Señor de la Tormenta Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 A strong 8 until Daenerys.Dropped to a 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan the Man Baratheon Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Seven seems fair for this ok episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodhair Petyr Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think that was the best Daenerys scene since drogon rosting the astapori guyoverall was good, sam was super boring, so 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFSalami Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 9.That last speech was epic. The command that Clarke has over that language is so got damn hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito5601 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 i liked the wildling attack and littlefingers accent changed, its creepier noww an 8 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This episode to me really was on par with last week (which to me was good but not great) it just lacked the ending. Joffrey's death is a lot better than a flat Dany ending. 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalibakCruel Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Besides the Sam scenes, I liked the episode. Dany didn't bore me to tears like usual. I thought they set up things pretty well.Minuses go to the Jaime portrayal, that was just bad and to the champion fight. Anti climatic as hell.Also new Daario still sucks imo, and they had a chance to show off some moves and they had him go with the cop out shot instead.Will have to rewatch before I give a grade though.

DreamSongs Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) This was one a the few times I was actually happy to see Dany and Mereen. Emilia Clarke did a fabulous job. Tywin, as always, was a show stealer. What I really hated was the suggestiveness that the sex in the sept was less than consensual.

FNF Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Seven seems fair. It's a transition episode so I wasn't really expecting anything, but I feel like the ending could have been waaaay better. It just fell flat on it's face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany's Silver Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 8/10 but that may change when I rewatch it. I couldn't quite believe it was over so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksellsword Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I gave it a 9 I really liked this episode seemed so short obviously because I was enjoying it.My only pet pee-ve was wishingDaario had of pissed on the Champion to make up for strong Belwas not taking a shit. I think it was a bit of a cop out to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 8/10 It was a solid episode throughout, but not much stood out as outstanding either. I didn't much like Sam's scenes, but that's about it for my complaints.* *Except one. I don't usually have any issues with the show's production designs, but it looked embarrassingly warm and sunny during the wilding raid. What happened to winter? If it weren't the Starks' words, viewers could be forgiven for thinking winter already came and went and now its early summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0bR Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) 7/10, too much D&D butchery to my liking Edited April 21, 2014 by C0bR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) A strong 9 until Dany. Then a 10! Emilia can really nail it when she is speaking High Valyrian. She was excellent this episode. I thought all the dialog was unformly better written this episode Edited April 21, 2014 by boojam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman1863 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 There were some good scenes, but there were also some bad ones. That Jaime/Cersei scene was horrible and made no sense. They are too set in their characterizations. Cersei and Tyrion get consistently lightened as characters, but when Jaime goes through an actual in book transition, they are resistant to following through with it.

libertine Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This one was a 9 for me. Tyrion & Pod, Tywin & Tommen, Tywin & Oberyn, Littlefinger & Sansa all were really great scenes. I also liked the ending, although the fight could have been a little more entertaining. But nevermind, it shows that Daario is super badass. Sam's scenes sucked a little though.

TheHouseHB Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 A 10. Best episode of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 8. I looked back over my votes for the first three episodes over the previous seasons, and this one has had the best results from me (yes, even outdoing season 1 -- Lord Snow got a 7), so kudos to them for a solid start. Reviewed it in more detail here, where I think it's fair to say that it's actually a fairly elegantly written episode. I'm a sucker for stories with a strong thematic through-line, though.
