    What exactly was that coin and what all can it do?

    No book spoilers please. If you can't answer that without a spoiler, that's ok.
    As Rob said, she's heading to Braavos with the coin that Jaquen gave her in hopes of finding him. She wanted to go North but they ships aren't sailing that way so her only option is Braavos or trying to make it to the Wall by land, which she knows is too dangerous and long a trip. Arya also thinks that her entire family is dead outside of Jon Snow and she's intrigued enough by the Faceless Men (Jaquen) of Braavos so that's where she's off to!

      I thought the episode was solid, but they really rushed the ending and the lack of a few interactions that changed the characters in the next 2 books.

        Please excuse my ignorance, but would anyone mind giving me the details on Tysha, the Tyrion-Jamie dispute regarding Tysha and how the Tyrion-Tywin showdown really occurred in the books?
        What was it that Jamie knew about Tysha that Tyrion didn't?
        And...
        Spoiler


        Thanks in advance!

        P.S. I will say that despite not having read the book, I still understood why Tyrion wanted to visit Tywin before escaping.
        I think the show explained enough how the two of them really did hate each other and that Tywin had several times gone out of his way to rid himself of his imperfect child.
        That might not have been the reason for his confronting Tywin in the books, but I thought the reasons sufficed from what the show gave us.

          Not sure what Tyrion went looking for without the context from the books. That doesnt add up at all.

            That's because the show did a TERRIBLE job with the Jaime/Tyrion scene.

                  It musta been hilarious for show-only people. Tyrion is about to escape through the depths of the dungeons and then **poof**, he's popping up through the floor in the Hand's chamber.

                  Would have been a huge WTF moment for me.

                      I'm never going to get over the end of this episode. The fade to black pause played with my emotions. Then I blame marvel for giving hope that it might happen after the credits lol.

                        I was just wondering how the hell did a door from the dungeon end up in him being in the hand's chambers. But when I saw him finish Shae I didn't mind anymore. That was one death I couldn't get enough of. Im just mad Tyrion seemed sorry. F that! lol

                        Btw the Tywin stuff was so unsatisfying. I thought I would be happier about it.

                          For me the Tywin death was awesome, but a little bitter sweet due to how great of an actor he was. An attachment you probably don't get when reading it happen.

                              I 2nd that thought. I started to like his character more and more with each passing scene he was in.

                                It wasn't explained as well(if at all, I don't really recall) as it was in the books but Tyrion having been acting Hand before, and being kind of close to Varys, resided in that same room and knew a lot of the ends and outs of the building, the secret passages and such.
