As always, starting episodes are a bit slow.

Jon is deep into the wildling camp. Margerys seems to be much more suited to be queen than Sansa because she is more ambitious. Stannis seems still lost with the Red Women - I almost didn't recognize her. It's a bit confusing that they didn't show any of Tywin's movements - was especially surprised to find POWs dead in Harrenhal. Daenerys finds a new ally - Baristan Selmy, who really is a great addition to her army. This truly is like a Cinderella story albeit a little more brutal.

The scene with Tywin and Tyrion was really well done. This was another scene between the father and the son and we get a really good sense of what their relationship is like.

Overall, we pick up season 3 right where we left off. The claim to the throne is more solid now that most contenders are swaying off including Robb.
