It is far from impossible that you just described one of the plot of Winds.

As long as she isn't raped or murdered, Sansa could do a lot worse than be with Littlefinger. He's playing the game probably better than anyone and she would do well to listen to his game theory. I've been noticing how he keeps telling her his strategies and plans, half out of pride and possibly half out of tutelage. He might kick Lady Arryn out the moondoor and take Sansa as his new wife, which would give him the North along with the Eyrie.

This was a better episode than the recent ones. Mycroft Holmes speaking for the Iron Bank made me chuckle a bit.

Sweet Jesus Dinklage rocked the shit out of that episode.
However next to Emilia "I'm trying to look stern but not pulling it off very well" Clarke anyone would look Emmy-worthy. :D

I thought she pulled off "i'm trying to look stern when i am obviously in the wrong" pretty well actually.

Sweet Jesus Dinklage rocked the shit out of that episode. I said that to my girlfriend as the credits rolled, but she was thinking he overacted. I didn't think so at all - he was delivering the lines of his life, about his life and Tyrion's.

Tyrion will have to be special effects and makeup. There's no fucking way you just stumble onto an actor with Tyrion's proportions that can pull off that character.
It's quite fun to go back and read the first page of this thread. :D

I didn't think so at all - he was delivering the lines of his life, about his life and Tyrion's. There were some expressions that maybe some people would have considered overacting, slightly exaggerated, but I think they were on purpose to show that the character is starting to go mad. Perhaps she missed that aspect, which I am guessing we will see more of coming up in future episodes.

It's a scene where Tyrion is playing to the crowd, so overacting is called for. We've seen it in other scenes, whenever Tyrion is using the word 'imp' he's generally mocking the listener while seeming to mock himself.

Enjoyed that a lot, not just for Dinklage, but all the other actors in the room, and all the nods and winks to future events.

Wow, just watched it. He pulled of the scene perfectly. Tyrion is just fucking mentally snapping at this point, and the actor did a wonderful job of portraying that. I'm not sure if any of you here has ever been at a point in their life where emotions have taken full control and you're just letting it out against all family/social structures after some straw finally broke the camels back. But when that happens, you pretty much start 'eating up the scenery' and over acting irl. I mean seriously, something like this: That is real, not movie fake. So yes, he did a perfect job. Loved the whole scene. Also:

I thought the Iron bank scene was cool. Davos stepped up his game for his King there. In dreadfort, I was hoping Reek would get shanked in the melee, but I knew better. Queen Dany stuff was Zzzzzz. My queen, Dragons ate my goats! Zzzzzzz
This whole Trial by Combat, could the book readers explain it to me a little better? So I could basically murder some guy in broad daylight, and in my trial call for a Trial by Combat! If me, or my champion wins I am free to go? Just seems....idk, kinda ridiculous.

It's not a book thing, its a real thing. Trial by combat was basically a way for nobles never to lose a trial against common people.

It's also a medieval tradition, not just something thought-up for fantasy novels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_by_combatBasically, if you weren't caught in the act, or they couldn't find enough evidence to convince everyone you were guilty, you could prove it by fighting it out. So in your example, no, there'd likely be witnesses that saw you do it. Tyrion gets TBC because he managed to argue to that point. Everyone thinks he's guilty but can't prove it or that he actually did it; so, Combat!

I've always felt GoT feels a little too modern for trial by combat. I'd date the show a bit later than the war of the roses in the early renaissance - say about 1550-1600.
I have no idea when trial by combat died out, but would guess earlier than that.
Also it is a transparent plot crutch.
