Got caught up on the new season this past weekend. As usualy Tyrion is great as always.
And I like that Bronn got his rewards, and pretty much admitted he can kill children.

these episodes are waaaaaaay too short- they need to be at least an hour 20...i feel like the opening credits are longer than some story segments.

Anyone else an "icky" when seeing that ShadowThing being born/created?
That's how you show dark magic coming into effect! By being so horrible
that it creates a gut reaction in those seeing it.

You mean 'The Devil's Queef'?
Yeah, I thought "Okay, this just stepped up a notch here. Now we're getting into some dark magic-type s**t..."

While reading the books, the two characters I despised most were Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton. The actor portraying Joffrey in the show is perfect for the role, and I applaud him for his acting.
Love that little guy.
Tyrion is easily my favorite character on the show.

I cannot think of a death that would be come close to giving him the justice he deserves before he dies.i tought i could'nt hate jeofrey more.....

And I must agree with what was mentioned above. The actor playing him does an excellent job.
In particular I love the mix of emotions he shows on his face when he does senes with his uncle Tyrion.

Btw, how does everyone feel about the cgi for the dire wolves.
Myself, I love that they have decided to go with it.
It's been a little hard for me to picture the dogs used last season as creatures that inspire fear and terror.

Not having read the books, I think it would be proper if Arya's wolf returned and finished the job he started with Joffrey.

last night's ep was pretty good- this season definitely had a lot of exposition, maybe too much, so to see battle actually joined was pretty good.
i really hope next week is not anticlimactic!!!
i do question the 'siege' stanis layed down...and why did the hound sortie out really? I guess for budget reasons I wasn't expecting a long drawn out proper siege, and am also wondering where the red headed witch went off to.

The hound is Sandor Clegane, isn't it?
Anyway, for me, it was a relief to see one story followed all the way through the episode without switching to another set of characters that we've half-forgetten.
I don't remember very much about Stannis, just the Hound thanking him for cutting off his fingers.

definitely am with you on the segments...they should keep to the gym class schedule of A week is this set of characters, B week is the other. When the opening credit is longer than some story segments you have a problem, especially when some of the segments kind of dragged into exposition which was hard to keep track of.
