After a dull season premiere this episode wastes no time in setting the pieces up. First up we get to see the young Ned Stark and the much talked about character, the young and beautiful Lyanna Stark. However the most surprising thing is Hodor was once a normal boy and he can talk!! Bran's visions are going to be vital in the forthcoming episodes as it takes us back to the past and there are so many fan theories that are waiting for redemption.
Castle Black story progresses quite well too. The wild-lings come to the rescue of Ser Davos and co and the scene cuts just as we begin to wonder 'is this the episode where John comes back?' The melodrama continues at the Kings Landing. The anticipated High Sparrow vs Jamie Lannister ends as a stale mate as they delay the 'spilling of blood'. Tyrion is at his witty best and brings some laughs as well as he begins his Dance with the Dragons. "Don't eat the HELP". Interestingly Danny doesn't have screen time in this episode.
In the north Ramsey gives a run for money to Joffrey as the most hated character in GoT. His rise as the Lord of the North is cruel, but believe me his fall would be beautiful. Euron Greyjoy returns with vengeance. And we'll have a new head at Pyke.
And now finally to the worst kept secret in the history of television shows. We all knew this was coming, or at least hoped this'll happen. JOHN SNOW IS BACK and I can't hide my happiness :)
