The episode, Lord Snow, starts with establishing the politics and socioeconomic shit that seemed needy of Ned's stern and Northern leadership. Fortunately, they dropped it halfway because we don't really care about that shit do we?
Anyway, for an episode of which is titled from the show's character 'Jon Snow', I feel like he didn't get the 'focus' he deserves. The episode was stagnant with the characters just wandering around conspiring, exchanging stories and building intrigues.
It may be a good break to the pace of the first two episodes but midway I wished for frights. There were only a few memorable scenes in this episode, for example, Syrio Forel's dance, Tyrion standing on top of the wall pissing off on the edge of the world as promised and that creepy sounding old lady who told Bran about frozen kings and women smothering their babies.
I don't mean to nitpick but I really think the script needs a bit more polishing. Some lines just sounded too poetic for my taste, it was as though they were directly torn from the book. If they keep it like that Game of Thrones would probably feel like a play of intonations than swords. Well, given I'm three seasons behind, I can only hope.
Also, there's something I forgot to include on my previous review. Luckily, it was given light on this episode so I'll just discuss it here.The petty conflict at the Kingsroad took two lives and at the end of it, I felt a sense of heartbreak to the unforgiving state of their justice system. Even if Sansa did tell the truth it won't matter because in a game of thrones and like what the Queen said to his son, "The truth will be what you make it." 2.5/5
