After the somewhat weak episode last week, It looked like episode 3; what is dead may never die, would be the the strongest episode of the first half of the season. However the ghost of Harrenhal proves that wrong - covering every storyline except Robb and Jaime's and greatly pushing the plot forward. The Jaqen three death scenes were fantastic, as were the Tyrion kings landing scenes. The only problems i can find with it is that Renly's death was not as shocking as in the books and the tickler died instead of wheeze - cutting out his awesome death scene in book 3. This is tiny nit picking though. The story was exciting, the politics was interesting and the hints of what is to come make as always the wait to next week excruciating. Again the acting was absolutely phenomenal from everyone involved. The gold stars go this week to Jerome Flynn, Tom Wlaschiha and Gwendoline Christie as Bronn, Jaqen and Brienne who all seem like they've made the characters literally jump out of the book into reality. The stage has been set up for everything to kick-off in the second half of the season. An exciting end to the first half to the second season!
