Slynt was also in on Joffrey's plan to kill Ned instead of showing mercy, and he helped hold Ned down to have his head chopped off. So it's a nice bit of revenge for Jon to kill his ass just like Ned taught him to do. Got the official Stannis nod of approval as well.
My favorite line of the night was when that skinny waif chick whacked Arya and Arya called her a "****"...cracked me up!
Cersei vs. Margery looks like it will be a fun showdown. So far, Cersei is losing, but I'm sure she will have to do something about that pretty quick.
Looking forward to seeing what happens with Sansa and Ramsey. They are not following the books on that whole storyline, so keeps everyone wondering what will happen.
What will Jorah do with Tyrion???

Yeah, Jon chopping off Slynt's head was good. And the damned writers made us all think he wasn't going to do it. I didn't really understand what they were getting at with Thorne blocking the way and then getting out of it. I'm not sure if that was a show of support for Jon or him just being a pain in the ass for a bit. Anyway, well done.
The conversation Davos had with Jon was damn compelling television. I don't know what will happen, but that whole dialogue was outstanding.
As far as Arya, they need to get that storyline moving. I understand what they are trying to do, but it's just ****ing weird. As much as I like a man and the riddles he spits out, the story line is just ****ing weird at the moment.
Cersi vs. Margery is great shit. It's like watching 2 master chess players. You don't know what the **** they're doing, but you're pretty sure it's over your head. In other news, it's been a hell of a long time since Cersi has been nice. Also I was totally surprised by the way she handled the sparrow.
The Sansa storyline is interesting. I didn't really see it coming but it is pretty awesome to think about what is going to happen. Roose's predicament is pretty interesting also, especially with his ****ing crazy assed kid ****ing shit up. They worked the Theon angle nicely too. That will be interesting to watch. As well as the "North Remembers" comment. Nice. Well ****ing done.
I saw the Jorah thing coming from a mile away, but it is interesting to see it all play out..
