    No way can I show be this good

    No way is this possible. how can a show be this good. Amazing.

    The acting, story, directing. Just amazing all around.

    10 out of 10 yet again. A really fast paced episode with a lot of stuff happening. This episode has action and good dialogues. It has everything you want from this show.

    Just.. Amazing.

    Jaw dropping game changer

    It's taken me a while to wrote this review, due to my feelings after watching it.

    WOW if I disliked the sissy Prince Joffery before this episode I despise him now!! And I've gone from wanting to slap him, to wanting to outright kill the little prat.

    Daenerys has to make a difficult decision, as does honourable Ned Stark. Oh noble Ned and his honour. His so Robb is forced to make some tough decisions of his own too. An old charmer named Walder Frey makes an appearance, and is decidedly sleazy.

    My favourite scene of the episode for me was a drinking game between Tyrion, Bronn and a prostitute Shae, where he revealed the tale of his doomed first marriage. If this was the year he won the Emmy it is deserved. I have loved watching his performances and he is a firm favourite of mine.

    But the most memorable part of this episode still has to be the end. I was in a furious shock!! And was straight on the phone to my brother (who has seen them all) going mad!!

    As I said in previous reviews, I am not a Sean Bean fan, and feel he is the weak link in everything I see him in (Goldeneye, Ronin, LOTR). But I love his Ned Stark, and he is excellent here.

    All bets are off after this episode.

    I am in shock

    WTF that I just saw? The best chapter so far. Incredible the end, he left me with my mouth open for a few minutes. Amazing.

    The Boy King Rules Without Direction

    This is directed at the plotting. I am thoroughly enjoying this wonderful series. One thing that continues to strike me, however, is the absolute ruthlessness of most of the people. Has everyone been disenfranchised? Is everyone living in fear? Ambition seems to be the utter driving force for most; that is understandable. But from his birth, Joffrey has been promised the kingdom. Like Macbeth, he plays most foul for it. His mother watches his machinations, but he is the one character that I despise the most among many. He appears to be a sociopath or a sadist. He kills for pleasure, not for ambition. Meanwhile, his mother sits next to him, barely batting an eye. I'm look forward to what happens between these two. There is no mercy, as we find out with Ned, who is willing to confess to save his daughters but doesn't figure the consequences. The armies are meeting. Snow has received a sword but has vowed to the knights. Khal Drogo has suffered an infection and appears to be dying, and the Missus goes to a sorceress for advice to try to keep him alive.

    • Trivia
      This episode was Peter Dinklage's submission in the supporting actor in a drama series category in the 2011 Emmy Awards- the first Emmy win and nomination in his career.
    • Goofs
      Robb comments about the intercepted raven message "It's a birthday message to his [Lord Frey's] grand-niece Walda." The correct Westerosi term is "nameday," not "birthday."
    • Quotes

      Joffrey Baratheon: [announcing Eddard Stark's sentence] My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch. Stripped of all titles and powers, he would serve the realm in permanent exile. And my Lady Sansa has begged mercy for her father. But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am your king, treason shall never go unpunished. Sir Ilyn, bring me his head!

    • Crazy credits
      The cities and places featured in the opening credits change as the series progresses. For example, in the first episode, Pentos is shown whereas in later episodes, because it is not pertinent to the episode's narrative, it is not.
