This week’s episode of Game of Thrones, "The Broken Man," began with a rare cold open, a film industry term for a show that gets right to the action before the credits run. In the scene a septon, Brother Ray, and his meek followers are building a sept in a picturesque valley. Groups of three and four men carry large logs for the structure, and then a log carried by a single man comes into view. The large man limps slightly, and when he puts the log down we see the disfigured face of the Hound. Larger surprises have not been given such treatment on the show, so the decision came as a bit of a surprise.
