Episode 8: The Pointy End

George R.R. Martin scripted this fast-paced episode.  Things happen quickly, and a lot of material from the book is covered efficiently without losing any flavor.  We see the Lannisters sieze power, Syrio and Arya's final dance lesson, Arya's first kill, Rob calls the banners, Tyrion recruits the stormcrows, and Jon fends off a wight attack!
