All right, this is one of those "prepare yourself" episode. Why? Because, it's like nothing happens, it's just a prologue to the real deal. Literally, every scene was just a preparation for something else. Even Sam's opening dialogue with Gilly is proof to that! They are talking about the Wall, just before we actually see the Wall and the danger it presents to the Wildlings. The Robb/Frey scene, also another prologue to a much bigger plot, beautifully executed. Perhaps the best ones where Jaime&Brianne/LordBolton, Tyrion/Sansa and Theon/"Boy". Wonderful performance by the whole cast! And that Petyr/Varys scene, damn!!! What a friggin' good scene!!! From Joffrey having executed Ros to Sansa weeping over the departure of Petyr's ship, it was all awesome!! And that final scene on top of the Wall between Jon and Ygritte was extremely good! A real romance born there!
I must say I am greatly disappointed in Arya's scene....I understand this is an adaptation of the books....but still, why couldn't they just add a small-time actor to play Edric Storm? Why did they had to, once again, alter everything in the books and make to characters who never meet, met? I didn't mind Robb meeting Qyburn, but Arya meeting Melissandre is a whole different thing....
I just hope D.B. and David know what they are doing, and that they are keeping in mind both George R. R. Martin as the fans of the books....
