The Children Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
In the end, "The Children" is the epitome of season four as a whole: wildly entertaining and dramatic, never lacking in pathos, but sometimes slacking on establishing motivation and making those stories emotionally resonant.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
This season finale, "The Children," went in a lot of directions to attend to a lot of business.
Observer
Drew Grant and Noam Cohen
The weird thing about Arya is that she actually keeps making the right decision, but not because she has all the facts. (It's almost like someone is writing her story for her?!)
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
Making good on its title, this was a well-paced and brutal conclusion to what has proved a fascinating season.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
The Game of Thrones showrunners say "The Children" is the show's best finale ever -- if not the best episode ever -- and it's capping what many (including myself) believe is the show's best season ever.
indieWire
Danny Bowes
It ends the season on just the right note for the kind of popular entertainment Game of Thrones is: A familiar, unsubtle image with positive pre-existing associations, a major key emotionally speaking.
Washington Post
David Malitz
"The Children," the fourth season's finale, was a strong send-off that had a little something for everyone.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
In Game of Thrones, the drama of the parent and the child is the alpha and the omega; it's the bedrock of everything else.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Whereas past Thrones finales have dealt primarily with fallout from previous episodes, this one was chockablock with often shocking set pieces and new dimensions.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
Scattershot? Sure. But we come to Thrones, foremost, to gorge on plot -- and I feel more than satisfied.
Chicago Sun-Times
Lori Rackl
This satisfying season capper packed more of a punch... than usual. Not only did it manage to devote the right amount of time to key members of TV's largest ensemble cast, it accomplished what a great season finale should do: It left you wanting more.
AV Club
Erik Adams
There's a sense of optimistic possibility that permeates the end of "The Children," one that doesn't square with the ravages of season four but still manages to send the show into hiatus on an appropriate note.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
It's unclear what's next, both for Game of Thrones as it attempts to follow up its best season... Only one thing is certain: The temperature is finally dropping and we all know what comes just before winter. The fall.
The New Republic
Esther Breger
Sunday night's episode is titled "The Children," and whoever that ends up referring to -- an interesting story for Bran, finally? -- it seems like a fitting ending for a season advertised with the slogan "All men must die."
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
Sometimes Game of Thrones is a widescreen epic fantasy, other times it's a small-scale study of violent lives. At its best -- and "The Children" is certainly this show at its wide and wild best -- Game of Thrones is all of these things, simultaneously.
Los Angeles Times
Alan Eyerly
Far beyond the Wall, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) reaches his mystical destination on "The Children," the Season 4 finale of HBO's epic fantasy Game of Thrones.
Newark Star-Ledger
Joseph Hannan
The pivot point of this season was the theme of justice. And we found justice in death, delivered by those strong enough to deal in death.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
So much of the episode goes to the heart of the drama, the conflict, the plot and characters of Game of Thrones.
Denver Post
Joanne Ostrow
High drama on the throne, Iron and otherwise. The special effects were the least compelling aspect of the GoT season finale, a very satisfying finish.
Independent (UK)
Neela Debnath
While "The Children" was a sterling close to a season that has been filled with more twists than the staircases of the Red Keep, it didn't quite live up to the hype or Emmy submissions.
