Watched it earlier today. I thought it was a weaker episode, mostly thanks to lack of focus -- no single character got enough time in the spotlight to build much dramatic tension, which left half the characters with scenes obviously designed as setpieces and no follow-through. Fairly heavy on exposition, too. The pilot had similar problems, if I remember right; I'm starting to think that the series would be better off starting each season with a two-hour entry.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with Asha aka Yara, though. Watching her play with Theon's head like a cat torturing a gopher was one of the highlights of the second book.
