Best episode yet. I did miss Jon and Dany a bit, yes, but there was so much going on with the other stories that it made sense to focus on them (the only bit that felt out of place was the Theon scene.)
If Gregor was disappointing last week he made up for it this week. He decapitated a fucking horse!
Tyrion saved Cat BUT SHE DOESN'T EVEN THANK HIM THE BITCH. Bronn was cool when we saw him ("give me ten good men with climbing spikes and I'll impregnate the bitch.")
DRAGON SKULL. Arya is a bit too pretty to be mistaken for a boy all the time, but I suppose highborn girls would never be wearing trousers and covered in dirt so it makes sense!
Lysa was suitably crazy and Robert was really creepy. I thought they might leave out the breast feeding. Eww.
The Sky Cell looked awesome.
The Robert/Cersei scene was really good. Made her a bit of a sympathetic character and Mark Addy continues to impress.
The Ned/Jaime fight was really well done too. I liked how Jaime seemed to be playing with him at first but seemed to respect his skill at the end and was angry when his guard stepped in. It was different from the book (a horse fell on Ned's leg in the book) but just as effective.
Poor Jory, one minute he's looking at breasts, the next he's been stabbed through the eye (THE VERY SAME EYE HE USED TO LOOK AT BREASTS.)

It was more subtle in the first book, but it defintiely got more obvious as it went on. Remember Renly's "Rainbow Guard"? And Jaime's line when threatening Loras "I'll stick my sword somewhere even Renly didn't find."
And there was Margeary still being a virgin when she married Joffrey despite having been married to Renly.
The shaving scene wasn't in the book, but neither of them were point of view characters so there wasn't a chance to show them alone together. Same with the Robert/Cersei scene.

ALSO it was awesome when The Hound bowed to King Robert just as Gregor swung his sword at his head.

I knew last week's scene with Jaime and Jory talking in a (mostly) friendly way was foreshadowing his death but I couldn't mention it in the thread becasue not everyone has read the book. I'll point out more foreshadowing when the season ends!

Is this real life?
The breastfeeding scene really surprised me... the parents of that child actor must be really fucking desperate to make him famous! And I bet he didn't stop talking at school about how he got to suck a tit (probably not mentioning it was fake).
Um, anyway, it was a good episode! I would've been happy even if it didn't have an increase of action but it was still welcome. I'm sad that Ned's guard (Jory apparently... I hadn't even learnt his name yet!) is dead. It's nice to have some lower ranking yet familiar people in amongst the kings and lords and whatever.
I'm not totally clear on who Cockboy is and what his relationship is with the other characters. Some sort of ward, but where'd he come from exactly?
Didn't expect gay characters. TYPICAL POLITICALLY CORRECT MEDIEVAL FANTASY DRAMA.
That big guy really is cool. I hope we see him again. Wasn't really fair to blame Black Beauty for his failure though.
Hmm. So Ned's never going to walk properly again. What an unlucky family.

Cockboy: HBO: Game of Thrones: Viewer's Guide
Basically his family tried to rebel against Robert's rule ten years ago or so (which is what Jaime and Jordy were talking about last week and when Tyrion was talking about "burning sailors") and he's Ned's ward/prisoner to stop them rebelling again.
INTERESTINGLY he's played by Lily Allen's brother Alfie. I think she did a song about his wanksocks or something.

Oh, so that's why he looked familiar. He took over from Daniel Radcliffe doing Equus and everyone (some people on the internet) said he was lucky he had a big knob because Lily had got all the good looks.
Thanks for the link. It's difficult keeping track of all this stuff when a lot of it's happened off-screen.

The HBO guide is very useful and spoiler free!
People on THE INTERNET were complaining that Lysa wasn't fat enough because she's described as "plump" in the book. It's hardly an essential part of her character!

People on the internet are far too picky about such things. She may not look like their idea of Lysa, but she must look like their idea of crazy!
I had a few similar reactions to some of the characters, but as each episode airs I feel that way less and less.
