Episode 3: Breaker of Chains
Starks- Sansa managed to get away and it's all due to...Petr Baelish aka Littlefinger. Time will tell if getting out of King's Landing was the best thing for Sansa, or if it was a 'out of the frying, pan, into the fire' kind of idea with creepy, manipulative Littlefinger. This also begs the question of who killed Joffrey and who was working with Baelish (other than Dontos)? Meanwhile Ayra is still on her adventure with the Hound, discovering the lengths he will go to get what he wants, like silver. It does say something that he didn't kill the farmer, just injured him. I'm worried his jaded nature will rub off on Arya, if it hasn't already.
Lannisters- Cersei is still on her rampage to declare Tyrion immediately guilty, even using Jaime's love or her to try to get him to kill his own brother. I've read a lot of debate of their scene together and do agree it was done against what the book had down. We also got to officially hear Tommen speak and see that Tywin sees him as the chance to have a proper ruler (that he can control). Tyrion is of course still in jail and basically broke up with Pod to save his life so that was a sad moment.
Tyrells- Margaery seemed more upset of not being queen than the murder of Joffrey so that should tell us something. Her grandmother seemed optimistic about her next marriage but the question now is who that husband will be?
Night's Watch- Well don't they just have a ton of problems. From the wildings and their double assault to the mutiny at Craster's Keep. I wonder who will step up to be a leader during these difficult times *cough, jon cough*.
Martells- It's know been established that Oberyn is known for his poisons, but it seems as though they are really hammering the point of the Dornishmen's sexuality. It is interesting Tywin is wheeling and dealing to bring the Martells to his side against Tyrion, so we will see how that goes.
Stannis- Still as unpleasant as ever. I feel like in his current state, he would kick a puppy. Anyway, I'm loving the friendship of Shireen and Davos and can't waot to see how the Iron Ban responds to the letter. Also any episode without the foreboding presence of Melisandre is fine with me
Wildings- a very "Two Towers" sequence with the wildings raiding the towns closest to the Wall. We also keep getting teased with the idea of Mance, although he hasn't been seen but the Thenns are pretty terrifying. More Ygritte killing people, so there's that. It'll be interesting to see her and Jon interact.
Dany- still on her campaign against slavery, but this time she's appealing directly to the slaves of Meeren, who likely outnumber the nobles in the city. I can't wait to see the forthcoming battle between the two forces and if the slaves rally to Dany's cause. Still not feeling this new Daario, but maybe his scences will mimic how they are in the book.
