But Forell taking on the guards was really well done. Good thing they didn't show him getting killed, because who knows...?

I didn't expect to like Robb this much. Wasn't a big fan of him in the books, especially later on, but he was cool here.

As much as I like big battle scenes, I somehow liked how this episode was dancing around showing any, yet managed to raise excitement. The tents and armies looked great. I expected the Greatjon to be a much bigger man, but his behavior made up for it.

Again it was nice to see Drogo do something, speak and now even kick ass.

The only complaint I have is probably that Ned was just laying there and they just dragged it on to put it into episode 9.
Still, they know what they're doing and I am pretty sure the next two episodes will rip people's hearts out.
