Talisa scene was necessary to introduce the Lannister boys before Karstark kills them. Theon is as per what would be happening in the books at this point if GRRM had done it real time.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Good episode. Mostly exposition through the whole thing, which was very well done. Didn't feel like it dragged.
I felt a bit more sympathetic towards Edmure in the books, whereas his intro in this episode made me resent him a bit more. The show seems to be portraying him to be a bit more...douchey, I guess. It works. The Blackfish was nicely done. The bow scene is exactly how I pictured it in the books.
Jaime losing his hand is the part where the book really starts to take off. All PoVs from here on out have some pretty integral action going on (BWoB, Dany/Unsullied, Weddings, Climbing the wall, Jaimes transformation and the bear, and more)
Ireallylike how they're handling the Theon storyline. If they keep showing a gradual progression towards him becoming Reek, it'll make for great viewing.
Also, I dont understand why people think Bran's PoV in the books is boring. Thats where like, 50% of the history of the first men/children comes from, and the conversations between Jojen/Meera/Bran is interesting stuff. Plus Hodor.

Agreed. Bran's POV is great reading.
Agreed also about Jaime's hand sadness; it definitely is the harbinger for some of the best action in the series. Next week looks like the Dondarrion vs Hound. Can't wait.
I don't really give two shits about Edmure, as I feel he's just a pawn GRRM uses to move the Tully story into the RW. Blackfish, on the other hand, was tits. I love how he tossed the bow back to Edmure without even waiting for the shot to hit.
Yeah, that was fucking tits. We need a gif of that for sure. That scene was a great example of transitioning book material to the screen, perfectly.

I'm probably having a brain fart, but why did Arya ask Sandor if he remembered the place where they were?
I think that is the inn near the area they stopped at in season 1, where The Hound ran down the butcher's boy, Arya's friend

If i am right, the guy singing the song at the beginning of the episode is the lead singer of snow patrol. I can remember reading about him and another band member doing a cameo in GoT

jaime lannister got his fucking hand cut off
my prediction : Jaime re-earns his title of "King Slayer" and kills Joffrey, then Cersei, then himself.
Tyrion has to, in my opinion, have the most unpredictable of fates... what a wild card, what a great character.

My prediction is Brienne and Jamie are going to get it on, a selfless act is always rewarded with nookie in tv land. But I may be horribly wrong, this is GoT after all and Martin seems to enjoy throwing curveballs.
Better pic of the contortion girl. I noticed.

I think it's going to end up like Peter Griffin's version of Anna and the King, with a Cyborg taking control of everything
I have been reading the books after the TV season airs with only minor spoilers because of book/show crossover. The hand caught us off guard. So much for keeping JL in good hostage condition. I wonder what this means for Sansa? Also, there is no way Daenerys gives up one of her babies. Incoming dragon fire!? Overall the season is great so far. It feels like they are building up to some crazy stuff.
