The Dance of Dragons Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
David Malitz
We could use a little uplift these days. So it was nice to get some - quite literally - to end the season's next-to-last episode.
Washington Post
Alyssa Rosenberg
David Nutter, who directed this episode, did a beautiful job with the sequence in Stannis's camp, which took us through several successive losses of faith.
AV Club
Myles McNutt
"The Dance Of Dragons" is therefore a suitable thematic framework for this penultimate hour of Game Of Thrones' fifth season.
Observer
Drew Grant
None of this [character] aimlessness seems pointless: just the opposite. This season is leagues beyond the detouring of the fourth book.
Salon.com
Libby Hill
If I wanted to see the continual abuse and devaluation of women within modern patriarchal contexts, I would watch TLC.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
[The] convulsive episode, which included perhaps the most anticipated moment in the show thus far - Dany finally mounting her dragon - as well as the cruelest, just flipped the favorites in the ongoing murder derby that is the struggle for the Iron Throne
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
[The showrunners] made a hard choice - no doubt a foolhardy one in some eyes - to depart from George R.R. Martin's source material as dramatically as they've ever done.
Independent (UK)
Chris Bennion
People will no doubt brand me a silly person for saying this but if everyone in Game of Thrones could just stop dying for five minutes, that would be fab.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Charlotte Runcie
The books behind Game of Thrones are called A Song of Ice and Fire. If last week's episode was about ice, with the White Walkers finally revealing their unspeakable power, this week was all about fire.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
In a twisted way, it's to the show's credit that after five seasons of killing lovable people in awful ways, the audience can still experience deep shock and horror.
indieWire
Casey Cipriani
The scene with Nymeria and Tyene playing a game of quickness felt like the first genuine portrayal of the Sand Snakes this season.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
Shireen's death has been foretold for a long time now, but the foreknowledge didn't dull the pain or the horror of the actual scene, which packed an emotional wallop almost as hard as the Red Wedding's.
Hollywood Reporter
Aaron Couch
Can Game of Thrones get any darker?
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
I fail to see what the horrific immolation of a teenage girl added to the narrative in any way, shape, or form.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Forcing your heavily invested viewers to watch a little girl being burned at the stake isn't good television. It's a jerk move.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
Game of Thrones needs more people who understand that war is unmitigated hell and fewer people who think they have a divine right to rule or that they and they alone will be able to save the nation (yes, Dany and Stannis I am thinking of you).
Newark Star-Ledger
Vicki Hyman
I've been defending Game of Thrones against those who dismiss it merely as "that show about dragons" for years now... But Sunday night, it was also about the dragons.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
he best parts of "The Dance of Dragons" are the best parts of Game of Thrones. And with one episode left this season, it's too soon to give up hope just yet. Well for everything except Stannis Baratheon.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
Thrones has always excelled at giving us moments of terror and triumph, but seldom have the highs and lows ever been so extreme, or come so quickly on top of each other, than in the past few episodes.
TIME Magazine
Eric Dodds
The episode was at its strongest-and most heart-wrenching-when it focused on the stretch of land between Castle Black and Winterfell that Stannis Baratheon and Co. are currently inhabiting.
