A new jet will have to be bought eventually anyway whether it is a F-35 or another. Heck we spend 4 billion a year on dictators to keep oppressing their own people. If you want to cut spending start there.

No, of course not: there is absolutely no necessity to buy a new aircraft. We are a teeny tiny country which longs for some international respect and therefore we spend needed Euros for much unneeded military toys. We have to stop that. And of course we have to stop spending money on dictators too, but that was quite a rhetoric remark.

Teen tiny country? Or the 15th largest economy of the world? It always surprises me how many people are members of the broken rifle club in the Netherlands.

So what did you guys think? Thought it was hit and miss this episode. I'm not going to compare it to the books just comment on the scenes as is. Joffrey abusing whores didn't do anything for me, same for the introduction to the thirteen and Quarth. Harrenhal was great, Charles Dance stealing the show there and more Tyrion + Bronn bromance was great as well.

We might finally see Vargo Hoat. And he bloody well should not be riding a boring horse!

Don't believe the bloody mummers have been cast.

Whaaaat?

Vargo Hoat - kind of important.
Qyburn - kind of important.
Zollo - kind of important.

Well they're introducing a bunch of characters in season 3 that originally appeared in Book 2 first. It's a good thing because season 3 covers roughly half of the third book and cramming more characters in season 2 would make the show even harder to follow for non book readers.

Dat machinegewehr!

I want to see the new episode! Any Dutchies here where HBO Go isn't working either? I'm almost at the point where I'm going to call the cable company as HBO is not responding to my mail (probably have a bank holiday).

Edit:
great episode, fewer characters this time so we get some expanded storyline. Ironborn scenes were really good, I find the chapters concerning the ironborn to be the least interesting in the books. The TV show definitely improves upon them like they did with King Robert and the small council members in season 1.

I'm really glad they are showing Robb's campaign in the River and Westerlands. He's not a POV character in the books so you miss out on nearly all his adventures.

Ajax back in the title race!

Hey I spotted myself there with the M1919. I love this gun!
