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.

I always pictured Renly the more metrosexual of the two, but Petyr is definitely characterized as prizing his appearance very highly. I'm with you on Varys as well, but I think he could end up impressing me further down the line.
I think they absolutely nailed Gendry, and I'm enjoying Arya's character just as much as the first episode, which I think is fantastic. I still think Sansa's not pretty enough, but she is doing a great job of annoying me, which is what her character did in the books, so I guess she's doing a good job
The scene between Tyrion and Theon in the recent episode (4) may be my favorite of the entire series so far.
