I'm really starting to dislike the changes to Cat's character. She's got all the steel out of her, nor did she feel as intense and obsessed about Bran. Definite improvement during the attack and right after though.

I do like the change in Cersei. She's probably bullshitting somehow (I hope the eventual explanation for her black haired dead child will make good sense) but I love that she's able to bullshit that well to Cat.

The Lannisters continue being awesome. Daenarys slightly less so - though hot Lesbian-y scene, which is an improvement on the Lesbian-y scenes from the books so yay?.

Jon Snow looks like an utter twat to me (well not when he's interacting with Arya, but with Tyrions? meeeeeh.) I mean, I was never a huge fan of him, but at least I used to see him as a decent enough character.

Sandor is also being awesome. ♥ Arya is GREAT. Sadly, I'm really starting to think the actress for Sansa doesn't work at all. She's just not convincing enough and lacks presence on the screen.

Oh, and spoilery-from-the-books comment >I'm glad and amused to see I've already seen one watcher of the series who hasn't read the book who is speculating that Jon Snow is Lyanna Stark's son :D

Otherwise the storytelling still feel a bit too stumbling, but is getting somewhere. Also the music of the OP is really growing on me :D

I definitely like the changes/added scenes for Cersei. She seems more subtle and competent and stuff. But definitely agreed on the changes to Cat's character being all of the annoying variety -- so many things that make her interesting have been blunted or deleted in some way.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Cersei's development - even in the books she was relatively more subtle and competent than later on.
