Winterfellian Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This episode was good, but I really don't get the love that's been showered on it. It was no Baelor or Blackwater. I really wish I could enjoy this as much as everyone seems to be, but I just don't understand what's so extraordinarily good about it.I actually agree with you. I like it fine, but am far from being as impressed people here seem to be :dunno: It was the best episode so far though. I give it an 8.

Lord of Cheese Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I gave it an 8. I probably should have given it a 7.-1 for the stupid Bran scenes. This is starting to get a little ridiculous with him running through the woods chasing the 3ec. Then flashbacking to Jojen. Its just pointless.-1 for the ever greater possibility that we will not get to see Sam the Slayer. (I would have given a 10 if they showed Sam the Slayer!!)-1 for dragging on with the scene between Joff and Marg. Its just dumb. It didnt add anything. No charcter development at all. No story advancement.But overall it was a pretty damned good episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its just the dragons at the end. It was pretty powerful way to finish and, alas, thats what ppl remember most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Stark Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Earns a 9 from me. I'd give it a 9.5 if I could. It was not a perfect 10, but I will say that it was probably my favorite episode thus far. I was also surprised to hear my wife say that she liked this one. She's not too into the show, so that's saying something. If non-regular watchers watched this one they might be hooked now. I think the episode was very well done.There were differences, of course, but for the most part I enjoyed them and it was good television.EDIT: Now that I see people asking why some of us think it's so good, I'll answer that with the word "momentum". It had great dialogue, story movement, and you got to see most of the characters, but more than any of that the momentum of the episode was perfect.

Valyrian Badass Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I gave it a solid 10! the ending was sooooo awesome! I couldnt sit still in my chair waiting for Drogon to burn the astapori. Brienne's reaction to jamie whining was just pefection... im so happy those two are helping eachother out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff daddy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I gave it a 6. Some of the scenes were great and just full of awesome drama but there were some scenes that just felt like fanfiction that didn't do anything to move the plot forward. Episode just felt really uneven to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Words of Winter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 10.The last 20 minutes of the episode were amazing. The rest was pretty good. I normally would give it a 9, but the end was so amazing, it would be criminal to give it anything but a ten.Well, I guess I'm criminal. Don't get me wrong, I want to give it a 10, but that means that this is as good as it gets. One of the best of the shows if not the best. The ending was epic. So I give it a 9.25. I still want them to get better.This episode had the most consistent acting from everyone, even Samwell, Sansa and Ros which had some weak outing of resent. Thank the gods, hee hee, Shae was not involved. It would have brought it down to 8.The only two cons I really saw wasThe segway to Vary's cutting story. It didn't flow into it well, but it was acted well nonetheless.Sansa and Loras was expected, even though it is not in the book. He reaction was well done. A little forced, but not enough for me to say in my head, "hey, she is just acting."Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winksiemop Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I gave it a nine. The Bran scene really didn't need to be here... or, at least, it should have had more meat to it. Not much to complain about, other than the Varys/Ros scene being a little dull, but serviceable for progression of that particular storyline. Starting with the Vayrs/Olenna scene, the episode sustained a brilliance unmatched by any of the other three episodes this season.

Nictarion Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That was a 10! That was easily my favorite episode to date. Dracarys is my favorite part of the books and now the show as well, I am so glad they did it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Of House Hill Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 10/10. The first episode this season I really enjoyed. Sorry to see the Lord Commander go, but knew that would happen. It was fun to watch Varys and Tywin, this episode. Dany's scene stole the show. That was fantastic. I must admit I will miss Kraznys. I've known people like him and he nailed it.The only thing that annoys me is that they didn't release a soundtrack album, this season, which assuredly would have had the end credits music. I hate the thought of having to download it from you tube when some thief uploads it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A very strong 9.Jaime/Brienne continue to provide the best character interactions on the show.Theon's arc is a wonderful insight/deviation. I don't care if people deem it "unnecessary", I would rather have brilliant inessentials than following the book to a word. Sue me, I love it.RIP Old Big Bear, he loves the honey. Well shot, intense, violent scene at Crasters. My show-only friends stopped what they were doing once Craster stood up, and just stared...leading us into...Dany and Dracarys was phenomenal. I don't like her character, but tonight Emilia Clarke impressed the hell out of me with her deliverance of the Valyrian speech. The whole scene was great, especially Jorah's reaction. Great, great episode that is one of the best of the series so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words of Winter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I gave it a 9.25.Ep 1 --- 8+Ep 2 --- 6Ep 3 --- 9Ep 4 --- 9.25I just realized, there was no "HBO scene" in this one. Maybe they will see they don't need create scenes for T&A in every episode. Edited April 22, 2013 by Dread Pirate Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuseprime Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I gave it an 8. A very strong 8 at that. I agree with other posters that while it was the best episode thus far, it wasn't up there with some of the other great episodes this show has had. I especially enjoyed watching it with unsullied. I loved their reactions from the death of the LC to Dany's Dracarys scene (been waiting for that for a looooong time). The rest of the season should see more 8, 9, and possibly one giant 10 from me.

DanyStark Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Amazing of course but gave a 9 because wanted to feel the weight of the Old Bear's death more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzer Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 You know an episode was fantastic when you see it scoring a 10 from the majority of the members of Westeros.org. That's a very rare sight in these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
