A GAME OF THRONES - Discussion Thread

It is a power struggle in a way, or a game.

If Sansa were to marry Loras Tylrell, that could give the Tyrells an in with the North. The Eyrie and their bannermen would benefit the Lanisters.

Yes, Littlefinger is going to the Eyrie to marry Kat's sister. And yes, Loras is gay and Margery is trying to set him up with Sansa. They are both moves to try and gain power for each family they are working for or part of. The Eyrie would help the Lanisters, and as they said in the episode, Sansa could be a key to gaining the North.

So basically the Lannisters dont want him marrying Catelynnes sister? Wouldnt they rather have him marry Sansa?
Sansa marrying Loras would help them as well, no?

No, they do want him marrying her sister. That is who they are going to have him marry.

I think Margaery and her grandmother have a different agenda of their own apart from the Lannisters. She previously stated that she wants to be THE queen.

LOL, Im talking about Littlefinger.


Of course Margaery will become queen when she marrry's Joffrey.

OK, I am confused then as to what you are asking. The Lannisters want Littlefinger to marry Catelyns sister so they can have the Eryie as their ally.

Obviously she will be the queen. I think she wants to be THE queen without a king.

Don't want to give away any spoilers, but since they are following to books pretty close these questions regarding Littlefinger and Sansa should get explained more over the course of the season.

Trust me, I'm most likely confused here.

To me, wouldnt the Lannsiters want Littlefinger to marry Sansa, because she is next in line after Rob, and therefore she would be the rightful owner of the armies and riches of the North?

I get that Margaery wants Sansa to marry Loras, so the Tyrells would get Winterfells power/lands, but wouldnt that in turn help the lannisters, since she is marrying Joffrey? Or are Tyrells trying to eventually takeover the Lannisters? :crazy: :crazy:

OK, I am on the same page now. I agree with everything you said. Like PJsteelerfan said, I think we need to just be patient.

great episode.
dany's scene at the end was so good. just wish it was longer.. favorite scene so far in the season..

they should've set up the resentment towards Mormont better but that was a great scene as well.

man, Bolton's men make the Lannisters look like the good guys..

the Queen of Thorns dominated the episode.. she was the "Tyrion" of the episode for me..

seeing some of the Starks reunite is really nice to see even if it's just a creepy dream..

All I can say is RAMSEY!!!!!!

makes you want to just blurt out the clear answers to the confusion doesn't it??? I have a friend who is a big GOT fan and he hasn't read the books so when we talk about the series all I can do is tell him to remember the game.

Just so those who have not read the books are clear Littlefinger is going to the Eyrie to marry Catlyn's sister Lysa who we met in season one who still lets her 8 year old child breastfeed from her. She is the widow of Jon Arryon the guy who they showed dead in kings landing in the very first episode that Ned and Robert both fostered with when they were younger.

Just wanted to make sure we were all ready for that craziness again

Suspected poisoning, but not revealed by who. Kat got a letter from her sister (the widow) accusing the Lannisters.

Another solid episode.

Was good to see all of the discussion about Sansa/LittleFinger /Loras laid out in this episode. Some nice surprises there, especially at the end in Tywins Chamber.

It was a good one. The pieces are being put into place. Kind of why it is hard to answer questions about people and their intentions without major spoilers.

And Ygritte- wow
