The exchange between Tyrion and Jorah was a good one. And it seems like King's Landing is quickly becoming pretty destabilized. King Tommen looks like such a tool right now.

I usually watch each new episode twice just to make sure I catch everything, and this was the first episode where I felt a little disappointed after the first viewing. This is mostly due to the bummer ending.

After the second viewing my opinion has changed and see this as a pretty strong episode.

Here are my favorite parts:

( Click to show/hide )


1) The scene between Tyrion and Mormont was very satisfying. I am liking that since the story has slowed down that we get to see some good character development such as this, and the relationship between Brienne and Pod.

2) At first I felt that Jaime and Bronn's infiltration of The Water Gardens of Dorne was a bit flimsy and rushed and the fight with the Sand Snakes a bit contrived and unbelievable. After a second viewing things didn't seem so incongruous. I LOVE the Sand Snakes even more when they are all armored up and fighting. Did anyone else notice that Tyene cut Bronn at the last moment of the fight? Has Bronn been poisoned?

3) Littlefinger is making more big moves as usual.

4) They Tyrell inquisition and the subsequent jailing is more strong in the show than in the books. It seems more believable and I am glad that Loras and Lancel are still somewhat main characters.

5) I don't think they could do Arya's story arc any better. Those scenes in the House of Black and White where taken right from my imagination and put on screen.

6) The Sansa/Ramsey/Reek scene was upsetting, but necessary. I have always liked Sansa and it was sad seeing her treated like that. There seems to be a lot of controversy around this, but somehow we have forgotten that poor Theon was tortured and had his weiner chopped off!

Book readers are in "green fields" just like the show watchers, so...

...the White Walker attack on Hardhome was a total and pleasant suprise. On many different levels GOT is setting a new standard for fantasy. It may be controversial, but the bad guys are actual real, bad guys that do terrible things. The Night's King and the entire Hardhome scene certainly reinforced the idea that the White Walkers are a mysterious menace that will be play into the outcome of the game.

Tyrion and Dany's conversation was outstanding!

As is often the case, I was in the mood to listen to a little Mastodon yesterday after that ever so satisfying GOT episode on Sunday. While perusing the reviews I ran across this: Music on TV: Inside Mastodon’s Epic ‘Game of Thrones’ Cameo - Speakeasy - WSJ

I find this funny since IMO Mastodon to be the musical equivalent of Game of Thrones...epic, complex, brutal... They barely had to find costumes and makeup for these guys.

Plus this just kicks major azz!

The episode "The Dance of Dragons" was probably the most brutal with the most disturbing death, but I think a lot of people got a huge payoff when

GoT is really testing my patience with this season. It almost feels like a burden to watch now. Especially after the key deaths in the past couple episodes, though I guess one was paid off almost immediately this week. Still a great show, just wish it wasn't quite so bleak. Having said that... I wonder if the character that dies at the very end of this week's episode is really gone. With what we know about faith and magic, is that really their fate? I almost wanted the last shot to be of the character blinking once right before cutting to credits. Maybe that's just me though...
