Poor Tyrion. He can't buy a break. He is the most wise and honest character in this series, but his honesty is the last thing that these horrible people want. He ends up picking the perfect champion, one who has incredible agility and fighting skills, enough to defeat the monster. The problem is that he is possessed. He is filled with hatred for what the Giant has done to his family, and is not satisfied with just killing him. Meanwhile, Littlefinger is interrogated, concerning the death of the queen (for which he is responsible). Sansa defends him and makes it appear the Queen committed suicide. But what are her real motives? Is she coming into her own as a counter threat. We shall see. Then there is Dany who is beginning to reveal more and more bad judgment. Then there is Jorah. This is the man that is more responsible than anyone for where she is. She can't forgive. Her inconsistent compassion is making her reign harder and harder. Arya and the Hound finally get to where the ransom is to be paid, but the person who had the money has died. Arya goes into hysterical laughter as the Hound realizes he will get nothing for all his efforts. It is pronounced at the end that Tyrion's champion has failed and so Tyrion will face execution. I have to wait several days to see the next episode. Please help me be a patient man.
