The third episode; 'Lord Snow'; begins with Danny and Viserys's troubled relation being public. There is a good news for Danny. We see Danny's bloodrider Rakharo giving the big news to Ser Jorah who suddenly decides to go MIA. This rings a warning bell in our minds. Danny tells Drogo that she will have a baby boy.
We see a very old woman telling a story about the first appearance of White Walkers to Bran who is disappointed to know that he will never be able to walk again. Poor Bran.
We also get to see Jon who is way better than other recruits at Castle Black. Master-at-arms at Castle Black; Ser Allister Thorne; who trains new recruits has no intention of giving any special treatment to Jon calling him 'Lord Snow'. To make up for the fact that he was more lucky compared to his fellows, he starts training them after talking to Tyrion. Tyrion pisses off the edge of the wall and befriends Jon before leaving the wall. An interesting thing to note regarding Tyrion's short stay at Castle Black is how he agrees to the request made by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and Maester Aemon to talk to Cersei and King Robert to spare more men to protect the wall. This gently reminds us of threat from the 'things' beyond the wall.
Finally we turn to King's Landing. This is the place where all the major political action is going to be taking place. We learn Jaime had killed previous king Aerys Targaryn(Mad King, Danny's father) and thats how he got his name; The Kingslayer. We also learn that Ned doesn't approve of the reasons for which Jaime killed the Mad King. We meet many players in this game of thrones at the very first 'Small Council' meeting such as Renly(King Robert's brother and Master of Laws), Varys(Master of Whispers; a.k.a Spider who is also a eunuch), Pycelle(Grand Maester), Baelish(Master of Coins; a.k.a. Littlefinger who was in love with Cat since childhood). Ned learns that the kingdom is in debt to Queen's father(Lord Tywin Lannister). We also see Cat meeting with Ned to warn him of the possible involvement of the Lannisters in the attack on Bran. We see Littlefinger surprising everyone by telling them that the dagger used in Bran's assasination attempt was previously owned by him but now belongs to Tyrion. Also Ned befriends Littlefinger. (Oh you poor Ned!) The episode ends with Arya starting her swordsmanship training from the Braavosi trainer Syrio Forel that Ned hired for her.
The lovely transitions from one location with grasslands and desserts to another one with chilled winds and ice to yet another with warm southern lands is the beauty of Game Of Thrones. Also, this series does not waste any time in introducing its characters. Rather it allows its viewers to judge them by watching them taking decisions and speaking through action.
