Overall, I liked the episode. I really think is too early to bring LS into picture. Besides, you need to save some powerful stuff for season 4 (AFFC does not have too many awesome moments). As someone already mentioned, Theon-Ramsay's scenes are just lame. What is the point? I know there was a discussion about Theon being castrated or not in the books before the show, but do you really need to confirm it 3 times on screen???? I am scared about the introduction of Dorne and the Ironborn next season (Victarion, Euron, if they ever show up...) My Unsullied friends already think there are too many characters and names, so they might get lost! I know it happened to most of us reading the books, but this is TV, I am curious how they will handle it.

:agree: That would be a great, logical development.

I agree that dragons will become a problem. About Dany's reactions and tribulations about this, please let it be shorter and faster than her usual POVs...

I have not seen this anywhere, so I think this might be the place for it: I was reading Salman Rushdie's 'Satanic verses' to mitigate the extreme anxiety until TWOW is in my hands, and I found several references to the fight between ice and fire, and also a literal 'The night is dark and full of terrors', besides a general atmosphere that really reminded of GRRM's world. I do not want to be more specific because I don't want to spoil this book to anyone, but as ASOIAF's GOT came out in 1996 and Satanic verses in 1988, is there any mention of GRRM about being influenced by this book? Anyone that has read both things and can give an opinnion? Maybe I am too into ASOIAF (which I am) and I could find hints even in Sesame Street :blushing:
