Reply #14: bit of a transitional episode

[lazarus]

just shifting the plot forward, no major things happening.

I think Robb has seriously spooked the Lannisters. Why else are they so concerned with getting Eddard to swear fealty to Joffrey? Since they've convinced a big chunk of the populace that he's a traitor, they could just do away with him and be done with it.

If they get some of the other kingdoms on their side, the Lannisters could be in big trouble.

Tyrion's subplot is interesting. He's a fascinating character, and Dinklage should be considered for an Emmy (does this series qualify for this year's Emmies?).

Finally, so that's what it looks like when you tear someone's throat out. So now I know.

And knowing is half the battle.
