Game of Thrones – The Prince of Winterfell
“The Prince of Winterfell” was slower than some of the previous episodes this season, but conveyed a more palpable sense of an impending doom. At its heart was a courtship that took its time to get to fruition, but also because many of its storylines led characters closer to a final showdown and not further. Amidst all that, the episode also saw many characters committing to others or to something, from Theon Greyjoy linking his fate to Winterfell, to Stannis Baratheon prematurely finding his hand (as in Hand of the king), and even Shae and Tyrion committing to each other.
