Storyline

After the attempted assassination of young Bran, Catelyn leaves for King's Landing to see her husband, convinced that the Lannisters were behind the attempt. On arrival, she is met by a former beau, Petyr Baelish, who tells her that the knife used in the attack on Bran was his - until he lost it in a wager to Tyrion Lannister a year ago. When presented with the evidence, Ned isn't convinced. He's kept busy as the King's Hand and is shocked at King Robert's spendthrift ways. Cersei tells her son Joffrey that when he is King, he can do anything he wants. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys begins to act like a queen and has a confrontation with her brother who makes it clear that he is in charge. She also realizes she is pregnant. At the wall, Ned's illegitimate son Jon Snow undergoes training to become a member of the Night's Watch. Written by garykmcd

Trivia

Old Nan mentions Ser Duncan the Tall, the protagonist of the "Tales of Dunk and Egg" series written by George R.R. Martin, which takes place about ninety years before the events of "A Song of Ice and Fire" series (on which the TV show is based). See more »

Goofs

All characters at the Wall wear elaborate furs. However, all northern people know that it's the head you should protect most, but no one is wearing any kind of hats. Also, there are very few beards - the best face protection against strong winds. See more »

Quotes

Eddard Stark: Handsome armor. Not a scratch on it.
Jaime Lannister: I know. People have been swinging at me for years and they always seem to miss.
Eddard Stark: Chosen your opponents wisely, then.
Jaime Lannister: I have a knack for it.

I love Syrio
15 May 2011 | by Threepwood_LivesSee all my reviews

Reviews Of Unusual Size! Re: Jon tries to adjust to life on the wall, Tyrion Pees, Arya practices, Richard drinks, the Lannister's scheme and Ned tries to adjust to life in the King's court.

Outstanding: This was a pretty enjoyable episode, considering it was mostly about people wandering around and getting used to the new status quo. Then Syrio, Arya's "Dancing" instructor showed up and it became the best thing ever.

Unacceptable: There might have been something I disliked, but the last scene wiped it away.

Summary: Seriously, Syrio is so awesome, I can't stand it. He was in it for like.... 5 minutes, tops and he's my favorite character. The scenes on the wall were really great too, the way Tyrion subtly helps Jon. Man, I love the casting in this show.

4/5
