Harrenhal at that scale would be huge.

Some folks did some size estimates for Harrenal in this thread. You're probably looking at around 75 acres total, which means that you're still looking at over an acre footprint of model: about 50,000 square feet. That's a lot bigger than most people's gardens, let alone houses. So unless you have access to an aircraft hangar, it's probably not feasible to build the whole thing in 28mm scale. 

While it would no doubt be awesome to behold, you're probably better off choosing a smaller castle to model!

When referring to an area, you have to divide by the square of the scale, so 75 acres on a 1:60 scale is about 900 square feet. Still larger than anything i'd want to build.

Did anyone else imagine Horn Hill a lot smaller? That looked like a huge castle. Also it looked like a library or a museum.

Loved Randyll. Great casting there.The dinner scene was good, but I think they've overdone it a little with the cheerful happy mother and sister. They seemed just a little too sweet to that complete stranger in rags.

Heartsbane looked cool, but I wonder why Sam would take it. No good can come of this. I get it, he's getting braver. But he's still smarter than that.

Really looking forward to Jaime/Blackfish confrontation. I loved that in the books. I'm not sure how well it can be done on TV though, since there's a lot in Jaime's inner thoughts.  Also Jaime on the show is someone else entirely

I'm not sure why he screamed, actually. From what I have heard leeches produce a numbing agent in their saliva, which is why when you're wading through their natural habitat you often don't feel them attaching to you. But I'll have to google to confirm.

I can confirm that by personal experience. You don't feel them biting at all. Well, at least that's true, if they bite on your ankles, legs or torso. Can't speak for other, more sensitive areas :uhoh:

One thing i read in the twop-board: Are they implying, that Tyrion decides to use the "services" of the woman he finds with Pycelle, when he puts the second coin on the table? I didn't think so, but apparently one might get the idea....
