Featured review

An odd and quite small episode of Game of Thrones

For a while, I was thinking of not reviewing this episode at all since there’s nothing really mind-blowing about it, and upon first watching “Blood of My Blood”, I was rather disappointed with the episode, which is what I expected, coming off of last week’s near-perfect episode. However, when I sat down with my parents and watched it for a second time, I realised that this episode is much better than I remembered as it executes just about everything it does flawlessly and it really is a perfect example of how Game of Thrones is great at drama as well as violence and fantasy.
It dials back on the momentum that previous episodes had and lets its story lines take their time, making it a rather small & self-contained episode that mainly comprises of just three major story lines; Arya’s, King’s Landing’s and Sam’s. Also, it perfectly meshes humour & tension with Sam’s story-line whilst giving us a few surprises with the King’s Landing plot and it sets up an exciting next episode for Arya. We get surprise returns from three characters that have been absent from the show for years, and the episode ends on a spectacular note, reminding us why this show is so special.
Overrall, this episode is a neat little gem and while it won’t be remembered as one of Thrones’ greats, it’s still a fantastic episode that effortlessly blends fantasy and drama, whilst also balancing a few twists & turns with setup that makes me eager for the next episode.
My score for the episode: 9.6/10.
