I loved the way Dany threatened Viserys after he attacked her. I might be misremembering, but she didn't do that in the book, did she? I really should know this since I've already read it 3 times, but oh well.

   His fingers dug into her arm painfully and for an instant Dany felt like a child again, quailing in the face of his rage. She reached out with her other hand and grabbed the first thing she touched, the belt she’d hoped to give him, a heavy chain of ornate bronze medallions. She swung it with all her strength.
   It caught him full in the face. Viserys let go of her. Blood ran down his cheek where the edge of one of the medallions had sliced it open. “You are the one who forgets himself,” Dany said to him. “Didn’t you learn anything that day in the grass?...

I seriously can not understand why so many people think that's all we'll get of the tournament.  Not just on this site, but ever site I've been to.  There was nothing at all to indicate that the tournament was over.

I think part of the problem is they made it feel so small. They didn't make a big deal about starting it, so perhaps it ends just as quietly? Anyway, it's not worth worrying about as it will soon be made clear that there is more to come.

I gave it an 8. There were some good scenes, however I felt that the nudity was somewhat pointless and I have children watching. Sorry if that makes me a prude. On that note I liked the bit where Jon Snow is talking with Sam about that sort of thing. It is rare to have a character on a TV show actually being seen to care about things like this these days.

Welcome!  (I just welcomed you at the new reader thread, too...)  Just a suggestion--you have children watching this series?  I'd suggest that unless they're teens, this isn't going to be the show for for kids.  Some very brutal, very graphic stuff is coming.

Anyway, welcome to the board!

I'd be more worried about my son seeing the the Ser Hugh scene than the rather minor nudity (slightly more the simulated sex than the nudity itself).  But he's (almost) 6, so I figure I've got another 6 years or so before I can even begin to contemplate watching the show with him anyway.

The "LF telling Sansa the Hound's story" ruined this one for me, sorry.

THIS. How DARE they?

Sandor should kill Littlefinger.

This was a good episode. It was nice to finally see Dany lay the smackdown on Viserys. I cheered for her.

I think the ambush scene on the way to the Eyrie was my favourite combat scene in the entire first season. Established Bronn as a bad mother hubbard.

I rated a 9, the ending scene is still, for me... one of the best.
