This one was a tough one for me .  The episode as a whole was good, but the final scene just didn't do it for me .  Not that it was bad. I just wanted a different ending.  The episode for me revolved around the small council scene.  Dialog ripped damn near verbatim from the book combined with amazing acting, the norm for this series, made for just an extraordinary scene.  What I would call a Scene Awesome.  So like I said my only gripe was the final scene, and maybe Ser Jamie showing up at Kings Landing a little earlier than I expected but overall a good episode to cap of an amazing season.  Get here fast season four, we need you.

P.S.

Rumor has it we are going to finally get to meet the Red Viper next season.  Here's looking at you Oded Fehr.

The Rains of Castamere

First of all this was not the best episode of the season.  It was however the most anticipated.  I remember reading the Red Wedding and throwing the book across the room.  I didn't pick it up for two days, bound and determined to stick it to Martin, a silly attempt to make him feel the pain I was feeling.  I remember thinking "I could handle Ned's beheading ,but this, this you sadist has made me draw a line in the fucking sand."  Thankfully, I picked it back up and finished reading.  So to say I was looking forwards to this episode may be a tiny bit of an understatement.

Take the Wedding out of this episode and it was pretty good on its own.  The fight in Yunkai with Dario, Grey Worm, and Jorah was pretty cool.  Watching Grey Worm rock the spear was delicious, and the look on Jorahs face when he had to tell Danny that in fact Daario lived (much to his chagrin).  However as good as the rest of the episode was it was nothing but build up and filler for the main event, the Red Wedding.  From the word jump Walder Frey makes your skin crawl and even before the events that claimed the King of the North readers and non-readers alike had a sense of hatred for him, a testament to both the actor and the writers.  Another actor who has flat nailed it this season is Tobias Menzies.  His portrayal of Edmure Tully, especially in episode nine, has been excellent.  The look on his face when he realizes he's not about to marry some Frey monster made my night.  I also loved the fact that they threw a bone out to the readers and included, semi prominently, good ole Wendel Manderly.  If you don't know who he is I feel bad for you, because you have not read the book and hence haven't lived.  The rest of the Wedding is self explanatory and I'm to gonna touch on or critique.  Let's just say I found it to be everything I wanted it to be in almost every way, a certain head swap I think being held off until the finale notwithstanding.

Second Sons

Three or so weeks ago I told you how I had just watched the greatest episode of Game of Thrones.  Well last night I may have watched the greatest episode in television history. And with all hyperbole now set aside allow me to expound.  

From the beginning of season one the acting on this show has been its strong point and in this episode it shined.  The way Lena plays Cersie , the way we can feel her bitterness taste her seething.  You could have been watching this show for the first time and known beyond the shadow of a doubt how much she hated Margaery. Jack Gleeson has turned whiny turd Joffrey into megalomaniacal Joffrey making him the actor who in my humble opinion needs to be looked at come awards season,  and these are only two examples of greatness in a series, in an episode full of amazing actors and actresses.  Even some of the characters who are not getting as much screen time, or only their one moment of screen time, are coming to work.  Rory McCann has taken the Hound and turned him into possibly the greatest antihero of all time, and Mark Killean didn't just steal the show as Mero he was never caught.  Some say he parachuted out of a plane in the Northern Pacific backwoods , whether or not he still lives is uncertain.  All in all I'm just riding a high after watching and then rewatching the episode. Pausing of course during the second best bath scene...ever.
