Eddard – Jory killed.

I'm curious if GRRM's revelation that the Dothraki attack on the Lhazareen town will go down in Episode 8 changed anything for you. I had that in episode 9, personally, so it looks to me as though there will be more cutting happening in the middle episodes and perhaps longer scenes of the final chapters.

Rabbit, can you re-post (or link) your short outline?

I will repost my outline tomorrow, because I do not know in which post I had it (sometimes during last fall, but I do not know exactly ) .

My outline is "conservative" one – lack of any imagination, and very close to the books chronology – not the possible real timeline, as presented at Westeros forums.

I'd even suggest a seat for sweet Cersei, though how many times would we have to see her flouncing out of the room like a peevish cat?

Not that Lena flouncing anywhere is a bad thing.

Just have any old knight shout, "I'm here to win the Hand's tourney!" when Ned passes the Mud Gate (I do think the scene itself sets a certain tone and should be kept). We can show Beric Dondarrion's colors at the tourney but not his face. The same goes for later in the season when Ned musters the forces that will go after Gregor. We don't need to see faces, we don't even need to really hear names; just knowing it's a stalwart group of badasses will suffice. That way, when they actually matter in season 3 we can cast quality actors for those parts. Thoros of Myr falls into that same category (though I would still show him from afar).

Balon Swann makes his first appearance here was well, and that can be cut for when he's made part of the Kingsguard in season two. He serves no real purpose being introduced here.

Because this episode is really when Tyrion's luck really starts to go downhill.
