One of my few niggling little nit-picks with the show is that Ghost makes too much noise.
(Yes, I am rewatching the episode again for the third time since Sunday, why do you ask?)
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

Also? The sacked and burning Winterfell in the title sequence makes me sad.

SO SAD. Poor Winterfell.
I am still holding out hope for Starks Triumphant by the end of the series with Winterfell rebuilt. But since I know how little GRRM values karma, I also expect all of the Starks to die, probably even some obscure Stark cousins we won't meet until book 7.

Oh, and on the Tyrells, I'd rather just hold off until the weekend and then we can all talk about how awesome Diana Riggs is together.

Although Martin also has a habit of having his characters make declarative statements (or think declarative thoughts) just so they can later be proven to be SO VERY WRONG LIKE WRONG WRONG THINGS.
And every time I reread the books now, I am struck by a passage in the first book, in the chapter where Jon Snow gives Arya Needle, just before he leaves for the Wall and she leaves for King's Landing. Jon is ascending the stairs to Arya's room, and thinks to himself I will never climb these stairs again.
It rather jumps out and punches you in the face once you've seen it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
You get the sense that Margaery was *raised* to play the game, rather than having to figure it out from watching her father and brothers.
So much this. Homegirl is good. And the Queen of Thorns? Don't even get me started. I am very excited for things to get all Tyrell-y up in here.
And I've learned to expect the worst for pretty much every character from GRRM. Even when good things happen, they come at a tremendous price at some point. ASOIAF is seriously one of the bleakest fantasy series I think I've ever read. And now I want to see a fan video with I'm Only Happy When It Rains as the soundtrack.

It's sometimes a little hard to say who's the worst dad in Westeros - Tywin Lannister or Balon Greyjoy.

More or less everyone who isn't Ned Stark is at least in running for the title. Joffrey isn't entirely Cercei's fault....

Twice over, in fact.
