's Justice" wasn't just the "justice" meted out by Cersei on the Sand Snakes and Danyris on Varys, but also the Queen of Thorn's on Cersei.  That last little barb about killing Joffrey is going to be big, because Cersei will refuse to accept that Tyrion is innocent of the crime, and that will drive a wedge between her and Jamie.  I suspect that we have seen the last time the two fuck.
