Season Three continues to thrill, excite and excel.

You really got to giveGame of Thronesa hand this week for turning the screws.

And I just want to say well done [insert hand pun here].

One could just imagine the classic Dinklage eye roll if Tyrion had been present at this scene.

As stated above, this show marks real movement for all the stories (featured) this week.

Bon voyage, Hoster!

Edmure, Cats younger brother, has the heavy duty.

HBOs Edmure Tully is not so different.

Five minutes in Riverrun and already everyone is miserably whipping themselves.

It surely is Team Stark.

This helper, whose name and station keeps getting glossed over, has saved Theons life twice now.

It is also reeking in Astapor where Daenerys is still trying to buy an army of Eunuchs.

He refuses, believing his punishment is deserved.

The look on her face is not so much horror as anger.

An army of 8,000 men with nary a spear between the lot of them in sight.

And how will she pay for this elite fighting force?

By SELLING A DRAGON.

Until then, rest assured that there is more to this bargain.

In all these tales of woe, it is nice to see one of friendship.

Aye, this week marked the last time we may see Hot Pie.

The plump hanger-on of Team Arya decided to stay at an inn loyal to the Brotherhood without Banners.

The three of them form a triumvirate of orphan badassery not dissimilar to Dickensian protagonists.

It is a sign that these happier days of Aryas childhood may be coming to an end.

Just like Hot Pie.

I hope they stay friends on Facebook.

Meanwhile, Tyrion made a friend for life out of his squire, Podrick Payne.

But now, he must love his boss like a fraternity brother.

And it is only the best for Tyrions squire, as this is the A-Team of whoring.

There is one who specializes in virgins like Podrick.

There is another who is double jointed and can do some twisted circus tricks just in her intro.

And then other one can…take off her clothes, fast?

Which brings us back to the juiciest one of the week: Jaime Lannister.

Do we pity him?

I doubt the shows producers do, given the song choice that plays the episode out.

I say career, because while his sword hand is gone, his cunning is not.

A lifestyle change is in order for the Kingslayer and one that may actually be for the better.

Perhaps he will consider going into stand-up comedy with Tyrion?

In any event, before he can adjust, he has a whopping debt to pay.

And the ledger for the Bolton boys is leaking red.

If I were a betting man, Id wage theyll soon be drowning in it.

That was a fun episode.

I wonder…will Jaime think twice before he gives Brienne another hand?
