MAYBE SEAN BEAN WILL RETURN AS NED'S TWIN BROTHER "TED STARK" NEXT SEASON!?
It was pretty shocking in the books too. And just think, there's still another episode to go!
I was a bit disappointed by the (lack of) battles. Yes I knew they didn't have the budget for anything big, but they could have done a bit more intimate fighting at least. Tyrion being knocked out was really cheap and made him look a bit silly. IN THE BOOK the battle is told from his point of view and he even defeats a knight using his head. So I thought we might have saw that. We didn't see Gregor in action either and I WONDER if non book readers are confused as to why he was even included earlier in the seasno when we haven't seen him since (he'll be back in the future.) I thought at least we'd see Jaime taking out some Stark men before being captured since that was in a wood and it would have been easier to show it without needing to see lots of other people all around...anyway, I'm a bit worried about how they're going to do the ridiculously epic battle from book two (spoilers!) now...
Anyway, it was still really good. Walder Frey is disgusting. He didn't really look ninety but the actor was good. The scene with Maester Aemon revealing his heritage to Jon was really good too. And all the Dany was cool and Emilia Clarke's acting was the best its been (plus Jorah in his armour FOR THE LADIES.)
No chance of seeing the Tower Of Joy or "promise me, Ned" now though.
