Season 1, Episode 7
9/10
"When you play the game of thrones you win, or you die. There is no middle ground."

You Win or You Die is another great episode so far and has gotten progressively better. The conversations continue to be interesting with some great tension especially the scene where Cersei Lannister and Ned Stark having a conversation about before she said this line.

"When you play the game of thrones you win, or you die. There is no middle ground." Lena Headley, the actress who plays Cersei Lannister in this episode, delivered that line in the most quiet and epic way possible. Kudos to the writers for creating that scene so great.

The story is still good, the rest of the performances are still great, the script is terrific, the pacing, while a bit slower, is still fine, and the music score is still great and suited the scene between Cersei and Ned really well with a sense of eerie and subtlety. So, overall, another great episode and this season might get progressively better once I review the last three episodes.
