gmavridis Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 9 for me. The trial scenes were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmavridis Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not sure if mentioned, but Alfie Allen was amazing. Great acting! 10/10! I agree he was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Why oh why didn't they finish an excellent trial with Oberyn's declaration?I know right? Would have been a way better ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igrewupinKL Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not as great as last episode, but tyrion saved it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipsuel Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I gave it a 9/10 (my first 9 of the season). And if I could rate individual performances, I'd give Alfie Allen, Iwan Rheon, NCW and PD all 10/10... My god, IR has just nailed Ramsay and his psycho-ness for me. Such a good casting choice. I really have no complaints with the exception of 'Yara' putting her tail between her legs and running... Her and the guys she had with her... Lol, that was just silly and it's the only reason I didn't give it a 10. All in all, though, I loved this episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modesty Lannister Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I would like to support the poster who complimented Nikolaj's acting. It has been consistently superb throughout the show and I think it is way better than anything Dinklage offered this season. So, if anyone deserves an Emmy nomination, it's Nikolaj.

SerArthurHeath Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 NCW should have got an Emmy last season any how. I can't wait for Season 5 when Jaime really comes into his own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Baalish Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Stannis had a new supporter :bowdown:IMO, Tyrions speech paled by Davos' tirade to the Iron Bank fella's. Next to that though, Lord Tyrell, would you be so kind as to fetch my parchment and quill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannosaurus Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Trial was perfect. 10. One of the best episodes so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylin Stark Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's an 8 for me. Would have been a 9 if the Theon rescue wasn't so stupid.And for some reason I was hoping the trial would be dragged out a bit more, but no complaints.And Peter Dinklage's acting during the trial was PHENOMENAL.His delivery of the last lines was spectacular.

Melphis Amekia Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If I could, I'd give it a 100, but I have to settle for a 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyinblack Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Alfie Allen- just owning that difficult role always to perfectionDon't know all the actors names-- but Davos is played flawlessly too Stannis is the rightful king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevre River Warrior Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I thought Tyrion's trial was GREAT, gave the episode a 9 instead of a 10 because the Yara/Asha sequence was such a disappointment. I hope that is not the last we see of her. I would have loved to have seen her kick Ramsey's arse. The Titan of Bravos was great and I always love Davos. I think the Mereen portion was slow but in the books it is too....Dany spends way too much time in Mereen but I thought Hizdar was good and liked the twist that his father was one of the crucified men. That sets up what happens later pretty well and gives him a motive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridilon Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Echoing the sentiments of all. Dinklage, Allen, Cunningham, Hill, NCW and as always Dance are superb. Not to mention Pascal's delivery with limited lines. That was an Emmy winner for PD. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevre River Warrior Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just had to add - if they follow the books for the next four episodes we are in for some amazing television. I think this season will end up being epic, just like Book 3 (Storm of Swords) is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I know right? Would have been a way better ending.Would make zero sense for him to declare unless he knew The Mountain was the queens champion Anyway I give it a 9 best ep of the season Edited May 12, 2014 by Mark Antony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 376 votes in, 8.78 average, 9 median, 8.95 normalized average. For those keeping track, this places the episode as the 9th most well-received on the forum, and the best received since "The Rains of Castamere".

Jorah the Explorer Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I hate to echo the hivemind here. But it was great and I rate it a 9, with the obvious flaw of the Asha scene. A dumb sequence that goes in a circle, it's definitely out of place alongside GRRM's pre-Feast writing. A new scene that I really enjoyed was the Braavos story, though.. well done Cogman. Also the Jaime and Tywin bargain was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
