1. Joffrey makes a girl spank 2. Daenerys enters Qarth 3. The Red Women gives birth...?

This episode was dark and grotesque at times. I've never seen that torture method with the rat.

Joffrey is pure evil. He's not just a mean teenager but a true psychopath who enjoys seeing others in pain and has the means to make that real.

Admist the chaos, Tyrion is fantastic. Peter Dinklage not only shows masterful performance but the character of Tyrion himself is very likeable but complex character.

I don't have too much taste for the Stannis subplot. I really didn't like the ending moment which seems like some "magic" is involved. I wanted the show to remain realistic but that ending took that away from me. I guess the scene with Drogo and the witch was somewhat similar but it was not as visceral as this scene. I really hope they untangle that well enough for my preference.
