I was surprised to see how quickly Catelyn was able to rally people against Tyrion with a simple accusation with little to no opposition considering who he is. Next week's preview looked really good too and showed off a lot of action so I'm looking forward to it and the fall out from Catelyn's rash decision.
She's the daughter of their liege lord. They're knights basically sworn to come to her father's call in times of need. She has more than a little sway over them, so I didn't find that odd at all. Especially when you look at the guy she's accusing...
I mean,
nobody likes the Lannisters (they're the rich snobs of Westeros) and
nobody likes the Imp. Though the audience likes him, I think they've made it clear that he's whispered, pointed at and considered a little monster by the common folk.
Anyways, it was nice to see Ghost got some screen time tonight. I was a bit shocked by Sam (the fat kid in Jon's scenes), since for YEARS I've been imagining him in my head as Ramus from Lunar;
Anyways, all of this episode's scenes were handled well and there were quite a few scenes that did not appear in the books added to clear things up for viewers. The scene with Viserys in the tub and Littlefinger's conversation with Sansa during the tournement were all things pulled from other places in the books. Tyrion and Theon's conversation was new as well and I'm glad to see both characters getting extra development (since Theon has had next to none thus far). The stuff they were discussing is stuff that was casually mentioned in the first few chapters of the book.
So, the point is, they ARE going to lengths to get some of the very bookish first-person-telling stuff worked into the very much third-person presentation of the show.
Which keeps getting better and better, by the way.
