Peter Dinklage(Tyrion) was awesome as usual, Lena Headey(Cersei) and Jack Gleeson(Joffrey) was remarkable. Scene changes with using comet was a great idea. Some acting looked stiff but other than that, it was a good start for season 2.
Good, but not great like first season. Because there is buts...
There is little screen time so we can understand why creators of this series, put some great things out of the show. My concern is what is "in" the show.
The writers seems to getting bolder this season so they decided to make the show little different than the books. I'm okay with that, but there is things you shouldn't change. Like character profiles.
1- Littlefinger not so dumb to threaten Cersei to her face. He doesn't play like that.
2- Joffrey not so bold to threaten his mother. Actually he is afraid of her. (now i wonder, how he will react on Tyrion's ass kicking.)
3- Stannis would not be so arrogant to deny north alliance if he really did learn the truth about Joffrey from Ned's letter.
4- Robb would not be so eager to become King in the North or keep the crown if he really knew that Stannis is the rightful heir.
5- And please, stop making Jaime Lannister look like a coward for your audience. Man doesn't fear death, he proved it countless times in the books.
My concerns not for present, but the future of this show. If you play character's profiles this way, soon people will start saying "this doesn't make sense. why he would do this, or why he wouldn't do that." This is not a comic book series, there is no whites and blacks, rights and wrongs. Line between good and bad is very thin in these books. So please, keep it that way.
