Finally, an episode where Jon Snow's storyline is the best. It seems like its been a while since we last go to see him kick some ass and actually kill some people. The ending is definitely the highlight, with the raid and the burning of Craster's Keep. I didn't expect Jamie's handslayer guy to die, his infiltration of the Knight's Watch seems pretty pointless in retrospect. Will the show ever let us see any of the Starks reunite? (Besides the creepy Aunt reunion)
Other than the raid, the rest of the episode is pretty static. It's a lot of scenes of Cersei trying to be nice to everyone to help her out with the trial. I miss Tyrion, who isn't featured in this episode and usually makes the King's Landing storyline a lot more entertaining. Hopefully we'll check back in with him next episode with the trial brewing. We're officially halfway into Season 4, so quick!
Grade: 7.5 (I was thinking 7.0 but decided to bump it up to 7.5 for that last kill)
Notes:
- We open to Cersei cockblocking Tommen and Margaery.
- It seems like Daenerys will never get to Westeros.
- Hey it's that creepy breastfeeding kid from Season 1 and his crazy mom.
- Did that kid just throw Littlefinger's gift down the hatch?
- Wow Littlefinger has done shadier things than I thought. So he's the one that poisoned John Arryn..
- Sansa's aunt wasn't kidding about that sex screaming.
- The Hound is still on Arya's list. He's right there Arya, he can hear you..
- Sansa's aunt got cray cray.
- Podrick's horse riding and rabbit cooking skills are the funnies.
- Arya's dance swordfighting is like ballet, I miss Syrio.
- Prince Oberyn has 8 daughters.
- The power of Hodor.
- "Lord Snow" *bow, readies both knives*
- Jon Snow did a fatality.
