I thought about reading the books as well, but then I decided not to. I don't want to spoil myself and I also don't want to constantly compare the show and the books. I love the show as it is and I don't want to mess with my perception of it. :)
The episode was epic. ♥ I loved the juxtaposition of Rob granting mercy to the Lannister spy while Jeoffrey refused to show mercy for Ned. I was also impressed by Sansa's plead for Ned. I didn't expect her to stand up for her father.
And finally we learn more about the White Walkers! I am so excited about that. The situation seems impossibly tense - with the Lannisters and the Starks at war, the Dothraki moving forward to fight a war against the Lannisters and the White Walkers threatening the kingdom from beyond the wall. There will be a bloodbath, surely!
