Reviews (2)
Another pummeling and probably even more substantial, this time in Mereen. The gladiator arena like in Ridley Scott's ancient Rome, Ser Jorah from looser to indomitable hero (the emotional sparks between him and Dany burn through the screen) and the dragon finale. On top of that, Stannis has completely lost his mind and has become a character who simply must die. That still leaves Winterfell.

No, I don't know if the creators really thought it through, they gave up on the whole season and only packed the quality into two (or maybe three? we'll see) episodes. I praised the previous episode and I also liked this one. Stannis is still going through his Stalingrad, I even started to enjoy Arya's adventure in Braavos, and there was an interesting twist in Meereen where it turned out that every other inhabitant of the city belongs to the Sons of the Harpy, judging by their numbers.
