Critic reviews for Oathkeeper
Between Jon and Bran, Craster?s Keep?aka, where Gilly and her non-zombified Ice Baby are from?is the new hot spot for unwanted Stark children. (Not including: Rickon, Arya and Sansa?Jeez, there are a bunch of Stark kids left, when you think about it!)
Hectic pace, too many characters and storylines per usual, but a well drawn roundup to build tension and push ahead.
The show has begun departing significantly from the books on which it is based, which means 'Game of Thrones' has more of an anything-can-happen feel than ever before.
I'll say a word in praise of director Michelle MacLaren. I don't recall her previous two Thrones episodes standing out much, but tonight she brought the assurance and panache that she so frequently bestowed upon Breaking Bad.
Last week, we were still reeling from the Purple Wedding, but things are picking up speed again.
The sacking of Meereen was far more effective theater than past Khaleesi conquests -- all of which had been yadda-yadda'd due to impossible budgetary demands -- thanks in part to ace director Michelle MacLaren.
