High Sparrow (S05E03)

The third episode offers a kind of gradual tightening of the noose. Things sparkle up north between Stannis and Snow – the highlight of this episode is undoubtedly the spectacularly chilling execution scene. The formation of the alliance in Winterfell is also interesting. The Arya storyline, on the other hand, is currently in decline. The attempts at a mysterious, spiritually Assassin element have failed so far, it doesn’t have atmosphere, originality, let alone pace. By the way, where are Brann and Hodor? (31/05/2017)

The third episode offered more of the same. It wasn't particularly entertaining, though I was glad to see Janos finally meet his end. The plot barely moved forward, Braavos was downright boring, and every conversation between Stannis and Jon hit the same dead end. Even Tyrion, who has drunk his way through three episodes, is starting to lose his charm. (14/12/2017)
