The following comes from the "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online:

"Eric: I need Game of Thrones scoop!
If you thought this season was action-packed now, just you wait for the final four episodes! 'I don't want to ruin the story but yes, there's a moment that I absolutely can't wait for fans to see,' Eugene Simon, who plays Faith Militant member Lancel Lannister, says.

And here's part of our review of the latest episode, "Kill The Boy."

Once again, the show wisely decided to present an episode in large chunks rather than jump from place to place, which helped the narrative flow throughout the hour. We'll start at the end with the adventures Jorah and Tyrion as they sailed toward Meereen to meet with the Mother of Dragons herself.

Jorah had the brilliant idea to sail through Valyria, where the Stone Men attacked. And as we know, the touch of a Stone Man leads to grayscale. It was a tense situation, as Tyrion was in chains and Jorah was fighting off multiple assailants at once. Tyrion fell into the water to avoid the touch, but a Stone Man dragged him down. At that point, a friend of mine with whom I was watching remarked that this was a fantastic ending to the episode. But then it kept going. That's how brilliant Game of Thrones is and how engrossing each episode can be.

But no, Tyrion was alive and untouched by the stone attackers. Jorah, however, closed the episode with a twist by peeking at his arm and noticing some scales near his wrist. It's worth noting that the writers cleverly brought grayscale back to the forefront of the viewers' minds with the conversation between Stannis and his daughter last week, and now here they paid it off by afflicting poor Jorah with the disease. Of course, Stannis' little girl has proved that grayscale isn't a death sentence, so we'll have to see how this unfolds.
