What I also missed is whether it was Reek or the Bastard who promised Theon reinforcements in return for a girl. The one who returned in Reek's clothing was def. the bastard (who then proceeded to claim Theon's bed warmer and knock him out and drag him off to turn him into Reek).

Think it was Ramsay. Reek wasn't exactly smart, IIRC.

I read a bit more. The Reek at Winterfell who offers Theon 200 men is in fact Ramsay. His Reek has been killed earlier.

reek just knew his place. that doesn't include being smart - look at Theon.

The original Reek wasn't tortured, he was a real friend of the bastard's, they shared a love of cruelty. He just smelled bad due to some medical condition.

After watching the last episode I think it is pretty obvious what the dwarf's plan is and who'll he'll call to be found not guilty. Not sure if it'll be that obvious.

Don't be so sure about anything, good sir

One of the things I enjoyed about the show it is unpredictable. I haven't read the books but the last episode strongly hinted that Tyrion would call Jamie to fight for him in the trial by combat, Tywin wouldn't let his son who is his heir die and that would cause Tyrion to be declared innocent when Jamie wins even with one hand. I hope I'm wrong and the show throws up a surprise.

Allow me to show you that you're wrong. Jamie cannot fight with his left hand and definitely not against Cersei's champion. It would be too obvious that it was rigged if Jamie wins.

Edit: I didn't watch the ep. but tyrion has already been championed before so why makes you think he doesn't pick that same champion?

Pay attention to the first few episodes. Who had a score to settle, and with whom?

Because you need to find out who the court's champion is

Well even when he was bailed out from Catelyn's sister's craziness - the courts champion at that time seemed better than the sellsword. Ok, that one was arrogant.

By the way I do know who ends up being champion (the dwarf's champ that is).

Goosebumps.... Goosebumps I tell you.

That speech from Tyrion was amazing.

How does he even manage to walk with balls as big as those shown there?
