You don't have to convince me, I said I was on team Tyratheon already

Sorry to step on a running joke, but I think I remember Thoros only appearing bald during the tourney, but was described as having long scraggly hair when running around with the Brothers Without Banners. Can anyone confirm that?

There's actually a Word of God statement that Renly and Loras were intended to be read as a gay couple: <a href="http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/To_Be_Continued_Chicago_IL_May_6_8/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/To_Be_Continued_Chicago_IL_May_6_8/</a>

Good Lord your right. Will fix asap

I don't remember perfectly, but as I recall it Tyrion's explanation of how the supposed betting of the knife went had more to do with him being so completely confident and trusting of Jaime, both as a brother and especially as a swordsman. Naturally, important for their relationship in the fututre books.

One Benedict Broom, apparently.

Well, there's also the behaviour and statements of Loras in Feast for Crows that point to Renly being gay. Probably the most overt the hinting at it gets.

Valter Östberg

Oh, come on, Lannister guards! What are you doing? Javelins at close range? Who is the master-at-arms in Casterly rock, Cersei Lannister?

Valter Östberg

I actually think it's too much of a comparison to the show, too little of a book synopsis. There are several good book - show comparing videos. Hardly any that stick entirely to the books. I think that's a shame.

Yay I managed to guess that an episode would come out today! I'd also like to mention a good website Race For The Iron Throne, a chapter by chapter analyse of the books, which also has a book versus show comparison. It also has political analyse and historical comparison.
