Yes, you read that right. For this recap of Game of Thrones, we're returning to that centuries-old poetic form: the haiku. Why, you ask? Maybe it's because we relish the simple challenge of whittling down our oftentimes flaily reactions to only 17 syllables. Maybe it's because we're ardently striving to become published haiku authors of great renown. Or, maybe it's because after live-blogging the episode on Sunday night, we read through the chat transcript, looked at each other (figuratively) and said:"Ooh. It's way too spoilery."
Lea and I have both read Game of Thrones already, and during the live-blog, we couldn't help but delve into events that won't occur until much later. While we do engage in a lot of antics on the blog, writing major spoilers is not one of them. Thus, we decided a brief haiku recap for this character-heavy episode of Game of Thrones was the perfect solution. The results of our efforts are below. Please enjoy:

Kingslayer, you are.
Evil? Or misunderstood?
Things you do for love.

Oh mighty BeardBurns!
Your beard and sideburns are one!

Viserys: King of the punks
'Don't wake the dragon'?!
I laugh as you get neck-whipped.
No more horse for you!!!
