HBO: Do you have a favorite moment or scene from this episode?
Bryan Cogman: Very hard to choose! I’ll pick two, if I may. I love the Jaime/Brienne bath house scene. It was one of my favorite moments in the books; classic George R.R. Martin. He peels back the layers of a character who started the story as a villain and makes you see him as a vulnerable human being. It’s a very long monologue in the book that was a challenge to adapt, but great fun. It’s a major turning point for Jaime, to be this vulnerable and open and raw with someone other than Cersei. And I think it’s the first time he’s told ANYONE what really happened during the sack of King’s Landing-that includes Tyrion and Cersei.

Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season was the fastest selling home video release in HBO’s history. Part of that was due, of course, to the show’s popularity. But a lot of that was because it was just an awesome set, with amazing production values and lots of great bonus features. Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season, releasing on Blu-ray and DVD Feb. 19 in the US, seems to duplicate that successful formula. But is this a case of “you can never have too much of a good thing” or “just more of the same”? Read on to find out.
