This will be my first Game of Thrones review, and I'm quite excited about it. Please note that I haven't read any of the books.

Pre-episode thoughts: I want more Daenerys, and I want more dragons; the whole five minutes of show that she got last episode was good, but give me more.

I can see Sam and Gilly's storyline being quite interesting; I think she should've stayed with him at the Night's Watch, and that's probably what the producers want us to think about it, because I can see some not-so nice situations arise between her and her new lodgings.

There's so many things that I want to see in this next episode, but I'm impatient, so I want to see them all happen right now.

Last things before I watch the episode and post my re-cap and spoiler laden review below:

Episode Four: Oathkeeper

Okay. Okay. Okay. It was everything I wanted, and I was given some things that I didn't even know I wanted, but now I want more of. Like I said, I wanted more Daenerys, and I was given it, although no dragons. *spoiler* I have heard from people that Daenerys hasn't left the islands in the most current book.

I enjoyed the scene between Jamie and Brienne, it was quite touching, and I like how the title of the episode was from what she'd called her sword, "oathkeeper", quite nobel, instead of a vicious "king slayer". It was nice.

I forgot that Bran was alive, honestly forget all about him, and you can definitely tell he's a lot older now, the voice was different, and for some strange reason, I noticed his nose had grown. As always, Hodor had some amazing pieces of dialogue, with just so little he can say so much; he stole the episode.


The ending was my favourite part of this episode, and it's my favourite scene.

Favourite Scene

There was quite a few to choose from, but that ending... I had wondered what they were doing with the male babies, and now I know. I hadn't really thought about it until that scene, and now I can't stop. I want to know who they are, what they're doing, whether they want the throne... who knows! They look bad-ass though!

Have you watched it?
What did you think?
