I can't believe the amount of time wasted in this episode with that idiotic chase scene and the wine & lolz session in the pyramid.

3 Didn't mind Shireen being killed - gotta feed the god. Melisandre and Stannis both have great poise and menace. I'd rather evil characters with poise and menace than "good" characters that behave like lost socks. Dragons are fucking boring. Dany is a panto step-sister at best elevated wantonly to leading role. Hizdahr should have been more violently and cruelly slaughtered. I bet Jorah stinks like wet fucking towels but he has a strong archaic brow and interesting skin tone. Jon Snow looked like wet sheep that got overlooked on Valnetine's day and Olly is a piece of proletarian shite should be sent back to fucking Londonderry. Also, Arya is great but I doubt Cat of the Canals would've balked at poisoning the insurance salesman.

9 + an extra point for it bucking the catastrophic downward trend of the previous episodes. It was such a relief to love it so much!

3. Full marks for the scenes in the House and Black and White. Otherwise... I cannot believe how defiantly cringeworthy the Dorne story is. A willful fiasco. What ESL student is script supervisor down there in Spain? Sickeningly shite. I suspect that nepotism or political correctness in the hiring/firing policy might explain it.

2/10 Consistently limp writing throughout. I still can't believe how relentlessly awkward every single interaction was. Total crippling disappointment.
