Robert has sustained fatal injuries while hunting and is dying. Jon and the others finally take their vows to the Night's Watch. A man, sent by Robert, is captured after attempting to poison Daenerys. Furious, Drogo vows to attack the Seven Kingdoms.
What I Liked:
Cersei and Ned's scenes in this episode are both brilliantly constructed and tautly written, giving both Lena Headey and Sean Bean some of their best material on this show so far.
As usual, it is impossible not to be impressed by the high-quality production value, as well as the meticulous attention to detail. Again, acting all around is solid.
As with the previous episode, this one ends with a shocking cliffhanger, even with the foresight that Littlefinger is an untrustworthy individual and would eventually betray the Starks.
What I Disliked:
Littlefinger's scene in the brothel was off-putting and lacked any subtlety. It is not hard to surmise Littlefinger's motives; his exposition is unnecessary and trite.
Overall:
Game of Thrones continues to deliver fantastic episodes. Almost every episode has left me shocked and wanting more by the time the credits roll.
9/10
