All Tyrion scenes were my top favorite moments, Peter Dinklage just can't stop with his brilliance.

And Dany trying to feed her bb Drogon. And Shae enjoying the "vibe" of the city (I know it's a failboat character to love but the actress just does it for me!). I'm glad that we can finally see how little control over the circumstances Cersei has - by the way, why does everyone assume that Joff ordered to kill Robert's bastards? It was Cersei in the books.

I loved the baby dragon scene.

I felt Cersei received a very "mixed-message" sort of treatment in the epi. She flexed her power over Baelish but otherwise she seemed pretty ineffectual and not the strong if wildly reckless manipulator she is in the books

I think that the writers are trying to make Cersei into a more sympathetic character than she turned out to be in the books. I guess I don't mind it because the sex=punishment message in her walk of shame in ADwD didn't go down too well with me. I would be okay with her being rewritten into a strong female antagonist who is somewhat more of a victim of the powerful men in her life than her book counterpart. Joffrey's insanity was dialed to 11 and I was lovingggg it.

The Lannisters are stealing the show so far.
