Dany and her exhausted khalasar arrive at the gates of Qarth, a prosperous city with strong walls and rulers who greet her outside them. Tyrion coerces a queen's man into being his eyes and ears. Arya and Gendry are taken to Harrenhal, where their lives rest in the hands of "The Mountain," Gregor Clegane. Davos must revert to his old ways and smuggle Melisandre into a secret cove.

The creators opened the fourth episode with a battle that was truly epic, it's just a shame they didn't show it to me. It used to be funny, but now I no longer laugh. Daenerys surprised us, in the fourth episode she finally crossed the desert and HBO soft porn apparently transformed into sadomasochism. I was pleased with the sophisticated torture, Tyrion's speeches, and Tywin's evaluation of the situation.

This episode plays on a darker note. The tug-of-war for the royal throne between the brothers, Tyrion's pulling of strings around the queen, the lavish desert city and the final grim surprise in the bay. Unfortunately, so far these are rather hints, which are probably meant to seduce the viewer into watching more episodes. It's safe to assume we'll have something to look forward to in a few episodes. Again, another skipped/cut battle – this is becoming a trend that I firmly hope will not continue.
