Explaining that the future of the Lannisters is at stake, Tywin presses Jaime to "be the man you were meant to be" as they prepare for battle. Ned confronts Cersei about the secrets that killed Jon Arryn. With the fate of the missing Benjen very much on his mind, Jon takes his Night's Watch vows, though not with the assignment he coveted. After Ser Jorah saves Daenerys from treachery, an enraged Drogo vows to lead the Dothraki where they've never gone before. An injured Robert takes pains to ensure an orderly transition at King's Landing. (Home Box Office)

Exceptional character work, brilliant pulling of strings and intrigue. One of the best episodes so far, if not the best. The ending (the coronation) has incredible intensity and an exemplary build-up of tension, while remaining completely unpredictable.

I had a great time again, the intrigues and manipulations are in full swing, no one trusts anyone and if they do, they regret it soon. That's exactly what I can handle. Moreover, the creators cast Charles Dance, also known as Lord Tywin Lannister, in the role of Vetinari... I mean, Charles Dance, and that could only please me.
