Well they have to leave the dwarf alive, right?

RIGHT?

He's a dwarf noble.

Guess what happens to those.

I'm just glad they're probably going to have a bigger budget going into it. 50M for 10 episodes was fairly limiting for them. Though, the person they have writing the Blackwater episode is cursing how difficult it is to stay in budget, so perhaps the problem still remains.

They could've at least explained the battles properly through character dialog. Also, where the hell is Roose Bolton?

I can't wait. It's apparently about the size of ASOS. ASOS was a massive book. Therefore, this is going to be a massive book.

I'm fairly certain that anyone who has read the books has been waiting for people's reactions to this week's episode. Myself included. It's basically the point where a number of people have simply put down the book.

I will say that if you stick around, you're likely in for more heartache. But it shits on the just and the unjust alike in this series, so the people you hate aren't wearing plot armor either. No one is wearing plot armor here. That tends to be one of the selling points for the books.
It was surprising, certainly, but I can't really say it was a bad thing. I can really see how the last part would be true.

 :( on what's to come, I'm sure, but it's interesting in its own right, not because it contains interesting or favorable characters dancing around for me.

As far as I remember, Roose Bolton is not important in any way until the second book, except as a name attached to one of Robb's generals.

Oh man guys, HBO keeps bringing the awesome.

Coming in 2013: American Gods, from the production company behind Band of Brothers, and with a 3-4 million per episode budget set for 6 10-12 ep seasons. I am so god damn excited.

Uhm, he ties up Tywin, which enables Robb to take out Jamie. And he does it commanding the North's main force, which he retreats in good order, rather than the completely inaccurate random sacrifice of 2000 men that we had in the show. He might really come into his own 2nd book, but if you don't introduce him in the 1st his side flipping is out of context and doesn't mean much to the viewers. It's like not introducing Joffrey until he cuts off Ned's head.
