Impending Doom, Awkward Sex Scene, No Deaths Highlight Episode 2 of 'Game of Thrones'

Eagles star Chris Long, will recap Game of Thrones and share his thoughts on each episode every Monday on SI.com.

Episode 69, A Knight of Seven Kingdoms, is the first show in five years (and only one of three in eight seasons) not to feature a single on-screen death, but its overtone remained obsessed with just how many there are about to be. You sensed it in every conversation, around every corner and anticipated it before sunrise. And we’re still left anticipating it. We’ll anticipate it all week, looking out the window anxiously—like Tyrion peering through an opening atop the rampart.
