The Dance of Dragons

I can't even find a place to start. It was just that good. I can sense that people are going to be freaking out about a huge change from the books, but I don't even care. It was just such a good episode. I am shaking from hype. And to think, only one of the three things we're all anticipating happened. Imagine how the next episode is going to be. I don't even know what else to say. The only reason I'm still typing is because reviews require ten lines to be submitted. I thought the episode where Oberyn fought The Mountain would be hard to beat, but I was so wrong.

I don't need to explain any further why this episode was awesome. If you saw it, you know exactly why.

The only thing that the biggest show of violence on screen this week accomplished was giving us viewers a moment of shocking tension and bloodshed akin to the "Red Wedding" of season three.

Another intense episode. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time

Now, for starters, this was a very good episode, excellent in fact.

Just before the fourth season, the actors and the director gave us an indication how season four was going to be less focused on the ninth episode alone and that the season was going to have large plot movement all the way throughout the season. While i did not feel this was true in season four, this represents season five 100%.

As normal, the acting and the drama in this episode is holding up to the series standards, even more so!

In the previous seasons i have been, what can i say... Not as excited for the 10th episode, reason being the 9th installment. This season it is not the case at all. Having left Kings Landing untouched, i cannot wait for the 10th episode.

All in all, great acting from everyone involved, and it succeeds to keep us very much interested after the excitement of "Hardhome".

"Dance of Dragons" is not only one of the greatest episodes so far, but it left the audience very much exited for the 10th episode. Which IF there is something GOT have been lacking is exactly that.

I'm reading reviews that are all over the place. Apparently, some feel there are set of rules that can't be crossed. These folks should have stopped watching long ago. The series has pushed the envelope time after time after time. There's incest, sexual excess, nudity, graphic violence, on and on. The Game of Thrones is about power and the effects of power. When the little girl gets burned, many think the series has gone to far. It doesn't matter that numerous children have died in other episodes. What about the farm children that are the focus of Theon? This is a fiction and it's often about the worst of humanity. It's about every level of ambition possible. It is about people that see life as nothing, unless it's their own, and even then it's not valued. There are great scenes here. The final battle is quite amazing. Let's look at this series for what it is and stop imposing our own belief system on it. If you have very conservative views on this, it shouldn't be your cup of tea. I know that "it is what it is" is a cliché these days, but nothing is more apt. Also, quit comparing everything in the books to the film. Everyone knows that every adaptation that has been done is different from the final result. Hail "King of Thrones" for being honest and incredibly entertaining. I can't wait for the finale of Season 5.
