It's been a while since I've watched full episodes of GoT from the beginning. I almost forgot how much I enjoy season one...establishing the world, introducing the characters, learning the history and everyone's back stories...so good!

Fun fact - in the books it is mentioned that Arya is left handed. I don't believe they actually mention it in the show. Maisie Williams (who plays Arya and is right handed) took it upon herself to do Arya's sword fighting left handed because she knew fans of the books would notice that kind of thing.

The intro also shows the symbols of several important houses - I think you already noticed that last time. The logo at the end has four: the dragon for the Targaryens (Viserys and Daenerys), the lion is for the Lannisters (queen Cersei and her brothers), the wolf for the Starks, and the stag for Baratheon (king Robert and his children). The Mad King was not very well liked, so most people are not upset that he's gone. And as such things go, a lot of the people who served him are still in power under King Robert. Arya seems to enjoy her dancing lessons :-)

I have always been fascinated by Joffrey in this episode. He's horrible of course. But when he talks about creating a royal army loyal to the King and not to a bunch of Lords, he's actually advocating what in our own world was an important shift towards modern government. That's one of the main things the long struggles between kings and nobles was all about. How would it be if every state, county, or city in a country had its own army, ruled by a local Lord, and always having to be enticed to work in cooperation for the good of the whole country? Actually, there are people today who might say they prefer that. Maybe it's more democratic -- or appears that way. But it's also chaotic and unmanageable -- and encourages the development of lots of petty warlords. So while Joffrey is certainly becoming a beast, he's not necessarily stupid. In fact, he's arguably thinking ahead of his time, at least on this one matter.

Haha, in the intro when you said "I think that was like, Woo-hoo, our side won. Now we can elect a new king." As anyone who has seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail knows, "you don't vote for Kings." https://youtu.be/ScqJaijBwtA?si=fd-hH1LIFo8sKFTP (But seriously, there was a line from Robert Baratheon in the previous episode, when he was talking with Ned, "There are still those in the Seven Kingdoms who call me Usurper.")

One of the favorite lines. "No, you walk"
