B+

More setup and machinations this week on Game of Thrones, with a few really great little scenes slipped in between the big reveals that should start paying dividends immediately.

A-

[A] fitting title in narrative terms; a lot of characters and plots are in a state of flux... But this is Game of Thrones, so an episode without a lot of 'big' moments is still a pleasure to watch.
