Jon/Ygritte scenes

I'm having trouble gauging how big the dragons are now from that shot; seem to be up to large dog size but I'm not sure.

Dear god, I realized that 0:20 is Theon.

"Everyone is mine to torment" -- I know this scene from the books. I love it; Tywin hasn't been in King's Landing and doesn't really know Joffrey....but it's the point in the books when even Tywin realizes just how insane Joffrey actually is. Full on Caligula or Nero.

Sort of one of the points of Joffrey in the books: he has literally no redeeming values. He's "a vicious idiot". Tywin is ruthless, but Joffrey is cartoonishly violent and insane, he's a psychopath.

And the problem of course is that people find it hard to believe that Joffrey can be truly this idiotic....but his ineptitude and wanton, reckless cruelty know no limits.

For Tyrion this really hit when Joffrey shouts "kill them all" to his guards....when surrounded by barely a dozen guards and hundreds of starving peasants. He's a buffoon, who is going to drag down everyone around him in petty cruelty.

But the "everyone is mine to torment" scene in the books...that's the point when even Tywin, of all people, realizes just how absurd and crazy Joffrey actually is. He's a psychopath ripping the wings off butterflies. The sheer audacity of it is really what bothers Tywin; Joffrey doesn't even bother hiding it.
