There are two good things about this episode. First the the friendship that was forging between Jon Snow and Sam. He has taken it upon himself to be Sam's protector from the others who get pleasure out of humiliating and hurting him for no reason other than that he is fat and I guess you could say slow/dumb. That's not what he is, but I think that's how he is perceived.

The other cool thing about this episode was the ending. Not much really went down for most of the episode, but the ending did save it and left a nice cliffhanger when Lady Stark / Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) is able to call allegiance of those around her to arrest Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) who she is convinced had a hand in the attempted murder of her son Bran.

A little side note, there were a couple of actors in Game Of Thrones that I recognized but I couldn't place their face. I knew them from another show. But which one? And then it dawned on me where I knew them from. Actually from the same series. Both Josef Altin and Michelle Fairley were in Misfits.
