God damn WHAT AN EXCELLENT EPISODE!!!
After last week's low point episode, THIS WAS THE WAY TO GO FOR THE SERIES. Every scene (perhaps except for Tyrion/Varys) was excellent!!
I make the exception for Tyrion/Varys scene because it started very well, Varys telling Tyrion his story of how he was castrated, but ended bad when Varys showed he already had captured the magician.... Not only did I didn't enjoy it because it is not in the books, but because it makes the scene, mainly Varys' dialogue, loose impact.
But every other scene was so good damn good!!! Dialogue-wise, the best scenes where Cersei/Tywin and Lady Olenna/Varys. One could really enjoy the acting, mostly Dianna Rigg's, but all the actors and actresses really know how to get into their characters.
Also, D.B. Weiss and D. Benioff where wise enough to give us a scene of almost every character.
But my highlight (and I think everybody's) was the episode finale, starting with Craster's Keep, ending in Astapor.
The development of the scene in Craster's Keep was spectacular, from the tense atmosphere to the catalystic act of the Black Brothers.
And then...that gorgeous, marvelous, beautifully crafted scene of Astapor... I was really astonished by the level of production and the awesome special effects they used.
In a nutshell, of this episode, all I can say is: PERFECT!
