Critics Consensus

What "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" lacks in forward narrative momentum it makes up for in cryptic callbacks, intimate moments, and the promise of imminent battle -- though some fans may find their patience tested. The things we do for love.

Welcome back, Ghost, Jon's direwolf. If all the humans are gone and your kind takes over, I'm sorta good with that.

Sure, it kinda felt like watching your parents have sex but good on Arya, she's a woman of many faces and now she's a bastard-king-in-waiting slayer.

Shout out to some other great character interactions including Ser Jorah Mormont and Lyanna Mormont sharing a scene together for the first time.
