Yep Charles Dance is awesome.  Tywin is a great character -- one that is improved on screen IMO because of the strong portrayal. 

it is known

I talked with a friend yesterday whose daughter just got into some exclusive graduate program for writing. she did an undergraduate thesis on something from game of thrones, he is  going to send me a copy. Looking forward to reading it.

thought that was a pretty good catch up episode as a premiere (though I may be biased in liking any episode more that's missing Theon & Bran while favoring King's Landing).  I thought the dude cast as Oberyn knocked out his intro scene.  Dany's story continues to be less compelling than the other major ones, though I know some people like hers the best. 

Also minor fun note -- the Duncan the Tall character that Joffrey referenced in the White Book is who the Dunk and Egg short stories written by GRRM are about.  He's not in the main books but it was a nice little easter egg.  The other dude referenced, Arthur Dayne/"the sword of the morning" is actually a pretty significant character in terms of the backstory in the books (Jaime idolizes him) but they've mostly folded his character into Barristan Selmy in the show.

I think that egg is gone. didn't like the new Daario so much, especially with that British accent.  curious about the symbology of the blue rose being called a "dusk" rose. looks like they cut the entire Brienne/pod line from the books out. nice little touch added with Drogon snapping at Dany to make the point.I think it's the first time we've seen Arya smile in many episodes, getting needle and a new horse.

Oberyn was badass. Really gonna like that character.

Pretty sad that they melted down Ice. Adding insult to Stark injury.

Arthur Dayne is one of the Kingsguard that Ned and his group killed at the Tower Of Joy. Was pretty cool hearing his name mentioned. Unfortunately i haven't been able to find the Dunk and Egg tales anywhere. Wish they would print them somewhere.

Did not know if they'd bring back Janos Slynt after Tyrion sent him to the Wall, I'm glad they did. farg that guy. Hope he gets farged up by some Wildlings or White Walkers.

Liked seeing Jaime and Brienne again, even if it was only for a short scene. "You have the hair...not the looks"

Didn't expect to see the Ser Dontos story line come around, since I'm pretty sure that started in book 2 and they didn't touch on it once in Season 2 or 3 after Sansa saved him. Wonder how that's gonna go..

Did anyone else agree with the choice of prostitute they selected? Including the boy?

[Munson]

That boy was the same dude that banged out Loras in Season 3 to find out for Littlefinger what the Tyrell's were planning on doing with Sansa.

That wasn't a no.

Not really a spoiler but it's a vital part of the story later on.

Missed the part I meant to quote... there's two Graphic novels that tell the tale of Dunk & Egg. Nothing in regular print that I can recall. You can find them on Amazon for cheap (like $15.00 each) in hard cover. If you really like his books and you're not a "comics are for kids" type they're worth the buy. Highly recommend them - at least the first one which was really a good read; The second on is kind of "Meh" but it fills in some additional background. The name would probably help. It's called "The Hedge Knight"... I think it was adapted from a Short Story compilation book several years back but I didn't read it so can't say with certainty it's the same character or not.

The graphic novel adaptions of the main books are good too but they're taking forever to come out.
