Ygritte, the current toughest lady in all the Seven Kingdoms. She's still on the south side of the wall, probably preparing for the attack on the Wall. All I know is that I don't want to be a certain curly-haired bastard....
Asha/Yara Greyjoy, the second toughest lady in Westeros, leads her men in what Westeros calls an attempt to rescue Theon, which she doesn't do in the the books. The only place I can imagine she's going to is Torrhen's Square, the only Northern town she could reach by river that is close enough to
Winterfell.
Jamie Lannister, the second toughest left-hander in Westeros. Here he's being fitted for his new hand and is sporting an austere haircut after his shaggy period in the riverlands. Of all the story lines I've been looking forward to, Jamie's is one of the most interesting. People tend to do him down but, Jamie, as we saw in season 3, has a lot more complexity than than his family would like to admit.
Cersei, the eighth toughest lady in Westeros, either deep in thought or grief.... I happen to like TV Cersei a lot. I think Lena Headey has done a great job giving Cersei a sympathetic face. I read some of Cersei's chapters the other day and I can't get over how much she screws herself over. They toned down the crazy in the show but this is the season where I think we'll see the cracks showing.
For a moment this confused me, because this made no sense. The rest of the Night's Watch are still at Craster's, after killing him and the Old Bear. They must've figured out Craster's secret because they continue giving the white walkers their sacrifice.
Arya, the sixth toughest lady in the Seven Kingdoms looks prime and ready for a fight. She's still with the Hound, heading for the Eyrie.
I didn't recognize Bran for a moment because Issac-Hempstead Wright is shooting up. They're beyond the wall for now, and are probably at the hill of the last greenseer.
A man carries the flayed man of Bolton into a castle, which I'm guessing to be when Theon convinces Victarion's Ironmen to surrender. It looks like it won't be as disgusting as it's described in the book.
Hello Oberyn! I'm slightly amused by his accent because I grew up in a place with a huge Spanish- speaking population, so to hear that accent in what is a mainly British-English show throws me off. In the interest of equality, Peter Dinklage's, Aiden Gillen's, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's accents are sometimes ridiculous. Otherwise, Pedro Pascal nails Oberyn's cockiness, which is going to make it hurt all the more in the end...
Putting this out there with the candle/hand business, are we foreshadowing Quentyn here? The fact that he's touching the flame and he doesn't seem to be hurt. Could be simple badassery. I like his Dornish costume, he truly could come from my home state. We freak out when it's cold but still wear completely inappropriate clothes. Low cut shirt and leather coats are the hoodies and flip-flops of Westeros. I hope his entrance is as good as it is in the book. Tyrion slightly shits himself when he sees Oberyn because instead of thoughtful and deliberate Doran, they get the ticking time/sex bomb that is Oberyn.
We're going to stop here, but there will be more! just need to do a bit more recovering...
