Alboin Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) my first 9 this season.Not even because of particular scenes (althought some were really great) but overall feeling was of a very dynamic and well-thought-out episode. Sometimes on the show it feels like they have an unachievable deadline for a script and have to rush to write, just not having enough time to really create a powerfull and yet faithfull adaptation to the books. But not this time (gladly)+ of course final Sam scene, amazing piece of thriller.+ the wedding, with Sansa's frustration and Tyrion's escapism, his threat to Joff and that awkward moment between Cersei and Loras... Loved it. No problems with the Sansa's kneeling for me, although I wished Joff's threat to bed Sansa would be played in the end somehow.+ Daario and Dany sequence was just almost as imagined it from the books.+ Liam Cunningham is just brilliant... Maybe my favorite actor on the show- Only big complaint I have is Varys being an extra in this episode and overall underusage him this season.

amilas Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I voted this episode as an 8. I kind of wish I had voted 7 but it's too late.If I were to summarize this episode in a word it would be "beautiful". The scenes and the acting were well done and it flowed beautifully. That being said, the changes are getting a bit ridiculous. I've always been one of the few who has accepted the changes because it still kept the heart of the story. Some of these changes (primarily the Gendry/Melisandre bit) were just so gratuitously Hollywood that it really irritated me for the last time. It's been a long time coming, but it finally got to me. I'm still rating it higher than it should be, but really only because I'm giving the directors the benefit of the doubt that they will reign it in a little bit. If not...then I'm just going to have to view this as a parallel world or something to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRoid Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) 9, a very solid episode overall.Loved the full atmosphere of Tyrion's wedding. Edited May 20, 2013 by DaveRoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardface Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 NICE cover of the wedding! Dario seems kinda bamfishI liked the first scene with Arya/houndevery single week I love the scenery!tbh i cant remember much about the gendry scene from the books-seems like a good lead up for later though!Sam-Gilly scene was good. I liked the naming-the-baby banter. For some reason this show becomes like 10x more awesome for me whenever I see a weirwood tree and its red leaves. I wonder what non-book readers will think? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I voted an 8 but really felt it was an 8.5.It was an all around solid episode and I don't think I had any major problems with it. There was just nothing that stood out for me to give it a 9. Probably because I felt Sansa's sadness/uncomfortableness of the marriage was downplayed (though Tyrion's wasn't).

Master Forel's Fro Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 10 I loved everything about this episode, Arya and the hound, margaery's *burn* she thinks she's talking to sansa, loved the wedding, I was worried they'll do a bedding but so glad they didn't 'change' that. Daario polishing his naked lady's. second fav after episode 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria underfoot Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What we got was great, very solid acting, good writing, everything made sense.BUT isn't anyone else sad about what we missed?? One episode before the RW, I think that they could have used it to show some more Robb and Cat.. As a last reminder of who they were, and why it is so shocking that they die.

TomBadgerlock Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I actually don't have a clue how to rate this one. I gave it a ten just because. No episode could be worse than last week's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion_the_Oneironaut Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Drunk Tyrion gets a 10.Daario gets a 10.Titan's Bastard. 10.The Dragonstone scenes, however, dragged this one down to a 7 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmholt Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm a little sad we might not get to see Barristan clock someone to death with a wooden staff, but other than that, fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hairy bear Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) For me:Yunkai receives a 9,5Sam and the other a 9,5Dragonstone a 7,5King's Landing a 4I hated how they made the character of Sansa a collaborator in the marriage. Smiling to Tyrion, kneeling, having her undress herself without even making Tyrion to ask...I didn't like it at all. Also, Cersei was completely out of line with Margaery.

kkae Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The worst episode of the entire show. Not really but that is how I feel at the moment. The season is at the point where I'm just fed up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ugh, very average episode. 7 at best.The wedding was handled VERY poorly, but I thought the bedchamber scene between Tyrion and Sansa was good.Daario was flat, and his dialogue was even flatter.Stannis/Davos scene was pretty good, and the leeches were also done well.Sam the Slayer was not at all how I pictured it, and felt quite clumsy.Very forgettable episode.But in other news..... Tits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mark of the East Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Gave it an 8. It was an okay episode, definitely better than the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightEcho Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 So many differing views on here, ol. They either hate it or live it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdfast Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 An 8. A lot better than the last two episodes. Would have loved more Arya/Hound screen time, but also hoping this just means we'll see their storyline following through to Season 4. Totally over the number of nude scenes this season.

jhodes Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The worst episode of the entire show. Not really but that is how I feel at the moment. The season is at the point where I'm just fed up with it.Exactly how I feel. Far from the worst episode for me, but still, not a good season so far.
