10/10
The Dance of the Dragons is Here
20 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The seeds of war have bloomed at last in this episode, as Alicent claws above the abyss that she has been forced down. She lights the way for The Greens, Ageons ascension, and what would eventually be half the realm. New alliances are being made and old ones broken, peace is corroding away, and Westeros has begun to crumble. The Dance of the Dragons is here, in what is so far, the best episode of the season.

This episode has the richest characterisation in the past five episodes. Ser Criston and Alicent's arcs this episode were flawless. The wedding was flawless. The score was flawless. "The Green Wedding" is very close to equaling the red and purple weddings.

"We Light the Way" was impeccable, and I'm very much looking forward to what's to come.
