Game Of Thrones "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" Review



Ladies and gentlemen it's been around about five months since I last talked about anything to do with Game Of Thrones and well I in all honesty felt like talking about an episode from Game Of Thrones. However instead of talking about an episode from an actually good season of Game Of Thrones I thought i'd talk about an episode from the worst season of Game Of Thrones and so join me as I review the episode that is called simply just "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the denizens currently at Winterfell have just a few short hours in order to prepare for the literal fight of their lives. Plot wise I really do feel that this episode had a strong and yet simply / simplistic plot since all the plot of this episode is is just showing characters the day of a battle and nothing more then that and in this regard I really do feel that the plot of this episode was indeed really freaking good but at the same time I would have liked it if the plot of this episode was a bit more complex instead of being rather freaking simply in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Dinklage as Lord Tyrion Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister. Also starring in this episode is Emilia Clarke as Queen Daenerys Targaryen , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Sophie Turner as Lady Sansa Stark , Maisie Williams as Arya Stark , Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei , Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy , Joe Dempsie as Gendry , Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark , John Bradley as Samwell Tarly , Hannah Murray as Gilly , Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth , Conleth Hill as Varys , Rory McCann as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane , Kristofer Hivju as Tormund , Jacob Anderson as Commander Grey Worm and Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode. Was as per-usual when it comes to Game Of Thrones the acting that's in this very episode was very good indeed with every single actors and actress that's appearing in this very episode truly giving it their all and truly bringing their A game in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then here is where  would normally talk about the CGI that's in this episode and as well as list who did the CGI for this episode. However this episode had very little to no CGI within it whatsoever and so instead i'll just talk about the Dany and Sansa because that scene so freaking awesome it was really interesting seeing these two genuinely strong female characters go head to head with each other in a war of words and seeing Dany kind of get the upper hand was just the icing on the cake for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I in all honesty wasn't expecting there to be a call back to when Jaime and Bran first met each other and I was even more shocked to see that there was nothing that payed that scene off. Since Jaime is quite clearly looking for redemption and Bran perhaps even without knowing it kind of doesn't give it to him but perhaps that's that's the point because right now both men are fighting in a war that's bigger then the both of them combined and as such having Bran accept Jamie's apology would just seem out of place especially given where Bran is as a character right now and what kind of a character Bran has become in my opinion anyways /at least.

To me the whole idea behind this episode is indeed a really good idea indeed since it would have been very super easy to just jump into the war with this episode but the very fact that this episode actually takes the time to give us an idea as to what each of the characters are thinking. To me at least makes this war feel all the more epic since there are now alot more added in terms of stakes and that makes the battle all the more epic and awesome in my opinion anyways / at least.


So now then this episode also kind of brings Brienne's storyline to a close since this is the episode in which we see become an official knight of Westeros. I have to admit that I really did like the scene where Jaime finally knights Brienne since it was something that the character of Brienne has truly wanted and so it also was a great way to show us how far Jaime has grown and matured and developed as a character in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets exactly and well if i'm being well and truly and very freaking honesty here people this episode had the right amount of running time in my opinion anyways / at least. Since there's only so long that a story like this can last and well this episode lasted the right amount of time and so the story didn't start to get boring for me personally and in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then since there is no action in this episode I would therefor like to talk about the ending simply because i just dont like how this episode ends. This is simply because this episode stretches out the ending whereas I personally would have ended this episode with Jon and Dany still in the crypts and they still here the war horn and then they turn there heads and then i'd cut straight to the ending credits with the actual ending of this episode being served as the cold open for episode this way you get to end the episode right as the battle is about to commence and then the next episode can be just about the battle and nothing else which for me personally is a great way to end this very e/ exact episode in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall out of all of the episode that are in Game Of Thrones season eight this is perhaps one of if not the best episode from Game Of Thrones simply because it gives us the chance to see what these characters are like the day before or in this case the day of a battle which was honestly a really interesting thing to see in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode gets a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my referred website to use for images from this episode being the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page just simply due to not only how images there are from this particular episode but also just simply due to the fact that nearly all of the images from this particular episode are very high definition and as well as being very high quality.
