@Mark Julian
First of all, Its my Sunday night @ work routine to get on this site on my phone and read everyone's comments bout the previous episode we all just watched and I am disgruntled Mark Julian that you waited til morning to post this. I work overnights and that does not help me slack at work. ;)

Secondly, I laughed quite alot in this episode and I am deeply satisfied with that. The scene with Bronn annoying Tyrion with his picking nails or argument on proper Clothing for a City Watch Commander. Also Arya's Death threat to 'The Man'. Good Episode, just pissed I have to wait a week.

If you guys think this season is awesome, just wait until season 3 and 4 because they're splitting the third book into 2 seasons because it's so huge. Season 3 is where everything is going to explode! Major twists and turns with a bunch of huge surprises coming for those who didn't read the books. Ones who have read the books know exactly what I'm talking about, if the writers of the show stick to the source material because they strayed pretty heavily this second season from the book BUT in a good way. The changes are awesome. But knowing what happens in the third book, they won't change the very important elements which there are A LOT of them. And to answer @justanotherfilmgeek...the changes they made were Dany never had her dragons stolen from her. She went willingly to The House of the Undead with her dragon Drogon on her shoulder. Not going to say what happens just in case they stick to what happens when she's in there in the show. Conversations between Lord Tywin and Arya never happened, she just served him and listened to everything. Jaime Lannister didn't escape from his jail cell the first time. He killed Lord Karstark's sons on the battlefield. When Theon Greyjoy cut off Ser Roderick's head it wasn't him in the book. It was Mikkon the swordmaker or blacksmith. Big one...Joffery NEVER had two whores and had them beat each other in the book, plus there's no whore named Roz in the book. The whore that Cersei had beaten in episode 8 named Roz in the show was actually named Alayaya in the book. And in episode 8 when Sam and Grenn are digging in the snow and find the dragon-glass weapons, it was Jon Snow along with Ghost who digs up the ruins in the book.

@justanotherfilmgeek...Also forgot about Lady Talisa, the one that Robb Stark bangs. Don't know if she's using an alias in the show to hide her true identity from her being Jeyne Westerling who is royalty in the book after Robb saves them at Crag in a battle. In the book, Robb explains to Catelyn he fell in love with her after the battle from her tending to his wounds but all the interaction with him and her in the show never happened. He comes back to Riverrun where Catelyn is kept under house arrest by her brothers for freeing Jaime. Robb is never angry at her for freeing Jaime, he understood in the book but also agreed with her brothers to keep her in the castle.
