Rewatch/Reread S02E05 - GoT the Ghost?

Johnny and Alex discuss episode 5 of season 2 of "Game of
Thrones," "The Ghost of Harrenhal" along with the corresponding
chapters of A Clash of Kings. Spoilers ALL. Not much plot
movement here (aside from Renly's untimely demise), but plenty of
discovery. Arya finds out she can Postmate murder, Theon realizes
that his new crew feels the same way about him that his family
does, Tyrion figures out Cersei's entire defensive strategy
is a giant Molotov cocktail (and he's not mad at it), and Dany
Paris Hiltons all over Qarth, but learns of Bobby B's death
between cocktails. Time to invade Westeros now that her dragons
can ALMOST cook a cube of meat.


Oh, and Beyond the Wall, the audience finds out that Chuck Norris
moved to Westeros, and he goes by the name of Quorin fucking
Halfhand.  


Aside from Renly's death, this episode was an honest to goodness
barrel of laughs, so we went a little long.. If you're
reading along with us, here's a handy guide to help you
follow along, since season 2 doesn't follow ACOC quite as neatly
as season 1 followed GoT..
