What Is Dead May Never Die, S2 EP3 review
3 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Soundtrack : (9.5/10) Dialogue : (10/10) Story : (9.4/10) Cinematography : (9/10) Character development : (9.4/10) Conflict : (9.4/10) Excitement : (9.1/10) Reasonableness : (9.7/10) Overall : (9.4/10)

Pros :
  • The episode starts with a big reveal that the lord commander already knew what is going on with the babies. I love the irony that an honorable man needs the help of men that doesn't care about honor.


  • Brienne's introduction is really well done. The fact that a woman can defeat Loras Tyrell in a combat makes her interesting enough to follow. We can tell much of her from just one scene. Margery is great as well.


  • Theon betraying Robb adds much to his character and really develops him.


  • It's so sad seeing Sansa so heartbroken and sunk in her misery while forced to live with Cersei and Joffrey.


  • Shae serving Sansa is really entertaining.


  • Coming to the best scene in this episode. Tyrion's smart play shows how incredibly clever he is. Varys's reaction was gold. I love how he gets to pull off the funniest faces. Baelish getting annoyed on being played on says a lot about him.


  • Gods! The dialogue is perfect. Varys's talk with Tyrion holds one of the best dialogues in the show.


  • I love the relation between Cersei and Tyrion. Great conflicts arises between them which makes their scenes immensely better.


  • The ending is really good. RIP Lommy. And RIP Yoren, a true great character. His death develops Arya to a great extent. Their talk before the attack really affects Arya as from that day she starts to list before sleeping all the people she wants to kill.


Cons :
  • I disliked Renly and Loras's scene together in the bedchamber. I feel they could shortened the scene a bit.
