Note that Jorah didn't go around ripping throats out because he knew his khaleesi wasn't into that sort of thing.

But a trained knight should carve through those bunch of slave savages like cutting a cake.

It was also early morning games in what I assume to be a lesser Pit. I doubt the people down there had much in the way of any training.

Well, his (presumably) voluntary confession may have earned him some relief, and did he actually confess to his part in Robert's death?

Also that plot seems really fucking stupid in retrospect. I'm gonna fuck my cousin to get him to get my husband really drunk so that maybe he does something reckless while he's out hunting and suffers a mortal wound.
I don't think it was Cersi's doing in the show. Maybe it was in the books. But that scene where he showed up and goes, "I'm so sorry for killing the King. I gots him drunks and stuff" and Cersi is all like, "wut? Wow, you're a crazy dumbass."

I think in the show it was more Lancel taking it on himself to prove his love for his cousin fucking cousin. And then implicating her during his confessions because he is, after all, a cousin fucker, a lanister, and a king killer. It's not like you can expect a lot of self-honesty out of the boy.

I think that was probably more of a 'caught up in the frenzy of the moment' thing rather than a policy to kill all the sluts they encounter.

Not all sluts, just the gay ones. Loras wasn't caught in the act, so there's a process to be followed.

The charges against him are based on the word of someone who has claimed to have had sex with him no? They aren't carrying out divine justice on the basis of rumor, not yet anyway.

I'm not saying they're going to execute him if he's found guilty. He may be offered some unsavory way out of that (though it would dovetail with his apparent fate in the books).

It would not have been an uphill battle to keep things interesting if we got Greyjoys doing viking stuff and Freys getting eaten and slaughtered. Why they decided to focus on Sam, Dany, and Dorne is a headscratcher. I guess like someone said just the popularity of Oberyn.
because sam and dany are cheap shoots, filming on boats in a sea/ocean is hella expensive. i like where they went with sansa since she was doing absolutely nothing in the books cept babysitting robin, who i am interested in seeing if they can turn him from a tittybaby into a normal kid.

Sansa will be fine. I think she twists things around and takes charge.

The impression I always got was that Cersei's tendency for "keeping it in the family" was a warped combination of her hatred of Robert and Tywin's constant harping on the fortunes of House Lannister being all that truly mattered. She bedded Lancel primarily to cuckold Robert by his own cupbearer and because Jaime was captured, not necessarily as a means to an end. Ned forced her hand to action and Lancel was just the most convenient option at that point.
I always figured that the wine was gently poisoned - she said something this season or last in the show that made me think that even more but I cannot remember the exact quote.

Also- I don't see why Jorah just didn't shout out quickly "I have been enslaved and forced to fight...these are not free men that fight here" or something to make Daney kind of like "hey now!"

This would be hilarious if he rolls in like Neville Longbottom weilding the sword of gryffindor or whatever.

Does anyone actually have proof of budgets and blowing their wad on two episodes? Yesterday someone tried to claim that 250k for a scene was a huge amount and someone countered that they spend $6 million an episode so that's barely 5%.

The per season budget is known, and for season 5 it's ~80 million dollars, which actually comes out to more like 8 million dollars an episode. So 250k for a single scene actually seems pretty damn tame considering the overall budget for the season.

*edit*

They basically have enough money to do the Battle of Blackwater every single episode of a season now.
