Game Of Thrones: 5 Winners & 5 Losers In 'First Of His Name'

It's good to be Littlefinger, less so to be his adopted niece.

If you haven€™t seen the latest episode, then this article contains some big SPOILERS. Seriously, get out if you haven't seen 'First Of His Name,' because we'll be going into detail here. We€™re now at the midway point in Season 4 of Game of Thrones, but it feels like all of the action (plot wise) has already happened. The season has hit a slump in form in comparison to the first two episodes. In previous seasons, the plot has built slowly from the beginning, working towards a mid season gearshift or second-to-last episode climax. This time around, the show seems to be lagging midseason as a result of the dramatics of the second and third episodes. The characters are going through the motions at the moment, and we€™re all just waiting for the next big plot event, which will hopefully be Tyrion€™s trial. Nevertheless, we at least get a decent action scene at the end of €˜First of His Name€™, with Jon Snow and his Night€™s Watch brothers storming the mutineers at Craster€™s Keep. There€™s some good swordplay, some gruesome deaths (as per usual), and the destruction of a long-standing set. Of course, we€™ll be discussing all that and more with this week€™s selection of winners and losers.
