solid episode, but i gotta admit, I'm missing Tywin's presence of menace. Kind of a slow start to the season.

Another solid episode. Really loving the season thus far, even with the major changes.
OK, loving it so far but am I the only one getting annoyed with the dragon thing? I mean we get it...you are losing control of the dragons and they are dangerous.
I think we get it by now.

I think it's quite on purpose that they're showing her losing control over the dragons.
Oh I agree but they have beaten the point to death IMO. How many scenes do we need to hammer home she is losing control? I think the audience gets it by now. Just move the plot point of that forward already.

Yeah, but not everyone has the advantage of having read the books already. I can see why they're doing it.

hate to say this but I'm a little bored this season.
at least Jon Snow finally got some balls.

It's moving slow this year, in part because there's way too much going on at once. The ending of this episode signifies that things are starting to heat up.
OMG. My favorite part. They have dragged on the Jon Snow thing FOREVER. It's about freaking time they advance his characters journey.
Also, have to agree....they need to pick up the pace. Although, based on what is going on with George R. Martin and the show officially announcing they will finish before the books.......seems like they are buying time this season.

ehhh..... I seem to remember every season starting this way. Eps 4 & 5 are when everything hits the fan.
they have cut quite a bit out in order to speed everything along. I am enjoying it but it does feel like each episode should have had about ten more minutes or so.

Welcome to Amareca
I assume you have not read the books based on your comments.
What does that have to do with anything? I am not commenting on the books. This is not a discussion about the books. I am talking about how the story is unfolding on the show.

Yeah.... But to be clear.... I disagree with this being a slow start.
The dialogue of the last episode was great. And Snow going all Rob Stark season 1 ep 1, minute 1. was so ice cold.
And anytime Littlefinger (AKA Tommy Carcetti) is on the screen I get a big smile on my face.
Loved it.
I do wish Tyrion would get to Mereen already. That is TV gold waiting to happen.

The show does feel a little different from past seasons, and I certainly felt that way reading book 4 when I did, but I think it's kind of expected. The War of the 5 Kings is essentially over by now, with only Stannis remaining and he's stuck way the hell up North, with winter fast approaching. Other than the Lannisters, the other major characters are either stuck somewhere (The Wall, Meereen) or on journeys trying to get wherever they hell they need to get to. I do hope the pace picks up a bit though.

awesome episode.

Yep.
Good episode last night. Although I am getting deja vu again with all the talk of the White Walkers coming....which will go through the entire season probably only to get a flash once again. That is getting extremely annoying.
The fastest 55 minutes on TV. Every time the credits go up I'm convinced it has only been 20 minutes since the opening theme.
Enjoyed this episode - a lot going on, but the story moved along well.

I don't expect much of significance from the White Walkers until Season 7. I think Season 5 has so much going on beyond the White Walkers that it'll take too much time for anything to come together.
BTW - I enjoyed last night's episode.
