I might be a little bit confused, but Jon Snow was very convincing during his conversation with the King Beyond the Wall. He sounded as if he really would fight with them although I thought it started as a ruse to save his life. If there becomes a need to choose between his brothers on The Wall and the Wildings, I think Jon will use his brothers.

Tyrion – first permit me to say in spite of the way the names are listed above, Peter Dinklage is listed first on the credits for the episodes. I admire the way Tyrion approached his father with dignity and requested his birthright. He did everything right, but Tywin used every excuse he could conjure in order to deny him. It seems to me that Tywin's primary reason for hating Tyrion is that his imperfection is an embarrassment to the family. Tyrion’s words did gain him some return for his labors but I don’t know what that is yet.

Littlefinger has been very successful in his endeavors and now he continues to offer assistance to Sansa. His aide said to not trust him with Sansa. I hope she does not wind up in one of his brothels or sold to a foreign zillionaire.

Joeffrey’s fiancée appears to be naïve, but she is also very clever in getting what she wants. I can imagine Cersei becoming jealous of her.

Daenerys is getting closer to her goal of obtaining an army. The man she was bargaining with is more heartless than Joeffrey. I say more heartless because he does not seem insane; he has no respect for human dignity or life. Too bad one of the dragons cannot toast him as they leave.

I am just now getting to watch this episode tonight, although I don't think I will get to the whole thing before I sleep. Will post more as I get caught up.
