How can anybody say that anything was wrong with the episode? It was absolutely magnificent. Stop bashing Pycelle's scene, it served the purpose - get some info about Aerys and Robert, show that Pycelle is a cunning old b*stard. can't wait for His Grace Shagga son of Dolf chopping off his manhood and feeding it to the goats! (JOKING!!! :P) Joffrey's acting was terrific. The boy has a talent. I liked how Cersei was depicted when Joff was running the court - she didn't seem all that happy about her son, which made me feel bad for her. First it was drunken boar she slept with and now its sadistic megalomaniac who happens to be her firstborn... oh and what do you know: enraged Starks are holding her brother captive - It really, really, re~ally sucks to be Cersei. Varys and Littlefinger - you gotta love those two, and I especially like these added scenes. They are the behind-the-scenes puppeteers, they are the heavyweights in this cursed game. Lord Varys wants peace and for that he is ready to renounce heroism and human virtues, Lord Petyr wants to have that which highborn ladies and gentlemen, who sneered and laughed at him, have gained by simply being born and take it for granted. For this he has to abandon morals and claw his way to the top. They are Both actors are doing magnificent job and I looked forward to seeing them and their characters in Season 2. THE KING IN THE NORTH! THE KING IN THE NORTH! - hallelujah Mr. Greatjon! The scene was epic, and people should really stop complaining that we did not see Riverlords - did you expect writers to introduce about dozen important characters in the finale? Somebody said that Dany's dragons look more like Wyverns. Guys, who gives a crap? Why should anyone give a crap? Anyway, the ending was epic as well. And oh boy, was I impressed with the performance of the actress playing the witch. When reading the book I was as enraged as Dany at the woman who did this to Drogo. When watching this episode I couldn't help but agree with her - is it not kinder to kill one child to save thousands upon thousands of men from death, women from rape and children from slavery? It is. And if such future can be avoided by killing one unborn child, so be it. Which one of us wouldn't kill baby Hitler if we lived in his time and knew in advance of his future atrocities?
