Favorite quotes from Game of Thrones: Dark Wings, Dark Words

How can an episode of television go so fast?! The end credits of Game of Thrones surprise me every freaking time. They covered a lot of ground in Dark Wings, Dark Words and introduced new characters and creatures. Though we didn't see everyone, plenty of characters did have solid moments and fantastic lines. You can read my favorite quotes from Dark Wings, Dark Words below.

I can't resist sharing some of my initial reactions to the episode. I don't remember much about A Storm of Swords so I can't pick apart differences from the book but some more general thoughts:

- Brienne and Margaery were my favorite parts of the episode. Brienne and Jaime have excellent chemistry and I loved watching her take him down. And watching Margaery manipulate Joffrey and make Cersei jealous is was so good.

- Olenna Tyrell is just as I pictured she would be.

- I'm glad the Reeds are finally here but their entrance was underwhelming and I bet confusing for people who haven't read the books.

- Bran really grew up between seasons!

- What the hell was up with Catelyn's speech about Jon? It's no secret she has never loved Jon Snow, but the whole blaming herself because she didn't follow through on her promise? I can't see Catelyn Stark ever believing she could give the Stark name to the bastard her husband brought home. Ever. I'm disappointed with the way they've handled her character.
That said, it was wonderfully acted by Michelle Fairley.
