Game of Throne Season 2 Episode 5 “The Ghost of Harrenhal”

*Spoiler Alert*

Story:

In Harrenhal, Arya Stark is promised help by the mysterious Jaqen H’ghar, one of the three caged prisoners during her trip to the Wall. Catelyn is forced to flee from Renly’s camp. Theon sails from Pyke prepared to prove that he is a true Ironborn. The Night’s Watch arrive at an ancient fortress called the Fist of the First Men, where they intend to make a stand.

Review:

The episode continues the Renly-Storyline. After the smoke-monster-birth cliffhanger of “Garden of Bones” , the story of the smaoke monster continues. And the best part is that the episode starts with the murder of Renly Baratheon and the escape of Brienne and Lady Catelyn. The episode is not as weird as the previous one. Sadly this is the 5th episode, this means that only 5 more episodes left to the season finale. And these first five were awesome.

Yet not sign of Robb Stark, he only has been referred to by Lord Stannis. Arya and Stannis make a good couple. The look on Stannis’ face when Arya said “Any one can be killed” was epic! She is then promised 3 kills by Jaqen H’ghar.  And for the first time in Season 2 Dany is happy. And  the scene where Drogon roasts his meat is also epic! But her happiness doesn’t last for long, when the Warlock- Pyat Pree shows her the magic trick, and Xaro proposes mariage to Dany. And then things get awkward between Dany and Ser Jorah.

My only problem with this episode was the Jon Snow part. It felt like it was put there just for the transition. But then, it also shows Jon Snow being taken by Halfhand. Tyrion is as usual the best.

The end was just awesome, when The Tickler is pushed off the roof and that puts a smile on Arya’s face.
