Peachie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Asha/Yara's side trip to try to rescue Theon was a little pointless but Theon + Ramsey made up for it and brought the score back up to a nine for me. Even though I know what happens with the trial, it was still fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryaSansa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I giive it a 6, was kind of boring :( Seeing Stannis get a bank loan? Why would the bank give an evil religious maniac a loan? Watching Dany doing meetings was boring too :(Yara attacking Ramsay was kind of a let down too :( I thought Ironborn were stronger, and they had shields! Ramsay was naked and had a few dogs :P And why would Tyrion demand a trial by combat, he's going to lose! Shae was obviously under duress, probably had to say those things or else she'd die by Cersei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The first 10 I've given this year! The trial was amazing, the final scene where he demanded trial by combat gave me chills, it was acted nicely and the produced wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Braavos: Clearly setup for later, but at least they clarified the size of Stannis' forces. Plus, Salladaor Saan gets his obligatory one scene per season (that's such a weird recurring character). Dreadfort: Single most pointless part of this season to date, and I'm including the brothel scenes. After the setup given to Yara in the season 3 finale, that was an incredible whimper. Meereen: Eh, okay. Amazing CGI on Drogon. King's Landing: Terrific stuff all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0bR Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 9 I was about to give it 7 because of too much cringeworthy Shae speaking, but Dinklage saved it So my only complain is the lenght and the lame Ironborn/Dreadfort guys fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makchamp Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 That ending though Epic Was waiting for the trial episode since episode 2. It did not disappoint. Just sad that it ended in a huge cliffhanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito5601 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 cant give it a 10 cause the yara scene started of nicely but ended up being rlly bad when she escaped, the stannis scene and the trial was amazing tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Best episode of the season so far. Gave it an 8, which I may decide to revise up to 9 later. Why not a 9 right off? Well, the Greyjoy business was not well-executed (the Reek-specific stuff, yes, but the stuff around it, no), in shades of the Craster's Keep matter. Plus Emilia Clarke's vacillating performance is indeed started to bug me. The trial was exceptional though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToTheWolves Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I feel like the asha/yara storming the dreadfort was sloppy and pointless I don't understand why they ran from two dogs and they were armed. But everything else made up for it I especially liked the whole part with Jamie and tywin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarl the climber Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I gave this one an eight. The strongest episode of the season. Yara/Ramsey was a little weak and cost the episode a point. The trial was great, Stannis storyline was good, Hizadar came across as a sympathetic and interesting character which was a good change from the book where he seems to be a sleazeball, good episode for Clarke, great episode for Dinklage, Tyrion took a big risk asking for a combat trial without a champion lined up and calling Joffrey a bastard strongly insinuated the rumors about Cersei and Jamie, much ballsier than in the books, where his actions were more measured.

P. frontalis chiripepe Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I feel like the asha/yara storming the dreadfort was sloppy and pointless I don't understand why they ran from two dogs and they were armed. But everything else made up for it I especially liked the whole part with Jamie and tywin. I agree, I think the Asha sequence started out promising and then ended a bit clumsily. Not only did they run from the dogs, but Ramsey apparently gave them enough of a headstart to actually avoid getting caught by them, which is uncharacteristic of him. Overall though, I give the episode an 8. I liked the Trial scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raksha 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 9, a great episode; almost as good as the Blackwater in S2. (would have been a 10 without the burned goat/child confusion and Ramsay/girlfriend porn and Yara & her fearless Five or whatever fleeing from a couple of dogs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 8/10 at first i was leaning towards a lower score but the trial and the bit with Ramsey washing Reeks back made up for the pitiful effort to rescue him...i mean how did they get away....after (i think) he let the dogs out??? but overall a good episode with killer moments during the trial and the addition of the Tywin-Jamie moment... :smoking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi Marcos Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The episode is almost perfect (Yara's plot was dumb). I voted a 10 when in my heart is a 9 in order to compensate the usual hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
of man and wolf Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Those dogs are rather large. I'd run from certain types of them as well even if armed. Like Kangals and such...they can kill wolves, wouldnt be much trouble killing humans. Anyways I dont think Ramsay actually let the dogs out. They just decided to leave and Ramsay was content with the threat. Edited May 12, 2014 by of man and wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Asha scene was pretty useless, and the fight scene what's pretty bad. Other than that and Shae, 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) 8/10 Because of the trial and Dinklage, would have been higher if the rest was as good. Edited May 12, 2014 by Nictarion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor de la Tormenta Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Im rising a point. I always complain about Daenerys whitewash and I have to give them a point for throwing "my dad vote against it" to her face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDunn Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I assume something worse will happen with the dragons later than killing a dumb sheep, in order to justify how she chains them up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinwesteros Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, the Asha scene was horrible. And pointless, unless it was to show Reek's more advanced disintegration, and that part was well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
