Foundation for an epic season!

Warning: Spoilers
It's always hard to follow up an awesome episode...especially if Joffrey dies at the end of it. This one was just as good.

It was a nice to see Littlefinger for the first time this season. Funny how he was completely out of the picture and yet made plans to rescue Sansa long before the wedding( Yes rings a bell now, doesn't it? )

Lord Tywin seems happy that he can finally rule the kingdom and teach Tommen how to be King, something he missed out on with Joffrey(Would've been hilarious to see him describe how to consummate a marriage)

The wildlings seem menacing since the introduction of the Magnar of Thenn. Can't wait to see how the Rangers defend Castle Black against the inevitable attack.

Oberyn Martell looks every bit prepared for payback. Him facing the Mountain , now that's something to look forward to.

Arya & the Hound are awesome together, like usual. Hound is probably the most honest and straightforward character in the show. His methods despite being harsh, stand true to the saying "Survival of the fittest " ( My favorite character )

Tyrion/ Pod sequence was perhaps the most touching one in this episode. One almost forgets how much empathy Tyrion has even though that's what gets him in trouble more often than not. Knowing Tyrion, a fortnight is NOT all he's got.

The landscape of Meereen was stunning and lived up to the hype. Daenarys seems poised in her quest and i quite liked the finishing touch with the broken chains.

Overall, this episode sets up really well for what should be a chaotic,gripping and intense second half of the season.
