Also now that I've had more time to think about it....

- Cersei was nowhere to be seen this episode!
- Really interested to see what happens to Dany in Quarth (which looks awesome btw). If those people are really interested in her dragons, why don't they just kill her troop and steal them? They're hardly well hidden and defended...
- How many episodes is this season? 10? If so, it seems to be moving at a really slow pace. We're almost halfway through the season and not much has happened. As I said in my post yesterday, lots of new characters and so many storylines... but we're not seeing them do much! As a result, by the time I next see them on screen, I've forgotten who they are.... (like that red haired woman who gave birth at the end).
- And finally... WTF was that ending?!!!!!

arsy, it's qarth, not quarth! didnt you listen to xaro?

also, harrenhall looks amazing

Thought the episode was good if not a little dark... That ending was... something... lol. Not sure what to think of it or what it was. Qarth looked good. Awesome inside the place

Yes! I have a dragon! X(
But seriously... black misty creature thingy.... it's starting to become Lost!

> Last season the 4 first episodes were starters as well, I think with yesterday's episode they showed that they are picking up pace of some sorts

I think last season I watched all 10 episodes in the space of 2 or so days which didn't give me time to forget characters and parts of the story. As I'm now watching this season on a weekly basis, it can get a bit confusing trying to remember. Perhaps they should show it in 2 episode chunks to aid us non-book readers (might just be wishful thinking!).

Awesome!

After reading the books the characters are burned in my head. I can understand the difficulty for TV watchers.

Anyway it won't be anything like lost Way cooler and stuff

Eh, rewatch the episodes a few times, I watch an episode like four times throughout the week to catch all the subtle stuff. As for the characters themselves, you don't need to know every character. Ramsey Bolton isn't htat important now, Greatjon doesn't come up too often except for shouting KING OF THE NORTH. And other auxiliary characters aren't big players. They just all have names is all, other shows wouldn't name them but they get names because they are book characters that are more fleshed out.

They're anti-Lannister guerrillas, they become more important in the later books/seasons.

Btw book readers... who are the brotherhood (without spoilering if possible)? Those guys were torturing the prisoners in Harrenhall and asking about the Brotherhood.

do you remember in season 1 when a peasant comes in from the riverlands and complains about the mountain raping and pillaging?  this is while robert is out hunting and so ned is on the throne at the time. he sends a lord (beric dondarrion) and some of his own men out to hunt down the mountain. they are the brotherhood without banners.

Who knew a fantasy story is so predicative of current events.

LOL @ Colbert.
