Great start. Closing scene with Arya and The Hound was great.

Yeah, was so happy to have some awesome Arya and Hound stuff. That was great as was the stuff with Jamie and Brienne. Thought the new Prince from the South was pretty solid as well.

Hated the flower crap with the new Daario and Dany and I also wish stupid Shae would go away or die or something; just an awful character who only serves to bring everything to a screeching halt.

I was trying to figure out who the guy with Grey Worm was. I'm actually bummed out that they recast the Daario character. I thought the person that played him in season 3 did an excellent job.

Sansa is the only character that I can't stand. Granted its how the character is written, but the endless whining and crying is really getting old.

I hated the Daario recasting. The rest was good to great. This season is going to be the best yet.

I was surprising to actually see the reforging of Ice in the show, kind of cool. A lot of background for the beginning but things should start heating up pretty quickly.

is there a reason that he's a new face? actor quit or die after last season?

or is he one of those assassin dudes from wherever that changes faces?

damn she is annoying. Her character has been shit on more than any other at this point, but holy hell I don't give a damn about her.

...I think it's the actor.

Was that Rob Stark's old sword they melted down? And I'm assuming that was the hide of his direwolf?

My wife hated that one herself, but he might be one of the faceless, seems to me more production related we hadn't heard about maybe.

Labor dispute ??

Though the assassin thing does start coming more into the series soon.

I like her in it, it's one of those "be careful what you wish for" roles from the first episode.

There will be many more things in the near future that involve her.

I don't know after her father getting his head off, almost being raped a few times, being forcibly declothed in the throne room and Joffrey constantly trying to abuse her I don't think she has whined too much.

Sansa knows how to play the game of thrones with what she has. She's not physically strong or wickedly cruel but my guess is she'll survive a lot of 'more ruthless' characters.

As far as Shae.

:whiste:

I'm awaiting Joffrey's wedding, weddings on this show have a habit of being real interesting.

I'll leave it at that.
