This is the one group and story line that I could not stand in the Game of Thrones television show because they brought the show down.

I like the bit where they talked about the size of a dwarf Willy

Well, it was definitely one of the weakest episodes of Game of Thrones.

The Arya's part was nicely visualized but was not interesting as far as written content goes, the story of that part is becoming quite boring and at times one asks what the hell is going on and why? A prefect example of excessive mystery and low content which leads to irritation.

The kings landing is still good, littlefinger is acting extra smart with his artifice and Cersei still believes she is extra smart. The faith part is fine as well.

The Tyrion part was a bit weird in the humor area. The Dorne part was unpleasant as far as fight sequence and acting of the sand snakes go, the dialogues were made even cheesier when delivered by the sand snakes. I wish they had taken in the right actresses and good choreographers or focused on other good characters left. They could have focused on Euron Greyjoy, casted Timothy Gibbs perhaps.

As far as Sansa part goes, one should know that violence is a part of the world which game of thrones encompasses and men or women, no one is immune to it, many characters have suffered a gruesome fate.Those who have seen the episodes sincerely and without prejudice will never complain that only female characters suffer or have suffered in this show. I am seriously upset that fans were angry about the last scene, what Ramsay did was expected of him, he isn't a noble man and Sansa was never the most clever or strong character, in other words after Ned's death it was a character which was a subject to other's will, and most of the time it never had much power over itself due to the situations she was in.

However, the thing which is becoming more and more irritatingly frequent with game of thrones is the cheap cliffhanger thing in the end which looks quite artificial. It seems like it's done just to shock in the end and frankly it looks and feels quite cheesy.

I will give it 8 because when you compare it with other TV shows, it is still better and they shockingly and easily score 8 or 9 here.

Lowkey when jorah gets told that his dad died all i can think about is how they ain't look that many years apart in age. Gotta do some research now. Besides that this episode is good despite being the worst rated for this season of GOT. Season 4 is hard to follow, but watching it all in order or at once makes it a lot more enjoyable/harder to find issues for me.

Poor sansa man. Love her so much i really do not understand how anyone can watch this show and see what she goes through and then decide that she's the worst or something. Like did we watch the same same show or??? Same with my girl Rhaenyra.

When Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken aired on HBO, fans of the show and the book series hated it for being more brutal and disturbing in comparison to the previous episodes. What's worse it that it received a 58% rating on Rottentomatoes. Ouch. However, I think that this is a pretty good episode. But before I can give it some praise, there are some problems I have with it.

In the previous episodes, the dialog was mostly good despite how slow the plot progression has gotten, but it's sad to say that the dialog here is really weak. It came across as too violent and disturbing particularly the ending sequence where Ramsay Bolton rapes Sansa Stark which came across as really unnecessary (which was the only reason why it received such controversy) and made me felt sorry for her. The second and third problems are the script and plot progression. The script does have some fine moments, but it lacks the spark that made the previous episodes (not to mention the previous seasons) so great. Also, the story did little to advance the story-arcs for the Lannister and Stark characters.

However, despite those flaws, everything else turned out OK. The performances, despite how weak the dialog was, are still good, the scenery, sets and costumes are still gorgeous, the music score from Ramin Djawadi is still fabulous and suited the atmospheric tone in some of the scenes really well, the directing is really good, and the editing is even more sharper this time around.

So, overall, Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken is by far the weakest episode of the entire season, but in spite of it's problems, it's still pretty good. :)

This episode is near the top of my list. We have several issues in motion. The biggest fact is that there is no invulnerability among any characters. Tyrion is no at the mercy of slave traders and Jorah is infected. Both are in about as tenuous situation as there can be. Cersei has embraced the Sparrows and has taken on Margery full force, having her cast into prison. She is still ruling the kingdom and Tommen is just a little boy, hopelessly out of his league. Theon still has a bit of nobility in him (though he always was a coward) and may have been pushed to the brink. Sansa has been given to Ramsay and he is doing what he always does. He is a delightfully awful character whom we grow to hate with each passing minute. Then there is the princess who has embraced her new life in a far off land and has fallen in love with a suitor. She is going to be hard to rescue, since her saviors are now captured and she is so resistant to being rescued. With Circei back home, one can only imagine. Also, Littlefinger has made a packed with the evil queen mother for his own gain. She is putting a lot of eggs in his basket. The closing scene is terrifying, but only because of the buildup. So many have suffered throughout this story, so Sansa is not going to walk through everything unscathed. Can't wait for the next episode.

My least favorite game of Thrones episode. While some parts of this episode are okay, it is dragged down by the poor writing and directing in Dorne, in addition to the horrible shot at the end of the episode. The remaining scenes of this episode aren't enough to make it even mediocre.

Mylod really performed poorly here, failing entirely to create suspension in the fight scene, nor make any of the scenes emotional or believable.

Not a good episode of GoT. Possibly the worst.

4/10 - Poor

This is what I've been waiting for this season! No debate the best episodes this season and one of the best acted in the entire series. The ending was almost unbearable to watch. True GOT fashion.

