I'm a fair bit behind on most TV shows at the moment, to the extent where I have only just reached episode nine of the third season of Game of Thrones. This is without doubt jaw dropping good, possibly the best episode of anything I have seen in years. I am so relieved I did not know about the twist in the final act, I absolutely did not see it coming.
Its a very clever episode, the fight half way through the episode and prospect of a number of characters with different plot threads finally coming together made me think that this was going to be a good episode for a certain family during this episode. Slowly the rug is pulled from under the the viewers feet in the second half of the episode and most of the characters in up in a worse situation than when the episode started.
One of the best aspects of this episode is the red herring of Casterly Rock which had been carefully set up over the season. Because of this as viewers we think we know whats coming, we think we can see the direction the show is going and perhaps even what the season finale is going to be. However at this point having not seen the next episode yet I don't know whats going to happen. The show has pulled a swerve, one of the main plot lines looks to be over and I don't know where the show will be going next...
