Or you think that is all Valyrian gibberish and are in a hurry to be charged the Iron Price.
The biggest introduction of new girl power tonight is the charmingly dignified Olenna Redwyne.
The Lady of the Tyrell family is as politely disarming with a wry smile as she is painfully direct.
Like seriously, one can instantly tell her points are as sharp an Unsullieds Blade.
The Tyrells have summoned the little dove, Sansa, to their newly marked turf in the Red Keep.
Of course, they take a stab at woo her friendship with niceties and outdoor dining.
Ah, thats a pity, Olenna says with all the disinterested menace of Maggie Smiths Dowager Duchess.
Margaery shrugs as she takes a bite from lemon cake.
Joffrey, youd better run.
For the freaking hills.
Behind him sits a bemused and seething Cersei.
She helpfully puts ideas in Joffreys head about Margaeary being a fine wife.
Like she totally will, even if she seems somewhat intelligent for a woman.
And there was that time she was married to Renly, the dead fifth king in this war.
Also Joff, did you notice that she kind of dresses like a harlot?
Dayum, Cersei retract those claws!
In Margaerys presence, Joffrey has all the confidence that any teenage boy would around Natalie Dormer.
Joffrey, being satisfied, states he may make homosexuality a capital offense one day.
However, it was not all palace intrigue this week.
Nay, there was equal intrigue on the road!
Indeed, the episode opens on a shockingly pubescent Bran Stark.
Dang, Bran what are you like six feet tall now?!
Hodor is going to break his back trucking this kid all around Gods green Westeros.
It is almost as low as his voice.
By Season 4, Bran may be singing Old Man River on these little treks.
Anywho, Bran and Rickon are wandering around Westeros with Osha and Hodor still after the sacking of Winterfell.
Enter Jojen and Meera Reed.
Meera, much to Oshas chagrin, is the heavy among the siblings.
Osha believes Jojen should be emasculated, but he has no reason to be.
Because its THE KID FROMLOVE, ACTUALLY!
I guess if all he wanted for Christmas was to be on HBOs hottest show, then wish granted.
They also have since heard of Bran and Rickons likely deaths and are in sour moods.
It cannot help that Robbs men blame their bad fortune on his recent marriage to Talisa.
At least Talisa tries to have a mend fences by breaking words with the still shackled Cat.
The anti-Cat fanboys are likely sharpening their knives even as I punch in.
One character who has no haters, at least none any would take seriously, is Arya.
And the awesome tomboy with a burgeoning bloodlust is back this week!
Obviously though, she let him win.
We all know Arya can water dance them all to death faster than you might say Syrio Forel.
She does not need to win your stupid sword contest!
Thats my version and Im sticking to it.
He spots Arya out within seconds.
But lest we end on a complete downer, the episode closes on the ever terrific Jaime and Brienne.
The lady knight of an NBA players height is still escorting everyones favorite witty sister-lover back to Kings Landing.
We can call it, The Sword and the Snark.
Speaking of swords, Jaime eventually gets free and pulls one of Briennes blades from her belt.
Thus the two have a coincidentally cinematic duel across a medieval looking stone bridge.
They have come to reclaim Jaimes freedom and perhaps his head.
Well, that was fun.
After a somewhat exposition-heavy premiere episode, Season 2 found its groove back immediately.
There were also a lot of new additions to the cast.
I cannot wait for her to have a scene with Joffrey.
AndGoogle+, if thats your thing!
