The Ghost of Harrenhal, S2 EP5 review
3 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Soundtrack : (9.1/10) Dialogue : (9.3/10) Story : (9.3/10) Cinematography : (9.1/10) Character development : (9.3/10) Conflict : (9/10) Excitement : (9/10) Reasonableness : (9.4/10) Overall : (9.2/10)

Pros :
  • The episode starts with a shocking scene of Renly's death. Ughh... It's so sad that he died right after agreeing on teaming up with Robb, many things would've changed.


  • Cersei's scenes with Tyrion are always great.


  • It's fun seeing Tyrion torturing Lancel.


  • Comedy is used really well, when needed and doesn't feel forced by any means


  • Theon meeting his crew was amazing. The fact that he returns home just to be mocked on by his family, then his crew makes him so pathetic. This shows how it was a mistake betraying Robb. Theon tries to be another man that he just isn't.


  • Arya's face off with Tywin is amazing and full of tension. We can tell that Tywin really appreciates Arya.


  • Jaqen h'gar is amazing. It's so cool having the ability to kill any 3 people you name. This ability opens a new avenue that we have yet to discover.


-Brienne develops and decides to serve Catelyn in a great scene.

Cons :
  • Quarth needs more conflicts as Daenerys's arc isn't as interesting as it could be.


  • Many avenues opens up in Quarth such as the Warlocks and the Quaith that we never knew anything about and never will. So it feels wasted after watching the whole show.
