The Spoils of War

I love this episode so much that I hate the downhill started from there !!!

A tremendous episode! It features a rather interesting and rather intimate moment between Jon and Daenerys. An unexpected and quite entertaining action sequence also occurs between Arya and Brienne. And Jon Snow encounters still another familiar face.

But this episode will mostly be remembered for the simply amazing battle at the end.

The spectacular and horrific battle sequence had me on the edge of my seat. Never have so many of our favorite characters been placed in so much peril-- including the dragon. The epic battle scene was both astonishingly beautiful and shocking as soldiers on both sides fall victim to the cruelty of war from the ground and from the air.

Ironically, in an earlier conversation, Bronn discusses the myth of the 'glory' of war. Unfortunately,his point is suddenly illustrated when he and Jaime suddenly find themselves enveloped in an absolutely terrifying battle which will probably psychologically scar these characters for life-- if they survive:-)

I knew Game of Thrones was good, and I slowly became a fan recently, but I was reserved in how much of a fan I was...until tonight. I now officially love the show. Anyone who has not seen it yet and who are only watching shows like the Walking Dead are missing out. This is the Walking Dead on steroids and much much better. It's a great show.

This is the moment so many have waited for for years. Let's hope they can keep them coming like this.

All has been said about how GOT has been losing its quality since season 4 and I kinda agree to some extent but you also have to keep in mind that the show is about to come to an end and they have to rush certain things. And as long as they keep pulling up episodes like this I have no problem how the writer deal with things.

The spoils of War is certainly one of the best episodes this series has put up. Certainly topped Hardhome and is on par with Battle of the bastards and Winds Of Winter(tho I think The children and Rains Of Castamere are both on another level). What this episode does is it puts war in the center with political aspects on the background in a classic game of thrones way. And with one of the best CGI and action sequence the creator pull off yet another masterpiece which shall make what's to come more interesting and nail biting.

Easily just as great as the Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter. Action packed from the beginning to the end. It will be hard for the following episodes to compare to this one. If they are remotely close or better, we are in full a ride for the rest of the season. Can't wait till the next episode, to see how this is going to play out. The spoils of war is only 50 minutes, what are the hour + episodes are going to bring? 10/10 easily
