1.05 Game of Thrones - The Wolf and the Lion

Synopsis:

Incensed over news of Daenerys’ alliance with the Dothraki, Robert orders a preemptive strike on the Targaryens that drives a wedge in his relationship with Ned. A captive Tyrion helps Catelyn, but receives a cold reception at the Eyrie from her sister, John Arryn’s widow Lysa. Sansa is charmed by the dashing Ser Loras Tyrell, aka the Knight of Flowers. Arya overhears a plot against her father.

Directed by Brian Kirk who also did episodes 3 and 4.

That's good news, as I think episodes 3 & 4 have been the best so far.

Though he's a bit different than I pictured from the books, I am looking forward to seeing Badass Bronn in action against the hill tribes....and the rest of the tournament!

Great episode! Finally! Swordplay! Looks like it's starting to get a bit hardcore.
Now we see why Renly was so underwhelming.

Oh Jory, you could not have known, but it was the Kingslayer that you engaged.

It was such an awesome episode.

Re: 1.05 Game of Thrones - The Wolf and the Lion

Very interesting episode. I did not remember from the books (but thought they were well done nevertheless) the following conversations between:
- Varys and Littlefinger
- Loras and Renly
- Robert and Cersei; and
- Theon and Roz.

I liked R & C's the best.

Jaime's fighting ability, actually that entire scene, won me over. He did a GREAT job. I knew it was coming and I was sort of in shock.

Re: 1.05 Game of Thrones - The Wolf and the Lion

This episode rocked all the others!

The pace was perfect.

The showing of the scheming in King's Landing was awesome.

The Clegane brothers hacking at each other and the Ned/Jaime encounter ended it perfectly. I love Jaime!

The added scenes really developed the characters well, especially Theon and Renly (their portrayal the source of some complaints).

The Eyrie was great and just like I pictured it. Lysa and little Robert well played. The feeling of madness, confusion and urgency really good in that scene.

Littefinger and Varys together in the throne room...need I say more.

BFS!!!!!!!!

The dragon skull!!!
