Among other things, let’s see now:

• Lannisters always pay their debts (unless they’re to other Lannisters)
• You CAN survive a green magic hellfire explosion if you land on some big rock in the sea that saves your life (ouch.)
• Mothers DO make mistakes that make for nice plot kicks in the ass
• Undead-looking armies seem to be REALLY bad at killing slow, fat guys.
• The new people you meet are the same as the old people you meet… just newer
• And most importantly, “Men don’t need nipples” (ouch!)

Episode 2 is Sunday. If you don’t have HBO yet, you’re welcome (sorry for the spoilers, thought)…
