Kissed By Fire doesn't live up the high standards left by And Now His Watch Is Ended, but it's still another great episode for Season 3. My only quibble is that the pacing's a little bit too long, but again, it doesn't matter and everything else holds up fine.
The story/script is still well-written, the performances are still solid, the directing and editing is still sharp, the music score's still beautiful, the relationships continue to shine, and the story-arcs for the Stark and Lannister family continue to be interesting and makes you want to see what's in store for them next. So, overall, not nearly as excellent as episode 4, but still great. :)
