The Shadowbinder

Yeah the White Walker looked like a hairy zombie with arthritis... :P How am I suppose to dread an enemy I can escape at a brisk trott? I always imagined the White Walkers as elegant, graceful... almost elven in appearance. Where was the glittering armor? Monkey dude was nude. I liked the rest of the episode pretty well though. Kinda wondering why they made up that pointless king of Qarth storyline instead of fleshing out the HotU - which could have been half an episode and as epic as Blackwater. Robb, King of the North, getting married in the Light of the Seven, total fail. Guh why not just have Cat/Robb find out about Bran/Rickon dying before making these obviously terrible, stupid decisions :( Tyrion and Shae was great, they're making her character much more interesting than in the book. Really loved Theon. One of my favorite book arcs, and I feel like we're learning even more about his motivations and feelings through the series. Comical Dagmar ending was a little odd - but I'm pretty sure this is a setup for Season 3 Theon to recall the Bastard's betrayal and burning of Winterfell in flashbacks. Really looking forward to season 3, I expect it'll be much better since they can (hopefully) go into more detail since its only half a book. Valar Morgulis! That was awesome too :) although I wish Jaqen did the downward face wipe transformation like in the book but now I'm just nitpicking :P
