The latest episode? Ep 4? Could well be my favourite one to date.
I had mentioned it in the IRC viewing party over the weekend that a read an early review, where it had said that people may well be turned off GoT by what they saw in this episode. And they were right, 3 scenes in particular made some uncomfortable viewing.
- Joffrey's 'fetish'
- The amputation of the soldiers foot. The sounds of the saw going to work..
- And what happens if you combine a rat and a bucket with some fire
Some great moments in this too, Catelyn and Littlefinger's scene, Daenerys 'releasing the dragon', Tyrion bitchslapping down Lancel with words alone. Some great lines too like Bronn "There's no cure for being a cunt." for being so obvious and Renly "Is he a ham?" for being so subtle.
And the new actor for the Mountain looks the part. He's got a scary ass voice too.
