Ok so I guess I liked the episode, but there's really one thing bothering me... Why the assassin was given a fucking dagger ? That doesn't make no sense.
The goal of the Queen and her brother was to prevent the boy from talking AND disguise his death as accidental. That's why Jaime didn't rip Bran's guts aparts with his sword and just gently pushed him through the window when the boy saw him riding the Queen.
The assassin's dagger contradicts this goal. He should have wanted to strangle the boy, or choke him with a pillow, or poison him, this way no one would have lead further investigation. Given the medieval settings, I don't think they're aware of autopsies...
So you might say, maybe he had planned to do that, but he took his dagger when he saw Catelyn - who "wasn't suppposed to be here". Well, aparently she has been sitting in the room since her boy fell, and the Queen herself saw her when she came to visit the boy, so that's kind of strange but nevermind. (I know he set on a fire as a diversion, but still).
The big problem is : why was he given a dagger in the first place if the plan was to discretly murder the boy ? And why an assassin would need a weapon to just (because no one is "supposed to be here") kill a fucking sleeping child ? You know, assassins often already have weapons so that they can assassinate people... But maybe it was like a special dagger, + 15 damage against innocent sleeping 10-years olds, with a critical chance of not missing so he's sure to hit...

For me, the dagger spells a word in giant blood-red letters : CONVENIENCE.
It is a VERY convenient way to make the Starks realize the Lannisters want Bran dead...

What the hell, they killed the butcher's boy and an innocent dog; that's just sick. Sad fact is people are more outraged by the dogs death than the boy.

Direwolf, not dog. He is just young enough at this part of the story that it was played by a dog.

I wonder how are they going to do them later when each of the live ones will be as huge as the corpse of direwolf they showed in the pilot.

Was definitely a good episode. I noticed a LOT of exposition that I think will help explain who everyone is for new viewers. Especially that recap at the beginning, it was one of the best recaps I've seen fir a TV show ever.

Does it still bother everyone else that they made all the children older than they actually were? Every time they mention Bran being 10, Rickon being 6, Arya being whatever she is, I correct them out loud.

I also would have preferred that tehy keep the "it should have been you" line in there. It's important for Catelyn's character, to show that she's not all good, and can be spiteful and mean (just like everyone else in GoT). The whole point of the books is that NO ONE is all good, and no one is all bad either.

If viewers are upset over the off-screen death of an animal and not the incest, murder, attempted murder, prostitution and cursing that has been depicted so far… stop watching, because this is the happy part.

You just might not want to continue watching the show then.

That's one thing I'm worried about. Once it become clear that + Show Spoiler [mod edit] +

What's going to happen when main plot characters start dying or turning into giant d-bags?

I don't mind people dying, it was just surprising what happened, more than half the characters are dbags already I just want to see more fighting and those creatures.

My only complaint is that they are focusing more on the sex scenes than on the fighting; episodes seem to end rather fast.
