Warning: Spoilers
Soundtrack : (9.4/10) Dialogue : (9.4/10) Story : (10/10) Cinematography : (9.3/10) Character Development : (9.5/10) Conflict : (9.8/10) Excitement : (9.5/10) Reasonableness : (9.7/10) Overall : (9.6/10)

Pros :
  • the wildings attack was terrifying. A really fine start to the episode.


  • Reek is amazing. His arc is so interesting. The acting is phenomenal.


-Baelish manipulating these lords is fun. I love the tension that occurs when they question Sansa about Lysa's death. I really love Sansa's development.

  • Jorah's scene with Daenerys was great. The truth has finally been revealed. Poor Ser Jorah. What a heartbreak


  • Ramsey becoming a Bolton.


  • Arya's laugh is hilarious.


  • Jaime and Tyrion with an adorable nice little talk.


  • Oh my God what an ending. One of the best twists in the show. What a painful scene. The fight is full of tension and even the editing was great as we could understand everything that is happening in the fight. I love how slowly and gradually we get the hope of Oberyn living and we feel safe about that. Only so that in one second every hope flashes out and we end up with a brutal horrifying ending. I can't even rewatch the death scene from how painful it is.


Cons :
  • Greyworm and Missandie's scene was meh. I felt it was a bit too long.


  • the plot armor was a bit thick when Yigrette for some reason saved Gilly. Her having sympathy for the baby wasn't the best excuse.
