Ugh, I can't even imagine how painful it will be to see Oberyn's death.

The actor's doing such a good job. I admit I didn't really imagine Oberyn like him, but he's great.
The new Daario actor is too likeable, imo. I feel like that was a purposeful decision, but it's just so odd to not hear "Daario Nahaaris" and see who is supposed to Daario Nahaaris and not cringe or want to roll my eyes and skip the scene.
I wonder how they'll handle Sansa's escape. I knew Dontos was coming in this episode, and one was reason was obviously the gems, but I thought he'd also kind of set up the events of the escape. I suppose he'll come sometime before/during the wedding, or maybe even right amidst the chaos, and whisk her away. I'm actually happy they chose to bring Dontos instead of have LF do it only because that'll be LF's sudden and grand entrance into this season.
Loved Cersei's scene with Jaime. After rewatching some episodes, I began feeling a bit sorry for show Cersei, but the Cersei in this episode definitely felt more like the book Cersei.
Also, I like this episode just erased all further remaining doubts about Tyrion killing Shae. It's definitely happening.
Really liked it, great start. Preview for next week hyped me up as well ahhh
