He's referring to the maester/apprentice that was killed and then impersonated in the prologue of AFfC. Pate i think? i think most assume it to be Jaqen Ha'gar.
Wow. I definitely missed that on my read through....

Common question.
Or better yet, how did his bad ass get locked up?
Maybe he had to kill someone in the black cells...who knows who's sitting under there, except Varys.
thanks for that map Quad Dog!

Varys somehow used Jaqen to get someone to replace Ned Stark at the beheading = Ned not dead
(I know, I know. just let me dream)
Could you imagine if there was a Targaryen or other prominent family member suspected dead rotting away down there?
Ok so ya , I'm a moron and had forgotten that she breaks them out of the cell.
Still want to know what the heck he is doing there and who hired him. And who he was going to kill in the beginning .

There must have been a target in the dungeons of Kings Landing. If he is ever "caught" he could simply change into an old lady from the Summer Isles and starting talking about the Loch Ness monster.

Tree fiddy.
Are they skipping an episode for Easter this week?
Not according to my dvr
Bump for the new episode tonight!
Lots of non book scenes tonight.
Was the Jamie-Cersie sex in the books? If it was, I don't remember it being so rapey
Jamie didn't return to King's Landing until after the Purple Wedding. One of he first things he did was to see Cersei in the Sept where Jeoffery was being held. They had sex in the Sept, but Cersei was remorseful (or at least afraid of being caught) afterwards (Jamie, HB pgs 700-701).
Wasn't she also on her period?
Isn't she always?
Zing!
I was nostalgic for Strong Belwas when the fight of the champions commenced. Still dislike the new Daario, or as my wife calls him - Eric Bana with a beard - but at least he got some street cred for his handling of the champion.
Really enjoyed the conversation between Tywin and Tommen, and then Tywin and Oberyn. I can appreciate them making Tommen older and less of a dope than he is in the book. Love Tywin asking him if he knows how family lines are carried on and starting to tell him "It's pretty straight forward ..." as Jamie strolls in.
The closer-to-coming of age Tommen will make his dynamic with Margarey more interesting. Having a hot older girl who is going to be your wife whispering opinions in your ear that are contradictory to what your B* of a mother is shouting at you could definitely be distracting.
Thought Tyrion's love-fest with Podrick was a bit much at the end.

I guess they have to make non-book fans love him before they hate him. That was a friggin awesome way to have him kill that champion. That whole last 6 mins was the best part of the episode. They are really doing an excellent job with Daenerys right now.
Why? I've always hated Daario.
Please don't tell me you nerds hope that Jorah ends up with Dany...
My only complaints regarding Daario:
-He doesn't have a blue beard
-They skipped Belwas as a character(not his fault but the champion fight scene was awesome the book)
That being said he's much better than the Daario in the 3rd season, this guy actually looks like he commands an army of sell swords...

Hell no we don't want Dany with Jorah. F Jorah. Daario is a bad ass, but F him too. Dany is going to end up with no one. Jon Snow (if he's alive) will look like a squire to Dany when she compares him to Drogo, Jorah or Daario. Only chance he has is if her dragons follow his commands. Assuming she ever gets to Westeros.
Ha. I've thought the Magnar looks like Eric Bana from Star Trek
New Daario is Eric Bana as Hector in Troy.
So what do yall think about the necklace and little finger crushing one stone and keeping it with Dontos?

Def a catch your breath episode.
Highlight was the Dany/Daario scene at the end though as a book reader I agree it made me just miss Belwas all that much more. Making Daario into a cooler guy as opposed to a complete ****** is understandable from a TV perspective though and it was just a cool scene.
I didn't care for how they made the Jaime/Cersei thing feel like rape. That really shifts some perceptions of Jaime imo. Should have shown Cersei more willing like she is in the book.
The Arya/Hound stuff seemed heavy handed. I guess they have to come up with some new way for the Hound to get injured which still hasn't happened. Love how Arya has become such an easy liar though.
Magnar of Thenn is trying to compete with Ramsay Snow for most evil dude in the show and is making up ground fast. The thing I thought was most interesting though was showing Ygritte back in killer mode, will make it easier on viewers when she dies.
Liked how they handled the Sansa/LF stuff but I am less and less impressed with the LF actor in the show compared to many of the others. In the books he seems less straight up evil/sociopath.

I really hated how Jorah ends up secretly being in love with Dany in the books. It seemed to come out of nowhere and it felt forced. So far there hasn't been any hint of that in the series, and I hope they keep it out.
There are hints of Jorah's feelings for Dany all over the show. It starts in Season 1 when Viserys comes out and says it openly to him. It was really poignant last season when Jorah had the "friend zone" moment after Yunkai.
I don't have an issue with it, it makes you understand Jorah far better and what his motivations are which have moved from wanting to go back home to simply being in love with Dany.
