Second episode of Game of Thrones was solid, even if it was mostly just lead-up to the next episode (which is kind of inevitable, I guess). I'll post my thoughts in a spoiler tag.
Rodrik being alive was a nice twist, even if him surviving was a little ridiculous. You'd think someone would have checked to make sure he was dead before they loaded his body onto the cart and sent him back to the North. Further, him actually surviving that trip with grievous injuries and no food or water is equally ridiculous. Still, it's a game and they needed someone to be playable at the Forrester stronghold.
I really have no idea where the story with Asher is going, but I have to assume he'll met Dany at some point. He didn't really have much to do in this episode. It kind of just introduced him and his lady friend and then they decided to depart for Meereen.
I want to replay the episode to somehow salvage my engagement to that other Northern chick. The fact that it's listed at the end makes me assume that you can convince her to still be pledged to Rodrik, and I have to imagine that could have a later impact. I also will definitely not kiss Lord Whitehall's ring if I replay the episode. I can't wait to kill that guy at some point.
I'm also not sure if tossing the knife Mira used to kill the Lannister guard was the right decision, or if I should have forged that letter from Margaery. If I replay the episode, I might do both differently as well.
