Well in the end it's symbolism that gets into place as well. Their wolves are a symbol of them, their souls. Sansa's was killed. And Arya's got lost and you know well what happened to her, which symbolizes Arya's strength. And maturing? She's only 14 in the books and 16 maybe in the show? I would cut her some slack lol. And even while growing up in Winterfell they grew up very differently. One dreaming of being a princess, the other of being a fighter. Arya was always a fighter because she was so tomboyish, Sansa wasn't. She was surrounded with friends who would think along her level. Maybe it's because Arya is more of a Stark, while Sansa isn't. She's more of a Tully. Now she's starting to change, but only now. And I would be pretty darn scared too, when you're surrounded with the enemy all the time.

I don't like the Tully's, so Sansa being more like a Tully definitely helps me understand why I can't stand her

The episode yesterday again, was bloody brilliant. Tyrion's outburst at the end of the trial was the best acting I've seen so far from Peter Dinklage. And the dynamic between all siblings worked really well. Plus I really liked how Oberyn didn't really take it serious, and how curious he looked when Tyrion demanded a Trial by Combat. Also Oberyn's attitude during the small council was great.

I loved Oberyn's attitude during the trial. He hates the Lannisters and has no reason to care about Tyrion's trial. Also, I think he realized that the trial was a farce, so instead of being all serious-face, he just took it at face value.

I agree with what Cascador and Liv the Librarian wrote, so all I could possibly add is: NICE.... when Tyrion demanded a trial by combat. Because I know what's going to happen, and I know that even if there'll be changes it'll be AWESOME.

ALso, I'm not excited about the end of the season for a return of a certain character that I won't mention because it's a book spoiler and belongs in the book sections *sigh*

I'm really curious as to how they'll pull that off, to be honest. But first things first! I am so incredibly excited.

BOOK 4 SPOILER See, what I'm wondering is that Oberyn revealing to be Tyrion's champion would have ruined the climax of the episode. In the books Oberyn and Tyrion discuss this between the days trial takes place. But because they kept it pretty fast-paced, it only took place in one. But I think it might have been interesting to have Oberyn volunteer to be Tyrion's champion, without Tyrion actually knowing anything behind it. Who knows, this might still happen in the opening of the next episode.

I'm up to date now, took a while since I've been so busy. I didn't think another couple would rival how much I love Arya and The Hound as a travelling pair, but I'm loving Brienne and what's his name. So funny.

His name is Podrick (short Pod), Tyrion's former squire and surely a ladies' man lol. I dunno I'm not that interested in their journey together. At least not for the moment. I think it will get more interesting later. As for Arya and the Hound I like the storyline, but it is a bit to keep their story going. Most of it is not in the books or changed. Again I'm more curious what will happen later, because I'm sure it's no spoiler that they will depart from each other. I can't say when though, however I have a good idea...

It's all because of memorial day in America. They noticed that the rating for Blackwater was really low. So they decided not to broadcast again on Memorial day. Next episode will be worth the wait though. Can't wait to see the Red Viper fight the Mountain that Rides.

Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen, but yeah that would be cool.
