Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
The Greens

Warning: Spoilers
After the expertise of episode 4 I had concerns about whether episode 5 could top it. It certainly did.

We Light the Way is the best episode yet in the tradition of the world its set it this wedding did not go well.

I saw someone call it the Green Wedding and I think that is a perfect name for it. The beacon of Hightower burns green for war and this wedding marks the true beginning of the Dance of Dragons.

This episode executes two important character shifts, that of Ser Criston Cole and that of Alicent Hightower, and it does so perfectly.

The Greens have come into play, the rift between Alicent and Rhaenyra has become irreparable.

It only gets better from here.
