The Death Pool is Alive and Kicking!

Battles, dragons, and death-scenes... oh my!  There was more anticipation for episode 4 than any other episode this season and it certainly did not disappoint.  For those who haven't watched - SPOILER ALERT!
I'm not sure which part I enjoyed the most, but here are some of my fav moments from week 4:

1.  Learning how Varys lost his boys, then learning he captured the offender, then learning he's keeping the fire wizard locked in the box with his mouth sewn shut.  That Varys is a hell of an educator and the Lord of Ballthievery has been schooled.
2.  Seeing Jamie on the brink of death with his les mains necklace (coming soon to a Forever 21 near you), then watching as he drank enough horse piss to make Bear Grylls proud.  This guy's been kicked when he's down more than Lin Lo, although equally self-imposed. 
3.  That awkward moment when Theon realizes 1) he burned small children to save Winterfell, which he later lost,and 2) narrowly escaped death and a sweet ass raping only to end up back in a dungeon with a sack on his head... don't worry Theon - it's a look that is totally in this season (also coming soon to a Forever 21 near you).
4.  The last scene.  Period.  As a side note, if they were to re-shoot Beyonce's video for "Run the World", it should be this scene with a little extra choreography.
5.  There are no sapphires on the "sapphire isle"!  WTF!?  Jamie lied?! Double WTF!?  Jamie lied to save another person?!  Sh*t just got real weird.

6.  Night's Watch vs. Craster... this is what I always imagined the storming of the Branch Davidian complex in Waco to be like, only with more spears and less Kool-Aid.

7.  Arya calls out The Hound for being a murderer.  This trial could have used Johnnie Cochran... you know The Hound rocks a mean glove.  A quick acquittal and everyone is home in time for some of Hot Pie's famous bread.  FFR (for future reference, duh):  the new character we meet here is Beric Dondarrion, aka The Lightening Lord, currently an undrafted free agent.
8.  The death of The Lord Commander which means our noble Lord of Wolverine Landing has found himself in last place...  time to buy some booze!

Our current standings:

1.  Lady of Sparklefell - all team members alive and no rules violations

2.  Lady of Whimsy - all team members alive with most historic rules violation

3.  Lord of Anxietyhall - all team members alive with most recent rules violation
