I wonder if we'll see Jamie at all, or if we'll have to wait till next week to see how he's doing.

Fantastic episode. I was surprised to see the Night's Watch turn so fast on Jeor.

First half was kind of slow, but the second half made up for it in spades. Final shot was awesome!!!

Woah! Loved the look on the slave trader's face when he realized Dany was speaking Valyrian.

Dani just gave me a permanent boner.

Good scheming in the first half. Loved the scene with Varys and Queen of Roses.

Theon just can't catch a break. I wonder what the deal is with that guy who's playing with him.

Loved the look on Cersei's face when she saw how easily Margery could get Joffrey to do whatever she wanted.

Now, that's what I'm talking 'bout.

This episode encapsulates what Storm of Swords is like...breakneck pacing, momentous events in every chapter. If anything, the suspense & surprises in the book have much greater impact.

After the understandable early catching up episodes, the story dragons have been unleashed.

Huge props to the location scouts, costume designers, set builders, CGI artists, and everyone else involved in creating the atmosphere.

Loved the preview. Maisie can really deliver a "Burn in Hell" line.

Dani has turn out to be a real boss... props to her.

What a great episode and it should only get better from here on end.

I certainly never ever thought I'd be shouting at my television, "She can speak Valyrian, you slaver bastard!" and then cackling like a crazy homeless person who just got another fix of crack.

I was most surprised to see Mormont die.

Figured that's what would happen with Dany, but didn't figure it'd happen so fast.

I've been surprised anyone could think anything different from the moment she learns to be a wife to a man she initially despised.

Hah! I had a feeling Daenerys could understand that arrogant prick the whole time. Glad it turned out that way. Same with the dragon double cross. Perfect, but what a fool the guy was.

That was a real WTF moment with Theon's 'rescuer.'

Great episode!

No complaints about the end/title music this time?

Amazing episode! I need to watch the ending again. Like now.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "And Now His Watch Is Ended" -- 4/21/13

This was definitely an awesome episode. Dany has now become such a real threat - if the folks on Westeros were real, I would be worried for their well being which is unfortunate since I am rooting for a few of them. We'd been told how dangerous dragons were since the start but it wasn't until now that I starting thinking she could really conquer the seven kingdoms.
