Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDoreah says she has seen a man who can change his face like a man changes his clothes. This is a reference to the Faceless Men, the assassin guild from Braavos.
- GoofsKnights fully armored for jousting weighed close to 200 kg (400 lbs). A man the size of Gregor "the Mountain" Clegane would weigh even more than that. The horses shown in the tournament would simply collapse under such weight. Armored knights (e.g. in Europe) used MUCH larger horses.
- Quotes
[Tyrion gives Bran a drawing of saddle which will enable him to ride a horse]
Bran Stark: Will I really be able to ride?
Tyrion Lannister: [nods] You will. On horseback you will be as tall as any of them.
Robb Stark: [suspiciously] Is this some kind of trick? Why do you want to help him?
Tyrion Lannister: I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards and broken things.
- Crazy creditsThe sun tells an important part of the series back story, on its panels. It does so in three segments. First, as the credits start up, the sun depicts how the Targaryens and their dragons conquered Westeros. The second time the sun is shown, a dragon is depicted in a mortal struggle with 3 other animals: The Stag, the Lion and the Wolf. It is a very literal way to show how Robert Beratheon and Ned Stark rebelled, with Tywin Lannister reluctantly supporting them, in the end. Finally, the third time the sun is shown, before the series title enter the scene, a lion (among other animals) is shown "kneeling" to a triumphant Stag. Just as Robert was crowned King after winning the war.

Featured review
The Pieces of the Puzzle Are Being Set In Place
1st season, 4th episode. Wonderful - highly interesting. The puzzle pieces are being set in place - some things are being cleared up or almost cleared up by the end of this one. I've already picked my favorite characters, I've picked my most hated characters and there are only a handful left that I'm unsure about.
Some great scenes between the brother and sister: Daenerys & Viserys Targaryen. I'm glad to see Daenerys finally stand up to Viserys - but I'm still unsure what to make of Daenerys.
Loving Jon Snow more and more with each episode - and his new friend Sam.
My heart still goes out to The Starks over what Cersei & Jamie Lannister did to Bran. And I hate that Tyrion is being blamed - but should be cleared up by the next episode.
9.5/10
