16 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Soundtrack : (8.9/10) Dialogue : (9.1/10) Story : (9/10) Cinematography : (8.8/10) Character development : (9.4/10) Conflict : (9.1/10) Excitement : (9/10) Reasonableness : (9.3/10) Overall : (9.1/10)

Pros :
  • Arya's meeting with Thoros was great, setting up interesting characters with an interesting conflict in the end as they captured the hound and knew Arya'a identity.


  • Catelyn's scene was one of the best scenes in this episode as she mentions her relationship with Jon Snow along with giving their history. It's amazing that this was said to Talissa and not Rob for example as this results in enhancing Talisa and catelyn's relation.


  • The start of Theon's painful journey with a slight introduction to Ramsey.


  • Jaime and Brienne's scenes are always great and in this episode we get 2 of them. Although there is a thing that annoyed me which I'll mention in the cons part.


  • Sansa telling the Tyrells Joffrey's real personality was great and we can see how horrified Sansa is. Its mind blowing that even after the knowledge of how cruel Joffrey is Margery tends to get closer to him ny showing him her cruel side (holding the crossbow).


  • Jojen and Meera's introduction was great as something new happens to Bran to enhance his scenes as they are not always great.


Cons:
  • in the battle between Brienne and Jaimie, I wish that they had stuck with the books as in this scene Brienne takes on Jaimie easily unlike in the books where Jaimie's skill was too much even for Brienne as she barely takes on Jaimie. I know that Jaimie has a good excuse of not holding a sword for a long time and being a prisoner but for Jaimie being one of the best fighters it was more reasonable in the books.
