Petyr is a metrosexual of medieval fantasy. I wish he came off a bit more foppish, but maybe he will as it goes. Renly wasn't as striking as he is supposed to be, and I missed that they didn't put in the verbal sallies between him and Petyr. The change from the meeting them on the Kings Road (and Cat actually beating them to Kings Landing) took some of that character development out, so they could add in more background development which I guess is needed. The Spider was a little lackluster for me as well. He didn't quite come off as swarmy enough to me.
Ratings still trending up is good. This episode didn't leave us with a good hook (and had less action), so I hope it doesn't start losing ground.
