This week’s scene of the week was too easy to pick…nothing is better than watching that little putz Joffrey get abused and this scene was especially satisfying because he got both humiliated and put in his place in quick succession.

There were a lot of scenes that could have qualified for scene of the week from ‘The Ghost of Harrenhal’…Tyrion’s continued tormenting of his cousin Lancel and working to diffuse his sister’s plot (or was it a scheme?) to use wildfire against Stannis’ armies; Dany’s adventures in Qarth; Stannis and the Onion Knight’s deeply honest conversation about Melisandre; or Arya’s continuing story (which had the line of the week uttered by such a cute little girl, “Anyone can be killed”) that saw her going into a partnership of sorts with Jaqen H’ghar that bore immediate fruit while having more than a little To Catch a Predator vibe going on as far as I was concerned.
But the scene that stood out the most for me happened at the beginning of the episode.

After rutting around like pigs on his enlarged Stratego game board, Stannis and Melisandre’s love child has decided it’s time for him (or her) to make an appearance. And what an appearance it was! Stannis ordered Davod to ferry Melisandre to some caves for an untold reason which annoyed the Onion Knight to no end considering he is not the Red Woman’s biggest fan. But Davos got a lot more than he was expecting when Mel dropped trou, got into birthing position and delivered her shadow baby. This thing was really creepy too…it crawled out of her cookie full grown! I guess every party of Melisandre is magic, even her hoo-hoo.
On the one hand I am psyched at even more magic happenings popping up on the show but on the other hand, this turn of events doesn’t have me feeling too good about Renly’s future.

Poor, Yoren…he puts himself out there to protect a couple of wayward children of dead men (in Gendry and Arya) and what does he get for his troubles? Shot with a crossbow and skewered by a broad sword. It doesn’t pay to be nice in Westeros. I’m gonna miss the crusty old soldier. he was good for some seriously funny lines and how he dealt with everyone in the same gruff manner was always something I looked forward to on GoT.

I love when characters I really like have an extended scene together and since Tyrion is my absolute favorite GoT character and Varys is in my top 5, I was ecstatic watching their civil yet veiled sparring session. When Tyrion walked into his room and saw Varys sitting there having a pleasant chat with Shae you could just see the rage boiling up in him. He realizes that Varys traffics in information and now the eunuch had info on him that could (and most likely will) be used as a weapon against him sometime in the future. And the way the scene ended with Tyrion making sure Varys knew that he was not dealing with someone like Ned Stark who was totally out of his element in the cutthroat, shark infested waters of the Small Council and Varys reminding Tyrion that no matter what upheaval occurs within the kingdom The Spider always survives. Great scene and I can’t wait to see them go at it again.

Jaime Lannister is a cocky bastard. He’s handsome, filthy rich, one of the best swordsman in all of Westeros and could have his pick of pretty much any woman in all the lands (so of course he chooses his twin sister…gross!). So even while chained up as a prisoner of Robb Stark, Jaime still treats Robb like he is a little boy playing at being a leader. That bravado took a hit though once Robb brought in his dire wolf Grey Wind to spend some quality time with The Kingslayer

It is almost April but Winter is coming!!! The second season of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES debuts on April 1st and I am more excited than a little kid on Christmas Eve. I love this dense, morally gray series and have been jonesing for new episodes since two seconds after the first season ended. With that in mind I thought I’d put together a list of characters that went to the Other Side during Season One. So hurry up and click on through….Winter’s coming and you don’t want to be left out in the cold!
