lil_z Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The Sceen at dreadfort, as many have mentioned, seemed pointless, they really didn't need it TBH, not after the scene in season 3 were Theon's fathers calls him "no son of mine." But Tyrion, at the trial, gave me goose bumps. Well done, very well done, Dinklage shines here, we knew his talent but he lets it all out. His range, and show had me feeling his characters deep seeded injustices. Solid 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilúvatar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) 4/10 - Yara's assault was just plain bad. Underwhelming. Hated how they turned Ramsay into a "badass" fighter. - Iron bank of Braavos was a disappointment despite a decent performance (as usual) from Liam Cunningham.- The dialogue between Daenerys and Hizdahr zo Loraq was some of the worst acting i've seen in the entire series.- The constant reminders about Oberyn's sexuality were cringeworthy. Far worse than previous episodes. It's just getting embarrassing now. - The trial itself was okay. Nothing exceptional, but not particularly disappointing. Sibel Kekilli once again proved that she's not a good actress. Overall, one of the most disappointing episodes I can remember. Something about it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Facelesss Fan Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 9 Why?Dragons, Davos, Varys and Tyrion's Cnfession.Mostly this ep. advanced the story. Yara had better get word to the Moat Calln about Theon losing his mind, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Danford Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Bravos fanfic was meh That trial though . . . The only time the show has ever given me goosebumps. Peter Dinklage nailed it. Nailed it. The score building in the background, the final face off of Tywin and Tyrion and Tywin's realization that his pact with Jamie is now borked . . . Fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor de la Tormenta Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 FalseKnight,Like I said. The Reek specific stuff was good, i.e. showing how far he is gone. But the stuff leading up to it and following it is nonsensical. They should have gone for something other than a commando raid on the Dreadfort.that ends when Ramsay threatens them with .... dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eraven Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 4/10- The dialogue between Daenerys and Hizdahr zo Loraq was some of the worst acting i've seen in the entire series.I beg to differ on this. I thought Emilia potrayed the guilt of crusifying a non-evil master rather perfectly. It was as subtle as it needed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 8/10, mostly for the trial. Asha's little trip was a baffling waste of time, but Christ... that trial. Even Jaime's early role in it fit perfectly.My sentiment exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Beyond the Wall Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Rated a 9! Nothing felt rushed, the trial and Kings Landing scenes were revealing, especially hinting on the mystery that is. Varys. Yara is a terrible name choice for Asha, but what's done is done. I had forgotten her name was changed until she said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordeast Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Loved this episode. Tyrion will make a worthy competitor for best actor going against Walter White, and Rust Cole. The Asha part was stupid. So she was cornered and Ramsey just lets her go? How did she get out of the dungeon? Sometimes when D and D need to add a scene it seems like they don't know how to make the scene realistic. Still gave it a 9 because watching Shae burn Tyrion was perfect and basically how I pictured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxarion Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Dinklage is so good...An Emmy for Dinklage ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHouseHB Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Only reason I gave it an 8 is because of the Yara plot line. Other than that the episode was great loved the end credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) A 8 for the King's Landing scenes! For Dinklage, Dinklage, Dinklage, and Coster-Waldau. For them and because of them this episode rises to one of the best of the season. There's an Emmy for Dinklage in this episode I suspect.

ladyinblack Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Really trying not to compare to the books anymoreI enjoyed this ep -gave my first 9The casting & acting was superbThat being said Asha/Yara is terrible in the part . Tonight she gave a good effort on logistically ridiculous raid on the Dreadfort.?Dinklage killed it & Oberyn is brillantly played.Why are they -Stannis & Davos at the IB..? It's way early. Guess they need winter clothes...& ships Edited May 12, 2014 by ladyinblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
