8ish/10 There was nothing wrong with this episode. Was it the best ever? No, but it was a really great "calm before the storm" episode with some awesome moments: Brienne's knighting, Theon/Sansa, Jaime/Bran and that ending. I love the short of Jorah on horseback outside the walls looking towards the Wolfswood, anticipating the dead. Come to the realization that most folks are are malcontent pedants

Was between a 6-7, ended up closer to a 6. Honestly wasn't a fan of really anything in the first half of the episode outside of the S1x01 mirror with the procession entering Winterfell. I guess I liked Theon rescuing Yara. Nice little action sequence. Kinda rushed sure - but it was fun. I really enjoyed the Last Hearth piece, along with John Bradley's performance. Nikolaj as Jaime managed to be better than most of the cast in a 20 second scene with no dialogue. Met expectations, wasn't really expecting much.

Can you imagine the reaction if the Stannis scene is rushed and there's no LSH? Good lord!

Alliser had him chained when they returned from Crasters

You're making a scene here - you really need to calm down.

Yeah, an emotionally stable poster. Calm down man.

You're being ridiculous.

You know that's not true

The scene between Oberyn & Tyrion was excellent

I guess, I just don't see the point you're trying to make.

Haunt?

Based on the actual episode: 8.5 With the amount of tears and rage over the deviations? 10

You realize that ratings are going to continue to increase, right?

Well if you take into account that Book 3 is being split over 2 seasons, there's no need to have a massive climax in this episode, especially since we just had the Red Wedding.

Next season is going to be fucking amazing. Now I've gotta wait 3 months until football. :dunce:
