He was great in season one and had great moments in season 3, especially GRRM's episode. Like Emilia Clarke, their acting suffers when the writing suffers. When Kit is given good lines, like this episode, he really shines. I thought he was wonderful. Sounded like he's really grown up. Put that punk ass Slynt back in his place. Can't wait for "Edd fetch me a block".

I should rephrase. I made it sound like I didn't like Kit before. Actually I've always liked him even when people thought he was too dull. But his scene today for me was just surprising. He has a new confidence to him.

I thought the whole episode was strong outside of the Tyrion/Shae scene, but that's just more with me not liking how they have portrayed their "romance" but I never really understood it in the books either. Another tiny annoyance was that they spelled "Ser" as "Sir" in the white book. Show watchers had no idea, and I'm willing to be the art designer who made it didn't either, but as a book fan I cringed for a split second. No big deal, just a petty complaint.

I loved the entire introduction of the Dornish and Prince Oberyn, painted his character points perfectly for non readers as a lustful, vengeful, dangerous man who will do whatever he wants when he wants. His monologue about Elia was pure gold. Only wish they mentioned Rhaenys and Aegons names in it, but I get not wanting to muddy the water with more and more names all at once. Love the casting of Ellaria too, actress is gorgeous.

Jon's scene was great, like the new Daario, brought Dontos back into the fold and he gave Sansa her purple jewels, loved Aryas revenge, the Hound had me in stitches, the Thenns were badass...

Everything was great, still not 10/10 great, but a solid 9.

Very solid. 9.



Good set up for future events that will take place in the later episodes, and some genuinely amazing scenes. Oberyn was fantastic, and I loved it when he stabbed that guy. The final scene was brilliant as well, it took its sweet time ratcheting up the tension and it paid off, I almost started laughing ecstatically during that fight. Excellent.

I was laughing ecstatically at the Hounds one liners. "Only Cunts" ROFL.

I gave it a 7 but I'm admittedly a very hard grader.



It was by far the best premier since the first season. Loved Oberyn's introduction. Loved the Arya/Hound scene. Loved the dragons ... especially loved Drogon snapping at Dany ... I jumped just like she did. Loved (and hated all at the same time) the breaking down of ice.



Loved Jon Snow's scene too and I agree that Kit did a fantastic job with it.



I also loved Margaery's sarcastic comment about Joffrey choosing a string of dead sparrows for her necklace, and how the QoT immediately put her in her place and was like "hush your tongue dear, even with me."

9/10



That's partly because I'm just so excited that the show's back, but I also think the episode did a really good job of catching non-readers up with a lot of backstory and setting up most of the major plotlines of the season.
