Review:

Okay …. I’m not able to decide which episode is better Garden of Bones or This.
What an exciting episode!!! A Man Without honour is a wonderful episode.
It’s an apt title also. Many changes have been made. Some things from A Storm of Swords have been addressed here. Actually. Come to think of it, most of this episode didn’t happen in the book. But still, it is a pretty kick-ass episode.
First of all, Arya and Tywin’s budding relationship reaches new heights when he gives her his food to eat. And that too at the same table on which he eats. He talks to her telling her about Targaryens and other stuff. But still she wants to kill him. He also admits it that he likes talking to her. He also figures out that she isn’t actually a stone masons daughter as she says she is. But she comes up with a lie.
Now Jon and Yggritte. They make such an awesome couple. She also says my favourite Yggritte line: “You know nothing Jon Snow”. But the end of his scene was not how it happens in the book. Where is Qhorin Halfhand????
Bran and Rickon escape!!! And Theon makes some funny comments about that. But he is a terrible fighter. He can’t kick anyone properly. They also sped through the scene where Bran and Rickon escape.
DAENERYS!! Ohhh poor Daenerys! I feel so sad for you. You loose you’re dragons. And Pyat Pree has it… When Ser Jorah meets that crazy metal faced woman, she asks him if he is going to betray her again. She is also invited to meet the Thirteen.. And Pyat Pree invites her to the House of the Undying Ones to get her dragons. He then, surprisingly, reveals that some deal was made to have a king of Qarth. And he than kills the remaining Thirteen except Xaro Xoan Daxos. She then runs away. Okay I have one question: where are they going with this? This did not happen in the book. So I’m really curious to see where goes.
Who is Lady Talisa?? Is she Jeyene? She is some new addition who isn’t in the book. She meets with Robb who is clearly in love with her and he takes he to buys some more supplies. And he disappears for the rest of the episodes.
Jaimie escapes from his cell, which also doesn’t happen in the book. And though he is caught again. And Cat comes to his rescue. He is really a despicable fellow. How dare he says such things about Cat and Ned!! Now I feel like slaying the king slayer. Her scene ends with her taking Brienne’s Sword and she brings it down.. I won’t say anything more about this scene. If I do, there would be spoilers for the future books.
Sansa’s story wasn’t too interesting. But what Cersei tells her is surprising. She realises that she gave birth to a monster. She advices Sansa that she may not love Jeoffrey, but she will love her children. She then has a talk with Tyrion, where she asks if this is the price she had to pay for her crimes. Sadly, Tyrion was there only for the last scene. I missed him. And also Stannis seems to be absent.

All in all a wonderful episode, which has surprises for both the readers and non-readers of the series. Only 3 more to go… And I now have to read Feast for Crows… Season 3 can’t come sooner. And they should increase the number of episodes per season. Ten episodes is too little!!
