        After seeing two episodes I've ordered the first book.
        But that's cheating!

        (My method so far has been to read the chapters that happened in the episode after the show aired. Helps with the background more than anything else, but still good fun.)

        Oh yeah, this was an amazing episode. Very family-driven in its own twisted way, and the plots are working all toward something big, which I can't wait to see. Felt a little rushed in places, and maybe a little subtitle at the bottom of the screen every now and then saying a month has passed might not go astray, but everything else comes together brilliantly.

        I can safely say that pegging Tyrion and Arya as my two favourite characters has not let me down yet! 'Cause, I mean, wow. Gotta give props to Ned too, though it felt like he was barely there, he's a just man who does what he has to, and that's awesome. Catelyn taking out her frustrations on Jon seemed a bit cruel, but understandable. She definitely helped herself in my eyes by defending Bran from the assassin like that.

        Dany's plot so far is interesting because it's a very visible character journey from wounded girl turned queen who's starting to influence the Khal ever-slowly. Man I hope she turns into something beyond badass. That'll be fun.

        And, oddly enough, I find myself liking Jamie Lannister a lot. Something very disarming about the guy playing him, and if not for the incest and the attempted murder of Bran, I'd think he was pretty solid.

        Glad Joffrey got bit. So much.

          I was actually thinking, those dogs have grown up pretty damn fast

          Ha Jamie Lannister is becoming my favorite character aswell, i mean the actor is doing such a good job of it, i thought it was cool how calously (i think thats the word) he pushed bran of the edge in last episode

          Spoiler:
          Now i expected Bran to wake up right at the end of the episodes, wonder if the mother is going to survive the attack

            This this and this again. I was hoping Arya would beat him up though.

            Another great episode. Tyrion slapping Joffrey (So much win there)
            The wolf killing the assasin.
            Arya and Jon: "Impressive" "Shut up." "Its so skinny" "So are you"

            Fave characters so far. Tyrion. Arya. Jon. Ned. Bring on next week

              Here's an inside into The Kingsroad by the creators of the series
              http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/e...e&cmpid=ABC587

              I'll write my review after I've seen the episode a second time.
              I did like the second episode much better than the pilot.

                  Tyrion continues to be great. I like how he honestly speaks his mind even if the truth is brutal. His conversation with Jon was really well done.

                    Two episodes in & all he has said is no. All he does is stares, & grunts & has sex. I have to wonder how much his pay check is for this role lol

                        Yes. I still don't even know if he can speak English (or w/e they call it in the story)

                          In the first episode, Denarys called it "the common tongue". Don't know if it has an actual in-universe name though.

                            As amusing as Arya stabbing Joffrey would've been, it would've created massive problems for the Starks.

                            Spoiler:
                            Joffrey will meet his just fate in another way.

                              The show is getting better.

                              I think they've made up for that scene I complained about in the first episode (Jon Snow and Tyrion discussing being a bastard and dwarf, respectively) with the delivery of one of my favourite character's (the Dwarf) lines in this episode. (and the slapping. hehehe. I actually don't remember that from the book...was it in there?)

                              Oh, and I also loved how the Intro CG was slightly different: instead of lingering on Pentos, it went straight to the Dothraki Sea. Awesome.

                              Also, more footage of the 'samurai' Lannister armor. Kinda weird, IMHO. I guess I got used to the card game's depiction (most knights and soldiers had tabards, showing House heraldry, and mail, if memory serves).
                              Still, the stuff (i.e., armor and weapons) in the show are quite pretty.

                              As for the Wall: I can't wait to see more of it. I'm hoping for a shot from the top, looking down on both sides (north and south).
                              Heck, most of the locations look great (the godswood in Winterfell, for instance).
                              The show, as a whole, looks great.

                              Gah. I hope they're filming the next season already.

                              Spoiler:
                              and which book do the Unsullied appear in? I'm curious about how they'd be depicted, too
