I'm still trembling, even though this episode is over... [it's] an episode that was better than I expected, even if I had to fight my way through the gore of Battle of the Bastards.

Blackwater, the best hour of the season and possibly of the series altogether, bore down concentratedly on King's Landing and those trying to defend and take it, and it was astonishing.

It was a daring, action-packed episode that captured epic war at its most intimate and revealing moments.

The fallout from "Blackwater" will not only shape the next season, but also act as a marker for what Game Of Thrones is capable of at its very best. Magnificent.
Rated: 5/5