From what I can tell, the main complaints of this episode seem to be in regards to Sansa's rape. However I think this is just all-around a bad episode and stands out as being of far weaker overall than most episodes in the first 6 seasons. Pretty much every plotline in the episode is either boring, full of writing issues, or both. For some examples, Braavos is incredibly dull and confusing, the fight in Dorne is almost comical due to how poorly executed it is, Littlefinger's plan he tells to Cersei is inconsistent with previous actions, and Loras' trial with Olyver's decision to testify makes no sense. There are some okay scenes, like with Jorah and Tyrion, but I wouldn't say there are any genuinely good moments to redeem the episode from all its faults.

Arya is tested by Jaqen H'ghar in the House of Black and White and he tells that she is ready to become someone else. Tyrion and Jorah have a conversation about Daenerys and Jorah's father and how he was murdered by his own men; out of the blue, they are captured by pirates and turned into slaves. Little Finger stumbles with Lancei in King's Landing and has a meeting with Cersei and he plots against Stannis Baratheon and the Bolton. Jamie and Bronn are riding in Dornes and they meet Myrcella; however they need to fight against the Sand Snakes. Lady Olenna meets with Cersei to discuss the future of Loras Tyrell. He is judged by the High Sparrow and Margaery Tyrell is involved and arrested with her brother to a formal trial. Sansa marries Ramsay Bolton and he humiliates her.

"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" is one of the weakest episodes of "Game of Thrones". Arya used to be one of my favorite characters; however her segment in the House of Black and white is boring. Little Finger is annoying with Machiavellian schemes against everyone that is powerful making the viewer lost about his true intentions. Cersei's plots are also annoying. I did not read the book, but the last scene with the humiliation of Sansa by Ramsay seems to be totally unnecessary. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken"

I really loved how female centric this episode was. If only Daenerys was in it to legitimize it even more. And for the most part, it exemplified strong character moments for all of our favorite female characters. It turned out to be one of if not the best episode of the season so far. Game of Thrones has always been great at giving us backstabbing moments that actually make sense and don't feel forced, and I feel like this was a perfect example of an episode that focused on it. Plus, this episode definitely felt like the first step into the absolute chaotic second half of the season.

We began in Braavos where Arya continued her training into becoming no one. Even though Arya has probably had the least amount of screen-time out of the main cast members this year, her scenes at the House of Black and White have felt tedious. With that being said, the dungeon of heads or whatever was pretty cool. And I was glad to see that it seems as though her training is picking up a bit. Speaking of the Starks, Sansa had a big night, but not necessarily a good one. Anytime the show has a wedding, I get nervous for the characters. I half expected to Brienne to break up the party, or maybe even Theon. But what I was really hoping for was Theon killing Ramsay while he raped Sansa. It was heartbreaking watching Sansa go through something like that after all she has been through, and Theon's face seemed to signal him helping her. But she did have a great scene with Myranda in which she completely out smarted her and I'm sure eventually will prove that she will not be one of those 'dumb girls'.

Baelish arrived at Kings Landing to set another one of his schemes in motion. When he revealed to Cersei that Sansa was still alive, I thought for a second that he had bad intentions but in typical Baelish form, he had more up his sleeve. This time he wants to be named Warden of the North. That's something I would be okay with, as long as the Bolton's get what they deserve. Meanwhile, Cersei once again plotted against Margaery. It's been fun all season watching the two go at matching blows week to week. Putting her on trial with her brother for having homosexual experiences is pretty brutal. And it shows us again just how little power Tommen actually has.

Onto our favorite road trip duos, Tyrion and Jorah bonded over their father issues, that is until they were captured by slavers. I feel like the whole being 'captured on a road trip' thing is getting a bit annoying but at least the slavers are headed towards Meereen. If anything else, tonight was a great episode for these two and their scenes erase the brutal final scene. Where's Varys when we need him? Jaimie and Bronn arrived but ended up in a battle with the strange sand snakes. Bronn was another character I thought may kick the bucket tonight, thankfully he did not, and gave us the hilarious 'oh for fuc** sake line'. So now being over half way through the season, I'm very excited to see how the season ends. And hopefully the show delivers on many of the promises it's seemingly making.

+Road trip duos

+Cersei vs Margaery

+Baelish plots again

+Bronn

+Arya getting closer

-Theon should have redeemed himself

-I felt Dany's absence

9.1/10

I did not like the change in Sansa's story line at all! Maybe they wanted to make her story more interesting but they failed at that, I believe. What happened to Sansa was completely unnecessary, like she hasn't had enough! Why should she endure this? To become stronger? Utter crap!

I'd suggest to the writers to stick to the books and not to make such drastic changes to the events!

The fighting scene of the sand snakes was horrible as well, very poorly done, it felt like they did not even rehearse the battle choreography or something.

The only thing I liked was the progress in Arya's story. Nothing else.

What has happened to them this season? Are they in a hurry to wrap it up?

Sansa and Theon and Margery and Loras and Jaime and Bronn and Mormont and Tyron. Ramsay and Cersei and Ollena. A large circle of victims and masters. And the forms of captivity as simple calculations. The hero - Arya in working for build her future in precise manner. A beautiful episode. About fate and dark interests and forms of freedom.
