An hour never goes by so quickly as it does during this show! Gave it an 8. As always, Tyrion delivers his lines flawlessly. And whoa, was not expecting full frontal on Theon! Also like that Bronn already comes off as a very fluid and savvy fighter. Sean Bean still annoys me.

Best episode yet, but still gave it just a 6.5. I have a hard time believing that non-reader fans are keeping interest at this point. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I'm constantly disappointed. This is the first episode where LF's lines don't feel completely flat, but his explanation of Sandor's burn was a bit painful. Where are Varys giggles? I also am not a big fan of Sean Bean. I know that he is supposed to come across as brooding and wary, but to me he just looks slightly confused. And I was SO excited when Hodor was called, but when he came out, was like wth? That being said, Jon/Sam/Alliser = pure. joy. I also think Cersei is fantastic, Jaime too. And Theon - wow, was not expecting that! Great acting, and definitely looking forward to more of him. The shows are definitely getting better, and looking forward to rating an episode a 10...

I still think that despite having 2 arms, Tommy Dunne would make an excellent Donal Noye :) http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/2010/11/22/the-artisans-tommy-dunne.html
