The Kings Landing hosts a wedding, and Tyrion and Sansa spend the night together. Daenerys meets the Titans. Davos demands proof from Melisandre. Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman.
What I Liked:
It is impossible not to be impressed by the high-quality production value. Again, acting all around is solid.
While there are many characters and arcs to establish, it is remarkable how this show balances them all, with no scene or storyline feeling dragged out or unnecessary.
Everything involving Tyrion and Sansa's wedding had a perfect combination of humour and awkwardness. I particularly enjoyed watching Tyrion threaten Joffrey and his reaction to this.
What I Disliked:
Cersei's threat toward Margaery was too overt, even by Cersei's standards. While not out of character, it lacked any subtlety and felt forced.
Overall:
Game of Thrones is back on track with a fantastic episode. You would be hard-pressed to find a show more tautly written and produced.
9/10
