Why does Lord Tywin have to grow on me?

    I'm really starting to love Tywin, He has such a calm demeanor even when someone pisses him off he just says "Get the fuck out of here dude".

    Also love how he respects Arya and notices how sharp she is even if she's only his cup girl.

    It seems like they're trying (or maybe it just turned out that way) to have Tywin act as a father figure for Arya. In the books he's depicted as a cold-hearted man, but in the show, when he's with Arya, he softens up. Definitely an interesting deviation from the books.

    Adds some more moral ambiguity. Gives motivation for Arya to not immediately use her kill button on him. And contributes to the family theme of the show.

    The Arya/Tywin scenes are definitely some of my favorites.

    The producers did a brilliant job of casting Tywin. He's like a gold mine of bone-chilling looks.

          That scene with Arya, Tywin, and Baelish was tense.

          I couldn't even hear what Tywin and Baelish were talking about. I was just too scared she was going to get figured out and accused on the spot.

          Baelish is too smart to just out her right then and there

          he's got plans upon plans upon plans

              And how he killed Amory Loch in the nick of time. Not to mention how absolutely relaxed Tywin seemed, just a simple yell for guards. No big deal guys, he just got killed at my doorstep, it's cool.

              The split second when the door opened and he was standing there, I gasped. Until he keeled over from a poison dart? Good thing he can't read btw.

              Speaking of his illiteracy, I was expecting Arya to claim the note contained an itemized order for pieces of armor and weapons. I'm surprised she didn't try that.

                  I thought that was a pretty great reason for Arya to name someone besides Tywin for her second victim.

                  its also helped by how genuinely kind tywin has been towards her in the show.

                      Any sympathy I had built up for Theon's character over the course of the series dissipated within the first 10 minutes of this episode. Fuck that guy.

                            Paraphrasing a bit but the line right before it was so much better.

                            "I'm off to see your father."

                              I wonder if people that only watch the show realize how much ground he's already covered. Maybe the show has reduced the size of the lands... or there's much more time passage between shows.

                                          Rodrik must have taught him to fight. He musn't have been a very good teacher, what a messy execution.

                                          Rodrik was master-at-arms at Winterfell so yes, he taught Theon how to fight.

                                                I loved how they kept the fact that Theon botched the execution too

                                                  Wow. Just wow. The riot scene was extremely well done. I was absolutely horrified.

                                                  I feel sort of guilty for enjoying the fact that they kept the detail of the High Septon being ripped apart

                                                  The crowd looked like zombies devouring him. I thought, man this looks like The Walking Dead.

                                                  That was an "OH SHIT, SON" moment for me, when they hoisted the arm.

                                                    I knew nothing was going to happen to Sansa, but fuck me if I wasn't terrified for her in that scene.

                                                    The longer that scene went on, the more I went "Anytime Sandor...no rush or anything man." But damn if he didn't end those three in the most fitting way given what they were trying to do.

                                                    That's what I was afraid of for a moment also. But I still thought, "Wow. If this happens, I am going to be legitimately angry. This show is awesome."

                                                              Make sure you write his dad and sister to boast about the Prince Dick's victory. They'll surely be impressed/happy that he captured an empty castle when they specifically told him to attack a fishing port.
