Stop being a bystander, do you hear me? Stop running. You've been a bystander to tragedy from the day they executed your father. You sit alone in a darkened room mourning their fates. Terrible things happen to your family and you weep. Littlefinger is a slime ball, but he is most certainly teaching her. I bet she regretted turning Brienne away when she learned the truth. Nothing good can come from Sansa being married off to the monstrous Ramsay Bolton. Though I probably should have guessed it, I had no idea what Littlefinger's ultimate plan was. She was bringing her A game, that's for sure. It irritated me to hear Margaery call Cersei mother and offer her wine, imagine how the Queen Mother felt. Her confrontation with Margaery was intense. Not that Cersei's not doing some manipulating of her own, but who really has the kid's attention at the moment? When Tommen mentioned Casterly Rock, Cersei understood exactly what was going on. : I want to know everything there is to know about King Tommen, first of his name.You know that, don't you? You mustn't feel guilty. Margaery: I understand, but it's not your fault. I've married the most beautiful woman in the world. Does Queen Margaery sound strange to you? Margaery: I want to know everything there is to know about King Tommen, first of his name. Margaery is a pro, she's brilliant at manipulating kings. What do you expect from a twelve year old? Poor Tommen, I hope his death is quick and painless, unlike Joffrey's. I loved the way he kept asking if he hurt his new Queen and wore her out. However, the wedding night was a different story. In King's Landing, Tommen and Margaery's wedding was fairly uneventful, which is a good thing in Westeros. At least shedding Ary's things was a first step. She's impatient and needs to pay her dues. Miyagi teaching the Karate Kid without him realizing it. Arya might not know it yet, but this is clearly a case of Mr. Rounding off the visual treats are a few ocean-view scenes set in the Mediterranean-inspired city of Pentos that had me physically yearning for a trip to sunnier climes.Jaqen H'ghar continued to speak in riddles, and I've got say I'd be pretty annoyed sweeping the floor for days as well. There's one entirely CGI set-piece in the desert city of Meereen that is among the most impressive in the show's history. Sets and backdrops are gorgeous, lusciously detailed and looking better than ever, with the notable exception of the top of The Wall, which still looks like a fibreglass Santa's grotto. On the technical side, this episode is a real treat for the eyes. Worry not - he still gets all the best lines. Episode one sees Tyrion drowning his sorrows. It's a surprising relief to have something to root for again. Tyrion's new trajectory, having fled Westeros in a tiny crate, and Stannis Baratheon's martial ambitions after smashing the Wilding host in the North, stir up the possibility of power shifts that could be positive for the long-suffering denizens of George R. The episode's opening scene features the show's first ever flashback, while new story threads hint at something that's been sorely absent from "Thrones" since the infamous Red Wedding in Season 3 - hope.

That's not to say there's nothing new here. One early scene could be a microcosym of the entire show, featuring full-frontal nudity, then a surprisingly tender moment that's followed by brutal murder, all in the space of 30 seconds. Indeed, this episode shows that the makers of "Game of Thrones" know exactly what's worked so far and behaves accordingly. These establishing vignettes feel very familiar, but are conducted here with a level of expertise that means you're unlikely to notice how much scene-setting is going on.
