Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Bran trains with the Three-Eyed Raven. In King’s Landing, Jaime advises Tommen. Tyrion demands good news, but has to make his own. At Castle Black, the Night’s Watch stands behind Thorne. Ramsay Bolton proposes a plan, and Balon Greyjoy entertains other proposals.

Our Take

A busy hour that finally gets the plot moving in several spots at once, with Tyrion’s scene in the crypts standing out as the real highlight. The Iron Islands stuff drags a bit and feels like a detour, but the ending delivers the payoff fans have been waiting for. Solid, if slightly scattered, entertainment.
