The Rains of Castamere Ratings & Reviews
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
This episode was about arguably the biggest event of the entire book series to date - and at that, it does a devastating job at executing it... leaving our mouths agape as the credits rolled in silence. What an episode.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
The end of season 3, then, spent some time... giving the audience a chance to soak in the shock, seethe at the winners' glee, and get a reminder of the larger forces.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
In the case of "Baelor," the execution of the execution was so flawless that it ultimately didn't matter that I knew what was coming.
Pajiba
TK Burton
So many threads, once loose and frayed, at last are brought together, and the characters do not escape unscathed.
Flavorwire
Alison Herman
The last ten minutes of that episode really did happen, it's time to process just what makes "The Rains of Castamere" so significant beyond mere shock value.
The Mary Sue
Rebecca Pahle
Fellow Game of Thrones fans, do you need a hug? Some comfort food? Tea or hot chocolate? How 'bout a blanket? A non-red one, of course.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ross Jones
The way the carnage was shot - as a mass of brown shapes furiously hacking away at other brown shapes - made for the grimmest television you'll see all year.
indieWire
Katie Walsh
So is everyone as horribly traumatized by episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere" as I am?
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
Tonight Thrones reached a crescendo of sorts.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
The Red Wedding is a bravura scene, but it goes so quickly... It feels like it's over within seconds, even though it takes a few minutes. It's awful and horrible and everything the sequence needed to be, and it marks a new high watermark for the series.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
Benioff, Weiss, and director David Nutter deserve applause for how slowly and artfully they, uh, twisted the knife. The sequence of transitional shots remains indelible even the morning after.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
Whether you came to this episode blissfully unspoiled or spent the last three years anxiously awaiting it, the impact was still absolutely punishing.
Newark Star-Ledger
Brian Stitt
No other show can rip your guts out quite like this one. That isn't meant to be glib considering what happened to the future of House Stark tonight.
Observer
Drew Grant and Noam Cohen
Last night packed enough developmental and emotional wallop to outdo even the first-season climax of Ned Stark losing his head. So please ... just a moment of respect.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
As in last season's penultimate episode David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who wrote the episode, and David Nutter, who directed, crafted an hour that felt tighter than most, with a consistent mood and tone that escalated beautifully.
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
So is everyone as horribly traumatized by episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere" as I am? We can work through this together. Recap therapy. We can do it. Yes, once again Game of Thrones lived up to its Penultimate Episode Promise of being crazy insane.
Hollywood Reporter
James Hibberd
Tonight Thrones reached a crescendo of sorts... I don't think it's hyperbole to say it's one of the most shocking, brutal and disturbing sequences ever put on television.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
The blood-drenched wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey was the harrowing centrepiece of a strong episode, albeit an episode with the occasional misstep.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
What's most interesting to me as this third season of Game of Thrones bleeds out all around us is the way its creators are playing with more than just television storytelling conventions. They're playing with storytelling itself.
AV Club
David Sims
As a work of gripping serial television, how was this episode? It's almost impossible to grade, much like all of Game Of Thrones' big event episodes. But I think it worked pretty darn well.
