Game of Thrones - S2 • E6 Ratings & Reviews

There's no show on TV with higher stakes than Game of Thrones, and in vicious hours like 'The Old Gods and the New', it makes for captivating drama.
Pajiba
TK Burton
It's not just that grimness and fear that propels the show, it's an uncommon depth of writing and strength of character that makes it so remarkable an achievement.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Tom Chivers
After a slightly slow episode five... series two took off explosively again in episode six.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
Much as we saw in the first season, mercy is a complicated thing in Game of Thrones. It's not always the best move, but it's also not always the wrong one.
We Got This Covered
Matt Joseph
So, lots of plot development this week and it's all really meaty. I love the direction that the show is going in and we're really starting to feel the race for the Iron Throne take off.

All in all, a very satisfying episode. A new character, plus plenty of solid action and pacing make for an enjoyable watch.

The show gets better as its characters start to reach the point of no return. Theon Greyjoy has passed that point, and the other characters are approaching it.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
In 'The Old Gods and the New', there's plenty of action and relationships are starting to flourish. After so much set-up, pay-off is finally coming thick and fast.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
The Old Gods and the New wound up feeling less choppy than some of this season's previous hours.
SFX Magazine

King's Landing was the location of this week's most satisfying moment as Joffrey finally gets what he deserves.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
Game of Thrones, even in the quietest episode, is still full of killing, but this week's episode featured more killing, and more graphic killing, than any episode of the entire series thus far.
ScreenCrush

Hooray for war! Sweet, off-camera war!
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
The chaos and animal savagery that has always lurked just below Westeros's scrim of courtliness and gentility has finally broken through the surface and is bleeding out everywhere.
Baltimore Sun
Luke Broadwater
As surprising as it sounds, Theon is actually somewhat more likeable on the show than he is in the books... Alfie Allen portrays Theon as almost having a conscience, which makes him slightly more sympathetic than Theon on paper.
Newark Star-Ledger
Jenifer D. Braun
This week -- after a trip across the map that contains no new territory -- we plunge into media res so fast my head is spinning... Welcome back, Theon!
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
The moment where characters start to lose control is an exciting point in every story. And on tonight's Game of Thrones, some of our favorites battled to hold onto power in the face of naked rebellion.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
There will be those who disagree but I still feel sorry for Theon. One of the most interesting things about Game of Thrones is that it isn't simply a story of upright good guys and black-hearted villains.
AV Club
David Sims
This show has been as compelling as ever right out of the gate and has never flagged. With this many plot elements spinning around, there's just always much more to look forward to every week.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
The second season of Game Of Thrones has done a fair amount of shifting from the book, A Clash Of Kings, but I haven't been bothered by almost any of it... the story still maintains the core themes and emotions that motivated the book.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
At this point in Game of Thrones, the values espoused by dear old dead Ned Stark, our season-one hero, have been pretty thoroughly dismantled.
