Asha Yara's plan to rescue Theon petered out rather lamely. Apart from that, this episode was good. It was great to see more of Varys, and Peter Dinklage gave a fine performance.
@Chris: I guess the show just isn't for you, which is fine. It's okay to not like things. I just wouldn't really criticize the show for being too similar to other fantasy series, because, well, it's not. It deconstructs the high fantasy format by putting an emphasis on the political shenanigans and the lengths to which the elite will go to obtain and keep power. The one show that it's the most similar to thematically is The Wire.
