Did the biggest event this season happen in the second episode? As far as Game of Thrones characters go, King Joffrey is the worst of the worst. He is inexplicably evil, takes pleasure in pain and violence, and a straight up brat. In a universe where almost every character is complex and shown multiple sides, Joffrey is the exception. From episode 1, he was a character that everyone hated; with good reason. Personally, I've been looking forward to see him die for a long time. Now that ITS FINALLY HAPPENED, I think I'll miss his character in the show, as no one was as easily despisable as Joffrey. This episode reminded us of that, and let him do what he does best (be awful; especially toward Tyrion) one last time. He was the best representation of a character that was rotten to the soul in the Game of Thrones universe, which is no easy feat. R.I.P. Joffrey, the best at being the worst.
Rating: 9.0
Notes:
The opening scene with Ramsay chasing the girl reminded me of The Hunger Games, especially with the line "If you make it out of the woods, you win!".
Ramsay found a girl as crazy as he is.
Tyrion and Jamie have a good sibling relationship #bros
Joffrey does not like being gifted books, likes swords.
Tyrion uses the tough love approach, "You're a whore!".
Melisandre is back, the night is dark and full or terrors.
Bran is going too deep into inception.
Margaery has elaborate wedding hair.
Oberyn and Lorys were eyeing each other hard.
Jamie and Cersei each had their own scenes where they were defending their territories. That twincest connection/jealousy.
Oberyn with that smack talk.
Wow Joffrey's play. And Tyrion, the cupbearer.
Look, the pie!
Props to actor Jack Gleeson, he was perfect at playing Joffrey.
