    Ever got the feeling of going nowere?
    Well, this series does just that. We are on season four and every episode introduces new characters and leave subplots unsolved. The episodes are still very slow for a series with only 10's per year. Of course we love the violence and the sex, but I bet you can't remember half of the characters names.

    Season 4 Episode 4 is the point at which HBO decided to milk the battered dugs of Westeros for all they are worth. It might seem surprising that after all the gratuitous sexual violence depicted before, this episode sets a new level. Up to this point, the formulaic sexual abuse was kept within bounds, especially compared to the books.

Up to this point, the formulaic sexual abuse was kept within bounds, especially compared to the books. The memorable thing about Season 4 Episode 4 was the moment the writers didn't bother to write any more. They could have depicted the horrors of Craster's Keep with a little dialogue and subtle direction, but why bother when the audience will applaud naked women being beaten up and raped in the background? Rape has stopped being a taboo; it has become shorthand for a Very Bad Person badge. The closing shot is of a baby being turned into some kind of creature of ice;why wasn't the baby hurt? Because that would have viewers reaching to switch off their TVs and complaining. If it had been a woman, she'd have been raped and beaten first. Rape and violence towards women is made casual, a backdrop in this situation, because it is supposed that viewers accept it - that they in fact, enjoy it. If you are the kind of person who googles for pictures of the Steubenville rape, and think it's all a fuss about nothing, carry on, this episode will make you feel ready for another snuff movie.… Expand

    Slow and boring cant watch it having the feeling that the world stop spinning.It's just a talkshop that actors talk meaningless dialogues and do over- acting so some sponge minded simpletons thing this is the greatest show ever.

    It was slow and boring and I am not really into these types of shows. I'd rather have a live action Call of Duty.
    I feel that this show does not meet the potential that it has shown to post-viewers via advertisements and other ways of attention.

    This narrative pokiness is redeemed, as usual, by the machine-tooled professionalism of the production, the lavish attention to the mock-medieval costumes and setting, and the mostly crisp, understated acting by the international cast.... More than ever, though, you may find yourself impatient for the plot to wind around to the more engaging story lines.

    The acting is delightful, the visuals are sumptuous, the stories couldn't be more surprising.

    The storytelling seems to have hit a new peak of relaxed confidence. In every scene you get a sense of steady forward motion. New characters are introduced and old characters deepened, and devious new plots are laid out so deftly that it's not until midway through episode three that you look back over everything that came before and laugh at yourself for not having seen a particular surprise coming
