    Admittedly, still not liking Stannis. He seems so whiney and pathetic in comparison to how he is made out to be, and the comments from Davos about Stannis being his god just come across as silly and petty because of it.

    Malahide MPV for the season, perfect Balon ^^
    Pitty no Victarion and Aeron so far :(

    I liked the ep in overall (Yoren being the motivator for Arya's prayer, was so-so, but still acceptable), can't wait to see Harrenhal!

    I liked the third episode, completely different change of pace from the first two.

    I felt that the Renly-Loras-Margaery dialogue was great, really capturing a dynamic that only seems to be implied in the novels. I also enjoyed the Night's Watch scenes, Yoren went out like a real boss, just as I imagined.

    The standout part for me though was how well they directed Tyrion's duplicity with the small council, by proposing different plans for Myrcella to Pycelle, Varys and Littlefinger; the transitions between the three and their different responses, interlinked with Tyrion's own musings on the Martells/Greyjoys/Arryns, was portrayed brilliantly by all involved and there was a real sense of satisfaction in seeing the snitch's comeuppance.

    The only part I disliked was those involving the Greyjoys, but then I've never liked the principles of their house and Theon's treachery was always a major annoyance for me, so seeing these things on-screen only served to exacerbate those sentiments. :P

    Another great episode. Brienne is spot on, and man is she tall.
    Loved the scene where Tyrion confronts Pycell. The bit where he puts the second coin for the prostitute had me laughing hard. The scene with Varys was good too, but since they'd spoiled the dialogue in the trailer, it was a bit underwhelming.
    And last part with Yoren and Arya. From the quiet chat they were having to the brutal and bloody deaths, it was excellent.
