Best episode I've seen for a while, the ending whilst expected was still well done but the thing that made the episode stand out for me was the scene with Lord Varys and Tyrion and the scene with Tywin and Cersei. Great writing and acting.

Hey wait a minute, is the title of this episode referring to the whole cave scene? :eek:

Well, to her hair, as wildlings consider red hair as lucky, "kissed by fire", so to speak.

Spoiler!

The whole "hot springs" scene was silly :D

"Let's set up camp here in this damned cold place."
"Hey there are hot springs in a cave just next to the camp, where we can all warm ourselves and bathe. God knows we need it."
"No, that redhead chick has reserved it for a private sexy moment with her 'friend' later."
"Oh well."

Anybody else dissapointed by how Dario Naharis looks?
Generally I find the hair- and beardstyles quite lacking, as many are described to have quite outlandishly mad up hair, yet they look bland and boring in the show...

That would explain it, however you can plainly see the blade lying there when they run away.

I have no idea - how should he look? Certainly he does not look like a "badguy" if that's what you mean. Than again, nether did that Ramsay fellow lol :D

Well, if I remember correctly Daario Naharis had a three-pronged beard coloured in blue in the books.
In general I think the clothes and such are always too colourful in the books, so I'm not disappointed with the show being more down to earth in that regard. But when I learned that this guy was supposed to be Daario I was like wait, what?

For once I'd like to see a woman in love with a guy that has a huge beard, like Donna and Opie from Sons of Anarchy :p
That's pretty much the only example I can think of. The media is always glad to give beards to barbarians and uncultured people, and never to any potential love interest, as if it should somehow be impossible to love a bearded dude.

Also, drunken Tyrion ftw. Peter Dinklage is doing a fantastic job as Tyrion.

Khal Drogo had quite the beard, though he was also a barbarian :D

No! He looks like a clown in the book.

Did you really want him to look like this?

Just because Star Trek shows every less advanced civilization as wearing nothing but earth-tones doesn't mean that's what our past looked like.
Colors were expensive and who could afford them showed them off!

The book works with this but I guess the show wanted to look "grittier".
