Game Of Thrones: S1E4

The fourth episode of Game Of Thrones keeps the pace going on from its previous episodes. Although the stories spread across various locations progress simultaneously, we do not lose the track. The episode is appropriately titled as 'Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things' as it focuses on exactly the same.

We see Ned searching for clues behind previous hand Jon Arryn's death in King's Landing. He learns from Grand Maester Pycelle that the last words by Jon Arryn were 'The Seed Is Strong' which initially feels cryptic but is a strong clue in the coming time for Ned. He meets a young man named Gendry who is a blacksmith by profession and identifies him as King Robert's bastard. Also, Sansa learns from Littlefinger about the history between The Hound and The Mountain (Gregor Clegane) who are brothers but shares a hateful relationship.

Then the story across the narrow sea continues with Khal drogo and his Khalasar entering 'Vaes Dothrak' which is hometown of all the Dothraki khalasars. The statues at the entrance of Vaes Dothrak representing two stallions is mesmerizing. Danny and Jorah share a common opinion about Viserys that he is not fit to rule Westeros.

At the wall there is a new recruit called Sam who is not at all a good fighter and Jon asks his brothers not to hurt him which irritates Ser Thorne.

At Winterfell, we see Tyrion badly treated by acting lord of Winterfell, Robb Stark. Tyrion still shows mercy to the crippled stark boy Bran by gifting him design for a saddle which will help him ride a horse. Tyrion also meets Theon Grayjoy(who was taken as ward by Ned and raised with other Stark children) and reminds him that he is a hostage to the Stark family. Finally we see Tyrion arriving at the crossroads Inn where he identifies Cat but gets arrested by Tully bannermen (Catelyn's maternal house) for Bran's attempted assasination.
