A game of thrones though this may be, the seat of honour has rarely made an appearance in the title sequence. This episode not only gives us a prominent shot of the iron throne but also a clear view of the Lannister sigil floating above. This may be a reference to Cersei's current occupation of the throne, or an indication that her double dealing will keep her sitting in the seat of power for several episodes to come — perhaps (heaven forbid) until the end.
