I remember a lot of reactors giving The Spice King flak for how he spoke to Dany, but as J pointed out, Dany's a bad investment right now. He was not being malicious or petty; just practical.
Amory's death will never not be funny to me. He just flops to the ground like a fish and Tywin is all "wtf?"
I love Shae and Sansa together. Shae is like a big sister almost out the gate to her.
Osha is such a badass. She ADORES Bran and Rickon and was willing to give up her dignity to get them out of Winterfell. Between her and Ygritte, I think Wilding women are more attractive than the Westerosi ones, minus Margery; love me some Margery.
That woman that was killed in Dany's room had also been with her since early Season 1. She was also the lover of that Blood Rider who's head was sent back to Dany after he was murdered by one of the aspiring Khals.
The last cry of the dragons is so heart breaking, because it sounded like they were screaming "Mom!"

Lady Talisa does not exist in the books, btw.
She was created to replace a Westerosi noblewoman who belongs to a house that serves the Lannisters. But since Robb is not a Point of View character in the books, his personal stories are comparatively unremarkable. So they spiced them up a little in the show with a small romantic subplot that's pretty OK.

Some good scenes i this episode. The conversation between Daenerys and the merchant went as expected. Daenerys really doesn't have any solid backing (no army, no powerful backers, hopes that people who have never seen her before will rise up in her name, dragons too small to be a threat). It really doesn't make sense to bet on her chances, at least at the moment.
Tywin's conversation with Arya also reveals some things. Tywin is obsessed with maintaining his house and family name, to the extent that he will use his individual family members as chess pieces so that the family as a whole endures and prospers. He did it as a result of seeing his father as weak (the book does go into detail as to how his father almost ruined the family). But as a result his children have grown up lacking fatherly affection, which definitely has had consequences.
Honestly, it isn't surprising someone would steal the dragons, they are the only 3 of their kind and potential weapons of mass destruction in the future. Even if no one can control them they can always be sold off to some rich/powerful person as a symbol as power/prestige if nothing else. Jorah did warn at the beginning of the season that if she visited most places she would most likely be killed and her dragons taken.
