Game of Thrones. Season 3, Episode 4: "And Now His Watch Is Ended"

Some viewers have observed that Season 3 of Game of Thrones seems to have started quite slow. That is not the show's weakness, really, but its strength – an entire season actually has one complete narrative arc.

Yes, I am strangely attracted to Bran Stark. What.

The first three episodes are mostly exposition. Then the rising action starts in episode 4 (this episode) and culminates with the climax at the end of episode 6 or 7. Then we get the falling action in episodes 8 and 9, and then we have the season finale as the denoument.

"Episode 4 is where I usually go 'full bitch mode'."

If you liked this episode a lot, brace yourself. Because winter is coming.

And so are the Khaleesi's dragons.
