Game of Thrones - S2 • E5 Ratings & Reviews
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
Still a very strong episode with a great central theme, and particularly great for the different female characters of Westeros.
Pajiba

After a pretty disturbing hour last week, "Game of Thrones" is back in fine form this week with The Ghost Of Harrenhal.
CinemaBlend
Jesse Carp
A satisfactory episode if not entirely satisfying after the jaw dropper that preceded it, "The Ghost of Harrenhal" perhaps moved too fast and too much for its own good.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
As every character is driven by his or her own motivations, the concern of what the endgame is becomes even more pressing as events compound and begin to spin out of control.

Anyone can be killed in the world of Game Of Thrones for any reason now, including magic. And while I may dislike the magical assassination that drives "The Ghost Of Harrenhal," this is a story about the effects of war and death.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Cumming
It was a classic mid-series episode... most of the action was expository rather than climactic.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
I've been waiting all season to see Qarth on the inside... it's cool, enticing and menacing all the same.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
I love the way Game of Thrones is handling its large cast. They can't get everyone in every episode, but what they have been doing is finding a way to pair off characters who seem to complement one another.

The women of Westeros don't dominate every story this week, but they have enough strong moments.

The Ghost of Harrenhal, definitely gives the scenes some time to breathe. Not every character gets serviced this week, and that's okay.
ComingSoon.net
Laremy Legel
Overall, a nice return to form, setting up episode six well.
SFX Magazine
Rob Power
Powerhouse plotting, topped and tailed by dramatic deaths and stuffed full of stand-out moments, "The Ghost Of Harrenhal" carries on the Game Of Thrones trend for each episode topping the last.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
Great stuff, all, but we have to wonder if things might be becoming a bit too padded, the way Jon Snow up in the North hasn't had a whole lot to do in a full five episodes.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
In its second season, Game of Thrones has become so skilled at creating memorable characters that it finds itself in the curious position of not having enough time to service them.
Baltimore Sun
Luke Broadwater
The writers were smart to include more Daenerys Targaryen this episode. Even if she isn't central to the Stannis-versus-Joffrey plot, she was one of the most captivating characters of Season 1.
Newark Star-Ledger
Jenifer D. Braun
I feel like this show has done such a good job courting folks who don't like fantasy that all those converts were a little shocked when it turned out they were watching...a fantasy show.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
A man watches Game of Thrones. He sees the latest episode, "The Ghost of Harrenhal," and thinks the season is gathering steam. The power structure has shifted once again in one of the strongest season two episodes yet.
AV Club
David Sims
Harrenhal, luckily, isn't quite the horror show that it was in the previous episode.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
There's perhaps a bit too much in the way of laying out just why everybody's ready to lay down their lives for Dany, but I liked that the show decided to spend a little time in Qarth, not just rush through the obligatory plot points.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
It's especially good to see some rays of light break through the long, dark, terror-filled night that is Game of Thrones.
