Game of Thrones Episode 3.02: “Dark Wings Dark Words”

[chavalah.livejournal.com]

This episode is named for a canon response that Catelyn has to a raven that she receives about Winterfell. The bad news was more definitive in the book than on the screen, but there was lots of bad news to go around in this eppy—death, torture, missing children, etc. Very little good news, except for the way that some women and others can manipulate an unfriendly world to their advantage, perhaps.

It’s similar to the last episode, largely slow and character-based, with some new folks in the Bran storyline, the Arya storyline, the Jaime/Brienne storyline, a hostage’s storyline and in King’s Landing in general. Didn’t get to see Dragonstone or Astapor at all; the time of being able to visit all places in all episodes is long gone.
