The episode was good, but...(future spoilers inside) Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 10/05/2011 05:16:23 PM
Since when was the Hand's chain of office a broach? What's Tyrion going to do, stab Shae to death with it? Somehow that's not as fitting as the song and strangling.

Also, I was not as pleased with the inn scene. Maybe its because I loved that scene so much in the books, it seemed so forced on screen. As well, it would have been a lot cooler if the men at arms there had simply drawn their swords rather than pointed them at Tyrion...somehow I don't think there was a need to point 10 swords at a defenseless dwarf. Drawing them would have made more sense, the threat is there but it doesn't seem so over dramatic.

As well, I'm starting to hate the actress who plays Lady Stark. She is just not suited to the role I don't think.

That said, I liked Hodor (if he's a lot older than I pictured him) and I like the set up for how the Greyjoys will betray the Starks later on.

Oh, and the Mountain is WAY too small. I realize they had a limited pool to choose from but come on, I was expecting someone who when mounted looked like Zdeno Chara on the ice-gigantic. This guy looks barely above normal size.

Anyway, all that said for new viewers who have no history with the books, I don't see all this being a huge issue.
