HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[Oberyn]

Yeah but you'd have to be very perceptive to pick up on that in a single sitting if you had never read the books. Obviously I was looking for it because I had, and I'm guessing you were in the same boat. They made it more of murder-mystery thing on the show.

I watched the episode twice and didn't get it.
I might have over-read it somewhere in this thread but was it the wine or the cake now?

the wine...the old Tyrell lady is sitting next to the goblet, and she is the one who took the poison from Sansa's necklace.

Soooo.........what about Mord, is he alive and coming back at any point ? And Clive Russel (the archer) ? And does Hodor become important at any point ? And that bearded fire priest-warrior from last season, who has some kind of a forest wild bunch ? And the guy who got split up by Sandor the Dog and then just rose back from the dead ?  :

[Boerenlater]

Dumb question, but what happened to the blacksmith bastard son of Robert?
He was sent away on a boat and after that?

Mord will come back. Probably next ep? At least in the books he was back.
In the books Hodor will go where Bran goes, so nothing great happens. Yet.
Thoros comes back, but not Beric Dondarrion. You will see a Stark member again tho. hihi

But who knows if they gonna do it similar in the series.

In the books Edric Storm was sent away per boat. In the book Gendry who is the blacksmith son of Robert stays at the Inn at the Crossroads and works there. Later on he's gonna meet someone we know.

[Xant]

You did read the books did you? So you know yourself. Not like I'm into doing a typical Xant discussion. Imo he's an important side character.

If I knew myself I wouldn't have asked you, would I? Edumacate me, tell me how he's as important as Daario, who

is Daenerys' romantic interest and a lot of pages are filled with Daenerys fantasizing about him, brings over the Second Sons to Daenerys's side which influences a major battle a lot (after killing their two other leaders), and is the leader of a said big mercenary company the whole time, becomes an ambassador to Lhazar on behalf of Daenerys,  and then ends up as a hostage, which is significant because he's Daenerys' lover.. in other words, he's a big part of Daenerys chapters.

To the left, we have Strong Belwas, who is a fat dude who likes to fight. His only real deed in the books is fighting the duel and Daario was just as suitable for it. There is literally nothing he does that cannot be done by someone else. Same cannot be said for Daario.

So remind me, how are these two as important?

Something like: The bearded fire priest will revive Catelyn Stark and she will become some ice-cold killer called Lady Stoneheart.

No, its true and thats why Beric Dondarrion dies who already got revived 3 times by Thoros. ;)

@ vipere, don't like book spoilers? Don't open them.

[Freland]

I agree but it's always helpful if you are a litlle more specific about your spoiler. You do that like this (obviously I erased the [])
spoiler=Book 5 spoiler

[Gnjus]

What about Blackfish ? And that Night Watch Ranger from season one, brother of Ned Stark who went beyond the wall and was never heard from again ? I mean - Blackfish disappeared only recently but that ranger guy.......what was the point of him ? 3 seasons and still out of the picture.......

He escaped and managed to get back to Riverrun which he tries to defend against a siege by the Lannisters.

Ha tricked you, I don't know anything because he did not reappear in the books yet. But he most certainly will return because he might know a thing or two about his sister Lyanna.
