** Tyrion has another moment earlier in the episode. He walks into his private chambers, only to find Varys there, chatting up Shae. Varys comments on how lovely Shae is, and what a [[ShameIfSomethingHappened shame it would be if Tywin found out about her]] -- at which point Tyrion coolly reminds Varys that unlike Ned Stark, Tyrion understands how the backstabbing politics in King's Landing work, and if Varys threatens him again, Tyrion will make him pay.

First person zap. That is, the use of \'I\', \'me\', \'my\', \'This Troper\', and \'this editor\' is not desired in the main wiki.

*** I have to repeat that last bit with more emphasis: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubiHZLL5c2k "WITH A WOODEN FRICKIN' SWORD"]].



*** He also manages to completely shatter the 30,000 strong army that Jaime had with him. Precisely half of the Lannister army's standing manpower.

** Not to mention not long after that, when he sends his terms to the Lannisters via Alton. [[spoiler: "Third, Joffrey and the Queen Regent must renounce all claim to dominion of the North. From this time, to the end of time, we are a free and independent kingdom. Neither Joffrey nor any of his men shall set foot in our lands again. If he disregards this command, then he shall suffer the same fate as my father. Only, I don't need a servant to do my beheading for me."]]

* Tyrion gives Janos Slynt a brief TheReasonYouSuckSpeech over his honorless [[spoiler: betrayal of Ned Stark]] and his part in ThePurge at the end of the previous episode, then reveals that he's replaced him as Commander of the City Watch with Bronn, before having him dragged off by his own former soldiers to be [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves shipped off to the Night's Watch]]. Bonus points for never raising his voice or losing his calm during any of this.
** Bronn gets his own moment during this; first, he pulls a StealthHiBye on Janos, followed by him nonchalantly giving the order to have him dragged off.

Rephrased, because Sandor Clegane quite specifically doesn\'t give a flying shit about honor.


* Sandor and Gregor Clegane are ordered by Robert to stop fighting, but Gregor takes another swing at Sandor's head. With less than a second to react, he figures out the one way to save both his honor and his life, and kneels to Robert so the sword passes over his head.

** The sheer TranquilFury in Sophie Turner's voice, as well as the KubrickStare she gives Joffrey, really sell this scene, and raised Sansa's stock with a lot of people. Especially since immediately after she tries to shove Joffrey off the balcony, and even though it doesn't work it proves once and for all that Sansa really is a Stark.

* Tyrion crashing Joffrey's name day party, verbally slapping him when he insults Ned in front of Sansa, before strolling into the Small Council where he announces himself as acting Hand and lays into Cersei for letting Joffrey screw things up so badly. And the smugness as he points out that for once ''he's'' the one in their father's good graces is just icing on the cake.

* Septa Mordane gets a very subtle one when [[spoiler: the Lannister troops begin killing all of the Stark household]]. She hears them coming, tells Sansa to hide, and then calmly advanced toward them. The real amazing part is that [[spoiler: in spite of there being four of them, with bloody swords in hand, when they see this single old, unarmed woman calmly striding toward them, the four soldiers ''stop'' and start very slowly ''backing away'']]. Though [[spoiler: she still ends up getting killed, the fact that her silent acceptance and defiance actually gives ''armed soldiers'' who were butchering others before her pause is pretty damned awesome]].

I, Drogo, will do this. I will take my Khalasar west to where the world ends and ride wooden horses across the black salt water as no Khal has done before. I will kill the men in iron suits and tear down their stone houses. I will rape their women, take their children as slaves, and bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak. This, I vow.

** Arguably the best part about that scene was the fact that the Hound just stands by and lets Tyrion slap Joffrey around with a look that screams "And not a single fuck was given that day." This troper likes to think Sandor was quietly cheering Tyrion on.
