Was that the Jorah and Tyrion scenes were great! My favorite part of the episode hands down. Tyrion's line to Jorah as he is describing how his father (Jeor) actually cared for the men under his command, and the look on Jorah's face as he learns what happened to his father were perfect.

It was great.
Does Jorah find out that his father died in the books? I can't remember.
they never discussed it. I don't think tyrion even knew about his passing.
i know he didn't hear it from tyrion, but i can't remember if he heard it at all.
I don't believe he did.
I can't remember either but I want to say no, I don't think either one of them have had any interactions yet with anyone who could confirm it.
Don't know who Jorah's actor is but he has been fantastic this season. I'm not a fan of making him a charismatic, relatively attractive dude, but his arc of misery and desperation this season has been a great watch. The actor plays his character so well with Tyrion and their total lack of chemistry is chemistry in and of itself.
I really liked that and Arya scenes too. It's dorne that makes everything look shit IMO
Agreed, that was an exceptional bit of television. The one truly bright spot in last night's episode.
Everything Dorne this season should not have happened
Oh the anguish! My GF spontaneously said she wanted to give him a big ol' bear hug and the tears began. I felt the acting of this episode was the best I've seen in a while (Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatella and Splinter don't count). The Stark girls have grown to be astonishing actresses (hehe). The high sparrow was especially menacing. Cersei is spot-fucking-on. Littlefinger always has been.
The most impact, acting wise, for me however, was Reek. That scene had so much weight to it and the transition of his face at the end had me convinced he was going to castrate Ramsay then and there. Boom, credits. This season is going to end quite well folks.
Some people thought this scene was weak, I don't get it. It was great and some quality acting by Iain Glen. Felt really sorry for J-bear.
Yeah, J-Bear face said to me. We had our issues, but he was a good dad.
agreed
It was good the only issue is that Tyrion couldn't have realistically known how Jeor died. But then again Maester Aemon gets the Mereen Times up at the wall so whatever.
