what happens

Duplicity and treachery...nobility and honor...conquest and triumph...and, of course, dragons. In Season 3, family and loyalty are the overarching themes as many critical storylines from the first two seasons come to a brutal head. Meanwhile, the Lannisters maintain their hold on King's Landing, though stirrings in the North threaten to alter the balance of power; Robb Stark, King of the North, faces a major calamity as he tries to build on his victories; a massive army of wildlings led by Mance Rayder march for the Wall; and Daenerys Targaryen--reunited with her dragons--attempts to raise an army in her quest for the Iron Throne.

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Early on it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“This is the happiest episode we've had in a long time! Arya's almost back with her family, Bran is getting better control of his powers, Daenerys sacked another city, and Robb's possible son is gonna be named Eddard! How great is this???”

4 of 10 with a score

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
