Good second episode, but Arya getting kinna annoying now.
So far this season has been much better than the last.
Her and Sanza growing up fast... yuh could see it in their faces and bodies. Whereas last two seasons Arya was seen as precocious and cute, the teenage version seems more audacious and naive... and I think that is what strikes us as annoying. As for the episode, I thought it was dry... too much drama and not enough action. The story in the North once upon a time promised to propel the series... now like it holding it back. They dragging it out too long.
I find this episode was a good build-up for the next one - especially if you haven't read the books. I'm excited to see what's going to happen with Jamie Lannister.
And talk about growing up - yuh see Bran?!
And I also like the introduction of the brother and sister - I need to read up on them a bit.
And as for the North saga - I think this series will always struggle with juggling so many different storylines - that was the downfall of the second season, I think - but so far it seems to be better this season.
