After two slightly slow episodes, this season of Game of Thrones is picking up full speed. Now the storylines are really starting to engage me.

Came to 'Game of Thrones' fairly late in the game and due to being so busy the binge-watching was gradual. Have found myself truly loving the show, very quickly becoming one of my favourites. It totally lives up to the hype and not only does it do the brilliant source material justice (a rarity in television) it is on its own merits one of the finest, most addictive and consistently compelling shows in recent years and quality-wise it puts a lot of films in recent years to shame.

There is less of a still settling feel here in "High Sparrow" than there was in particular the Season 5 opener "The Wars to Come", as far as previous episodes of the season go, which is a good thing. By all means, it doesn't fully explode, it is not the most action packed or pace-wise exciting of episodes and in comparison to other episodes not a lot feels like it's progressing forward.

"High Sparrow" nonetheless scores very highly in making the characters interesting, the very adept handling of weaving all the different subplots together and introducing new characters and events promisingly set up. The standouts here are the High Sparrow introduction and the whole storyline with Jon, which has a lot of tense unpredictability.

All the acting is strong, 'Game of Thrones' always delivers when it comes to the acting. Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington in particular.

Visually, "High Sparrow" looks amazing, as one would expect for 'Game of Thrones'. The scenery is throughout spectacular, the sets are hugely atmospheric and beautiful on the eyes with a real meticulous eye for detail and the costumes suit the characters to a tee. The make-up is beautifully done. The visual effects are some of the best of any television programme and are not overused or abused, the scale, the detail and how they actually have character and soul are better than those in a lot of the big-budget blockbusters. As well the cinematography and editing, which are cinematic quality as well.

One cannot talk about "High Sparrow" without mentioning the thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically multi-layered music scoring and the unforgettable main theme. Again, worthy of a high-budget fantasy/action/drama film.

It is hard not to be bowled over by the quality of the writing, outstanding isn't a strong enough adjective to describe how good the writing is once again. It always has a natural flow, is layered and thought-provoking and demonstrates a wide range of emotions. The story is still riveting, with plenty of passion and sensitivity.

To sum up, a very good high flying episode indeed but not a 'Game of Thrones' favourite. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I have to tell you guys about what I felt during watching this new season's several episodes. Well, this new season seems to lose a lot of steam, not like what we have seen before. What we got so far:

1. Not even one episode really showed any potential to become great as before.

2. Nothing but talk, talk, blab, blab and blab. Uninteresting dialog continued to an unbearable point.

3. The storyline suddenly seems to lose focus on many important things that we want to know when Season 4 ended, but so far, I just failed to see any development to keep my concentration going further.

Comparing this Season to the last four Seasons, it like watching two singing competition shows: If you never watched NBC 4 "The Voice" but only knew Fox 11 "American Idol", you would consider the latter is quite good, and those singers are pretty good, but, alas, once you watched "The Voice", then suddenly you know that all the singers on American Idol are not good enough, they are at a much much lower level than those singers on The Voice.

To me, Season 1 to Season 4 of "Game of Throne" is like "The Voice", while Season 5 is like "American Idol"; without knowing how great the last 4 seasons were, Season 5 maybe still looked good enough, but definitely not great so far.

I just hope the coming episodes would become better, but really doubt it.

Arya is serving Jaqen H'ghar cleaning the House of Black and White and not as his apprentice as she expected to be. Cersei comes to the marriage of her son Tommen and Margaery in King's Landing and he discloses that her mother asked him to not trust anyone. He asks Cersei whether she misses Casterly and then she meets Margaery. In the North, Theon listen to the conversation of Cerwin Roose Bolton and his son Ramsey about the best way to control the North through marriage. Little Finger and Sansa Stark head to Winterfell and he discloses his scheme against the Bolton, marrying her with Ramsey to seek revenge. Brienne follows Sansa and Little Finger and tells his life to Podrick and she tells that she will teach him how to fight. She also tells that she wants revenge against the death of King Renly. In Castle Black, Jon Snow meets Stannis and refuses his invitation to be the Lord of North. He tells that he will follow as Commander of the Night Watch. Stannis advises him to get rid of his enemies in Castle Black. Arya Stark throws her possessions away but the Needle that she hides in the rocks by the sea. Sansa arrives in Winterfell and Ramsey courts her. Jon Snow executes his enemy Lord Janos that refuses to obey his order. The group of High Sparrow promotes attacks sinners in King's Landing and Cersei meets High Sparrow and makes a deal with him. Tyrion is abducted in a brothel.

"High Sparrow" is the greatest episode so far of this Fifth Season. All the segments are important and show the search of power by many characters. Cersei makes a deal with High Sparrow giving power to his fanatic group and controlling King's Landing. Jon Snow follows the advice of Stannis and gets rid of his greatest enemy in Castle Black. Sansa begins to follow the Machiavellian plot of Little Finger to retrieve the lands of her family. Arya is finally accepted to serve the Many-Faced God. My vote is eight.
