Wasn't he ASOS
Thrown in the dungeon with the other guy who was hand before Davos (because Stannis thought Davos was dead, so appointed another) and then pretends to follow Mel's religion to get released?
edit: Shit, was that ACoK in my spoiler tag?
And yep, share your concern with Harrenhal.

Of course they couldn't keep Selmey a secret. Good on them for not trying.
for the most part, but i remember it as asos
mel confronts him about his threat, and he doesn't deny anything, which makes her trust him.
and they are already dropping the
barristan
revealing the truth about mormont for 2 seasons?

Yeah, trying to keep it secret as long as the book would have been dumb/insulting to the viewers' intelligence, IMO. Reveal still gave me chills. So glad that dude is back on the show, he's fucking awesome.
Would've been silly to even try. I was expecting this because of the preview anyway.

Decent start. I wonder if Robb is going to station in Harrenhall for a little bit.

They gave it away at the beginning during the "previously on..." portion. They showed Selmy getting the boot out of the Kingsguard. Figured he'd be back this episode.
Spoiler book 3
same way they did it in the books, when she finds out Jorah sold her out to Robert

ASOS thoughts on Danny
ASOS:
They're cruising right through the Danny story. I was honestly expecting the unsullied to be in the last episodes, with her giving the order to be her end to S3.
ASOS:
I wonder how this will affect Mormont's confession later as the scene had a bigger impact by both Selmey and him confessing their lies
that happens in asos though. i'm not sure how many people that haven't read the books would have noticed barristan being back. to be honest i really forgot what the actor looked like because he hadn't been on in so long, i'm sure those that haven't read the books wouldn't have realized
They could have kept the information from Khaleesi and Jorah I guess, but they couldn't have kept it as a reveal to the viewer/reader I suppose.
It was a good episode. Ros as an...adviser...I guess... was unfortunate, but whatever. The parts with Jon Snow were great, as was the interaction between Tyrion and his father. I don't have any complaints.

Off to a really good start I felt. The only slight disappointment was no battle at the fist and the Night's Watch guys didn't seem too bad off considering how last season ended. But any battle probably would have cost too much and no reason to burn the budget so soon. Aside from that, good stuff.
edit: also, I think Ghost has now had more scenes with Sam than Jon.

I also had a bottle and I have to say that this beer is IMPOSSIBLE to pour without a giant fucking head. Unless you pour it at about 2 miles an hour or something but who wants to do that.

See that's my issue.
Right. I am all sorts of confused ... :\
It absolutely did IMO. Good luck to the average viewer (non-reader) remembering who Selmy even was.
The dialogue was a little flat and boring throughout the ep; some great scenes though.
Astapor was fantastic.
Watching again now.

The explicitly said it at the end though?
And they showed him in the 'previously on' segment.

Shouldn't have read the books. Now I'm expecting too much.
ASOS
that's right, I forgot Barristan confessing is what causes her to make both of them break into the city. I forget if Barristan tries to poison her in the books in order to get her attention or if its someone else? Maybe they'll just say he paid the little snake girl to get on her side and use that?
another reason why it would have been easy to drag it out if he just somewhat disguised himself for the season. it doesn't matter though, i have confidence the show will turn out just fine. this is the first time i can watch and bitch about the books being better

thats what the "Previously On GoT" Segments at the beginning are supposed to take care of.
I felt it was underwhelming.
Parts I enjoyed:
+ Ghost
+ Tyrion vs Tywinn
+ Nipple slicing
- Everything else
The Harrenhal stuff played out differently in the books right? Almost can't blame them for the changes because the story has to be compacted but the Harrenhal stuff had some of my favorite moments from the book.

Showing the battle definitely would have better communicated the (Book 4/5 spoilers, I think)
complete disaster facing the Wildlings, and why they have to march south
are you sure that is ASOS then? I am so confused now. she makes them ASOS
go in a gutter

All you have to do is pay attention to the Previously On and not be completely dense.

Really digging it.
The cuts are less abrupt and the scenes have more time to develop.
Good stuff.

she is attacked by someone when riding through her followers to meet them

That was one thing I did notice and I am quite happy about that. That's what I didn't like about last season.

I don't have HBO, so I haven't watched this episode yet. My only question is, was Theon in this episode? If so, to what extent?

I was also surprised at myself that I didn't even notice there was no Brienne/Jaime tonight. THAT storyline is what I'm looking forward to this season more than any other.
He was not.
