Game of Thrones Episode 2.06: “The Old Gods and the New”

[chavalah.livejournal.com]

This is an episode where things start to go off the rails some from canon, particularly in the Qarth and Harrenhal storylines, but even a little bit beyond the wall and with the Starks. (We do get a canonical dramatic twist at Winterfell, however.) In general, I feel iffy, at best, about the changes, particularly those that brush up against modern sitcom tropes. :P But there’s one thing in King’s Landing involving Sansa that I actually appreciate, unlike most of her fans.

Lots of choices and consequences this episode, and occasional inner reflection. Those folks seem to do better than those who don’t.
