I think dany should have less time on screen since her storyline seems very disconnected from the rest of the show, I want to see what happens on the wall, iron islands, kings landing and so on, not some random desert places on the other side of sea
I see Dany's storyline as more clasical fantasy, a Mary Sue protagonist following her epic destiny in a story filled with dragons, warlocks and exotic places.
What happens in King's Landing and Westeros in general is more real politik and personal drama.
While the plot beyond the wall is a little more horrorish with the supernatural threat.
I think it makes a nice balance.
Dany is hardly a Mary Sue.
She is the very definition of a Mary Sue. Dany will be used in the internet encyclopedias of the future as a perfect example of a Mary Sue. A perfectly flawless and moralistic character in a world populated by otherwise interesting, dynamic, and gray characters. She's Abraham Lincoln, Jesus, and Winston Churchill rolled into one with all sorts of tankgrrl pseudo feminist characteristics shoehorned in to appease the fan girls. Worst POV character in the books, worst character in the show. Even Catelyn's arc was more interesting.
Yeah this was an emotional rollercoaster. So glad Cat killed Walder's wife.
I wonder if we're supposed to assume that Edmure and Blackfish are still alive... Edmure's married to the Frey girl but he's also going to be understandably upset that his in-laws just murdered his sister and such. Blackfish was out pissing on a tree when it all went down and he's a capable warrior, so he could still be alive somewhere/somehow.
Although the turn of events really shows why Bolton wasn't drinking though. Smart not to drink at all if you know all that is going to go down.
I didn't like the music though. As soon as the guy closed the doors, you knew Frey was doublecrossing them. As soon as they started playing Rains of Castamere, you knew everyone was dead. Kind of took a lot of the punch/surprise away from the scene.

Oh come on. So many other shows do the same thing. Perfect example? Give me a break.

It still made me so upset.
Robb Stark died because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. This is why 16 year olds shouldn't be king.
Nah, he died because he lost the Karstarks. A strong king can do as he please. When he loses half his forces, and the rest are plotters, he'll die even if he were a saint. He will atleast get sent to the wall to rot and freeze.

See I kind of disagree. As soon as the doors were closed I knew something bad was going to happen, but instead of thinking about exactly what was going to happen I began to think about how Rob and Cat were going to get out of there alive. When the music started playing, I still had hope they were going to escape somehow, which made the actual deaths that much more shocking - I think. Maybe it is just because I had hope up until the last second. I should learn better
