Here’s this week’s episode.

NO SPOILERS. Don’t hint at them, no segues. If new readers request a spoiler… PM them? Not sure how that’s going to work. Thoughts on that?

Last week we saw Tyrion slap the shit out of Joffrey, does the rest even matter? _goes to youtube it again_

Ok, fine. Bran lives!Tyrion makes crytic remarks to Cersei and Jamie at breakfast and indicates he’s going north to see the Wall with Jon. Catelyn, Robb, and Rickon stay at Winterfell while Ned, Sansa, Arya, and the King’s entourage head south to the capital. An assassin tries to kill Bran and the direwolf rips his neck open. Dany gets some sex lessons and learns to take command of at least some part of her marriage. Arya and the butcher’s boy play swords when Joffrey and Sansa happen upon them. Joffrey shows he’s a douche again, Nymeria rips his arm up and then Arya runs away. There’s a “trial” where Cersei demands Lady be killed since Nymeria can’t be found. Ned does the honors and Bran wakes up.

Here we go.
