Warning: Spoilers
Soundtrack : (9.1/10) Dialogue : (8.9/10) Story : (8.5/10) Cinematography : (9.2/10) Character Development : (8.9/10) Conflict : (9/10) Excitement : (8.3/10) Reasonableness : (8.5/10) Overall : (8.8/10)

Pros :

  • the flashback scene was good and interesting. It explains many of Cersei's actions as she is afraid of the prophecy becoming true.


  • Tywin's funeral scene was equally good.


  • we meet the Sons Of The Harpy. A fine set up to this conflict. Especially that this conflict deals with killing and murder unlike all previous conflicts in Mereen.


  • Sam and Gilly's scene was nice. Ole training is nice as well. Stannis's meeting with Jon is even better.


  • We meet Ser Kevan and Lancel again. We get introduced to the high sparrows and the faith of the seven setting up a new conflict in Kingslanding.


  • Tyrion and Varys's scene was great. We finally know their next destination.


-Mance's death was amazing. The best scene in this episode. Such an interesting character. Jon Snow saving him from suffering was great.

Cons :
  • Loras's scene with Ollivar was dull. Although Margery's talk was good.


  • Daenerys's scene with Daario was mehh...


  • Cersei's flashback is inaccurate and is changed from the books.
