This might be so far the most satisfying season of this
epic fantasy series from HBO. Again it’s
impossible to write about this kind of show without spoilers. I’ll only say there are a lot of surprises
and many changes. Tyrion must suffer his
new life, not as the Hand of the King, but as a pawn in family politics. Ayra must learn to endure The Hound in order
to survive. Jon Snow must decide if he’s
a Watcher or an ally of the Wildings. Daenerys learns her first lessons as a
ruler of a city. David Benioff and D. B.
Weiss have really increased the stakes and pushed this television show into
cinematic proportions. The ninth
episode is glorious in is scale and execution.
At this point it’s clear we’re watching a classic of the medium, the
kind of show we’ll be talking about for a long time. The interesting thing for me is that George
R.R. Martin hasn’t finished his series yet.
Hopefully he’ll get the next book out soon or I don’t know what Benioff
and Weiss are going to do. Grade: A
