Aside from showcasing Cersei's manipulation, it also foreshadows future revelations in the incest plot (note her description of the child she lost).Lena Headey is great as Cerci although I felt the conversation she had with Cat in last nights episode was an odd choice. It didn't really serve to make me like her more, and knowing what I do of the story it really makes 0 sense to take up screen time with it.
Great episode, with no letup in tension. One big difference ishow Ned Stark isn't that central to the story. I think if you're a causal viewer you kind of can feel he's gonna ... you know. In the book, that part took me by surprise and made me go WTF???

Dinklage as Tyrion is so spot on, I can't even imagine someone else in that role.
Agreed, incredibly good. Not surprising, in that Dinklage is an amazing actor: when I first encountered him in The Station Agent I was blown away.
