The Spoils of War

Well, this episode goes right at the top of the list for this season and among the top ones across all seasons.

The winter fell sequence is so emotionally satisfying and you would definitely be touched by the scenes there.

Well, coming to the title - 'Spoils of War', this war sequence is treat for your eyes. No words are enough to thank the writers, producers and directors of this show who bring us such magnanimous display on the TV. All I can say is when the war sequence ended, my heart was pumping hard and my body was shivering. You got to see it to feel it!

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.

One of the finest episodes of GOT. This episode just raised the expectation. Previous 3 episodes keep cersei ahead but mother of dragon took one episode to make it equal or go ahead. This episode surely a good execution of story line. Let's see what happens to the next episode. Expecting more from episode 5.

After the events of the previous episode the Lannisters have the funds to repay the Iron Bank; if Jaime can get it back to King's Landing. Arya arrives at Winterfell and is finally reunited with Sansa and Brandon. At Dragonstone John finds the dragon glass and once again asks Daenerys to help in the upcoming battle in the north; he also advises her not to attack the Red Keep... that doesn't mean she isn't going to attack the Lannister forces elsewhere.

I've enjoyed season seven so far but this episode manages to take things to another level. It started well with the first half being dominated by the reunion of Arya and Sansa. These scenes were suitably handled; at first the guards try to deny Arya access to Winterfell; then when she tells Sansa about her list of people she intends to kill her sister is mildly amused... until she sees what an accomplished fighter Arya has become when she spars with Brienne. Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Gwendoline Christie are great in these scenes. As good as that was there was better to come as Jaime and the Lannister army are attacked by the Dothraki horde and Daenerys, who is riding a dragon. This was one of the best battle sequences to date; it started gradually as first a gentle rumble was heard; it quickly built to a crescendo as battle commences and Daenerys's dragon burnt dozens of opposing soldiers when close combat lead to the sort of mayhem one would expect... it had the intensity one would expect from a big budget Hollywood movie rather than a mid-season TV episode. I have no idea how the series will follow up this episode but look forward to finding out.

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:-)
