And on it, the GOT guests have been saying episode 10 is the big one for this season. Here's some clips from Thronecast:

That's the thing that bothered me - they don't seem to be formidable enough, or numerous enough, to even make a dent in the Unsullied troops. Most of them seemed to get killed off in the last battle. How did they suddenly get so big and strong?

"poor" Stannis, guy is already having to use the "sacrifice your daughter" card and he hasn't even made it out of the North yet. I guess he's hoping that the Sacrifice has built up some credit for when he gets to King's Landing.
Although really, King's Landing is in such turmoil right now, pretty much anyone could come in and take it.

i liked the episode, but it just didn't have the punch of last week's. stuff was bouncing all around, there seemed to be poor editing. stannis is a heartless bastard. hope he gets what's coming to him for that.

To be fair, most of the stuff discussed on the show is not something that's going to be fixed overnight. For example, I don't expect the United States bail system to change any time soon.

That's a good point. Getting people's attention is good, even if just a few people take it to heart. He should follow up on that chicken farmer vote from a few weeks ago though.

I wonder if Tyrion ever thinks about what life would be like NOT fighting/running for your life? He hasn't been in Essos long and he's already: been kidnapped, nearly turned into a stone statue, sold into slavery, and now people he doesn't even know (and who don't even know him) are trying to kill him!

That makes sense, but I've watched the scene multiple times, and all I see is Jorah looking grim, his flinging the spear, then Dany getting knocked out of the way by whatshisname and the spear hitting the harpy behind them. Was the issue that the harpy wasn't supposed to be in the royal box at all, and his mere presence made him a threat with ill intentions?

I too am disappointed that the Unsullied are so easily taken down even if this was supposed to be an ambush of some sort.
I'm self rationalizing that the Harpy's are hiring sell swords to fight for them or at least with them. That's how I'm thinking of it until the show explains how this is happening.

I too will use that rationalization.. that will help me sleep better at night - these guys stood toe to toe with a F'n Dragon like they were professional dragon slayers - chucking spears at it....
No one has seen a dragon in hundreds of years - everyone should have been running for their lives!!

this show is asking serious questions about what we should consider "entertainment" to be. I don't think it's ever pushed the limit this far. The degradation the show subjected sansa to a few weeks ago was unnecessary. This episode became simply sadistic. The careful way they set up shireen... I don't appreciate the manipulation.
It didn't help that this episode was almost entirely shit beginning to end.
The stuff in dorne continues to plod along haphazardly. Dorne also continues to make no sense at all.
Arya's is the worst faceless person ever: We're supposed to believe that she's learned something while she bumbles around?
The wall was an anti-climax.
The fighting pit stuff was pretty good but it was extremely crass to put a big action scene complete with "epic" music after the screaming, horrible death of a child.
I don't want to be one of those "never watching this show again" people but i have to say that i'm genuinely offended tonight.
