Someone told me that this episode was worth waiting for.  So I just finished it, and I am like, what part of this episode was supposed to make me happy?  ::giggle::

 

Final payment for Daenerys, a Golden Crown, nice play on words there people.  The whole heart thing was making me gag.  Ugh.

 

Tyrion confessing his crimes?  Ok, that was fun watching that part, the combat?  Not so much?  Is the dude that fought for Tyrion supposed to have some significance?

 

Joffrey apologizes to Sansa?  Like that is supposed to be for real?  (I don't trust Joffrey, not for one minute)

 

I have to admit, the whole "black hair" scene was done very well.  I sort of suspected that a while back, but it was too gross to contemplate.

Is it me, or does Rhaego sounds like the "premium" brand version of Ragu Tomato Sauce?

Watching this episode again and seeing Tyrion confess his "crimes" to Lysa reminded me again why he became my favorite character in season 1, LOL.
