    Roose will become a very important character before this season is over, and continuing on in the story line... so get used to him. ;)

    I never noticed him too much before Sunday's episode, but that ugly scour on his face fits perfectly with his character...

    Is his son gonna be in the show this season? I'm really looking forward to how they do the Ramsay and Theon story.

    I don't know who you're cable provider is, but AT&T has been offering a 3-month preview of HBO all during the month of March... I signed up for it literally hours before GoT started, so I should be able to catch the entire season, live, for free.... 8-)

    Normally I just torrent it.... but I figured, why not?

    I wouldn't pay 2.99 a pop for an episode.

    A 1.99, maybe... but knowing I could torrent it for free, probably not.

    $1 is the right price for me. That's about what I'd be willing to pay, considering how much I already pay for cable.

    Keep in mind, you're talking to someone who still buys CD's... however I refuse to buy anything that's priced higher than $10/disc. That's what I feel the market price should be for this stuff, and I'm sticking to it... I will pay more for my vinyl... and very much appreciate it when they throw in a free digital download code... if they don't, i'll hit a torrent website, as I've already paid for the music once, not doing it a second time.

    This. If it were available to download the same day as the live ep airs for .99cents via amazon or google play or hell even itunes I would be all over it like white on rice. I just checked my cable provider's website (Time Warner Cable) and they advertise HBO for $15.95/month which probably translates into almost $20. Considering I only watch GoT and The Newsroom, that would be just a HUGE waste of money for me. Legally dling episodes at $1 a piece, however - not too bad, especially if it becomes like a social gathering with various friends who watch the show meeting up at so-and-so's house etc etc. Never gonna happen though. Because making the episode available before the live airing would be seen as unfair (or whatever) to HBO Subscribers, while putting the episode up the next day wouldn't generate as many sales because people would just download from torrents - because why wait until the next morning when you can torrent an hour after air for free?

    Yes. I'm fairly sure he will be.

    I think that he may be the "excellent hunter" Roose was talking about? Maybe although maybe not in Season two he mentions his Bastard back at the dreadfort and sending him to winterfell to help with the situation.

    Great episode. A couple of questions:

    Can someone tell me who's men were torturing Theon? Starks?

    What is the name of the wog kid/sister that meets Bran and tells him that he is a wog. It's cool to finally know whats fully going on with his ability?

    Also, a refresher on The Brotherhood without Banners?

    Theon is being held by Ramsay Snow, they mentioned him last season. He is Roose Boltons bastard.
    Jojen and meera reed are with Bran now. They are loyal to the Starks.
    The brotherhood will be explained more soon, I don't want to spoil it just yet.

    Great episode, not much on the action yet. Glad to see the wolves.

    Awesome ep! They're making some slight changes from the books but probably just to move the show on. So awed me to finally have the Reeds!!!!

    So happy GOT is back, especially since The Walking Dead ended. Aria seems to be in trouble now. Why wouldnt she put her hand up to cover her face or look the direction while walking by Dog? Rhetorical question but I just hate the lack of common sense in shows and movies sometimes.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    Very happy with last night. So much stuff happened!

    Olenna the Queen of Thorns is perfect. The scenes with Maegry and Joffrey are awesome. You get to see a little more how demented he is. I like the tug of power between his mom and future wife for his control.

    The reeds were fantastic. I really liked them mentioing Howland Reed crying when he heard about Ned.

    The fight with jamie and brienne was great!

    Theon.... oh Theon i have not been looking forward to this. I hope HBO dials it back. Some of the scenes last night were hard to watch. I hate what theon did to the Starks but torture sucks

    Oddly the Arya stuff was my least favorite not that it was bad it just did not do much for me and i liked that part of the book. Love the Brotherhood

    North of the wall "Tarly i command you not to die" Mormont is the best!
