Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
TK Burton
[It] continues the show's remarkable ability to continue the narrative of the novel, while still narrowing its focus enough to create a common thematic thread.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
The episode does a nice job both setting up the swords-drawn cliffhanger, as Catelyn takes Tyrion into custody, and complicating our picture of him.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
Thus far, no episode hasn't been dramatically improved by the appearance of a direwolf. They are awesome - and still growing, apparently.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Devin Faraci
Production value is going to continue to be a struggle for the series, especially as we get to armies clashing, but as long as the character work remains as strong as this episode, I won't complain too much.
ComingSoon.net
Laremy Legel
The MVP of Game of Thrones,... we again see the complexity of Tyrion.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Cumming
The highlight of the episode was the jousting tournament, which was everything good about the series so far. Loud, dirty, expensive and excessively gory.
Den of Geek

It's all heating up. The only question is who will be left standing.
CraveOnline
Blair Marnell
It seems like we still have a lot of ground to cover. But Game of Thrones is the best HBO series in a long while and it's easily one of the most epic shows currently on TV.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
I felt this was the most solid episode to date, as we have come to know most of the major players. The less introductions, the better.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Adam Pasick
Best development of a great episode: I am starting to think that the blank-faced portrayal of Daenerys in the early episodes was more a dramatic ploy than bad acting.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
Game of Thrones is so far 4-for-4 with terrific closing scenes... and the stuff leading up to those closings have been pretty strong, too.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
Another strong episode. This show is proving increasingly adept at marrying subtle character development with addictive wham-bam plotting which makes it near impossible to resist getting carried along for the ride.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
"Cripples" was my favorite episode of the show so far, an hour that simultaneously feels more propulsive and more relaxed than the last three, as though the show is starting to unfurl its grand master plot, while also settling into the world it's created.
Los Angeles Times
Douglas Wolk
The most entertaining characters are the ones whose motives genuinely are opaque.
TV.com
Tim Surette
There may not have been many gasp-worthy scenes in last week's episode of Game of Thrones, but "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things", the show's fourth episode (and possibly the best one so far) sure gave us a few good ones, didn't it?
Newark Star-Ledger
Jenifer D. Braun
Things are about to get complicated. Wait, you thought it was complicated already? Oh, hahahahahaha.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
Welcome back. Thrones is once again stuffed with character moments, but also spices things up with snarling wolves, bathtub nookie, fighting and jousting, all winding up to next week when ... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Paste Magazine
Josh Jackson
Credit George R.R. Martin, along with screenwriters and casting directors for giving us women with the strength to challenge the misogyny of their fictional time and place.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
There was a ton of history shoved into this chapter and some of the scenes actually stood out a little bit as being a bit heavy with details.
