Game of Thrones - S3 • E2 Ratings & Reviews
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
Overall, 'Dark Wings, Dark Words' is an improvement from the first episode, allowing itself to be a little more grandiose with introductions... and very quietly connecting the scenes together with the feminine entities of Westeros.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
Her [Marge] seduction of him [Joffrey] ... is among the most memorable, and disturbing, scenes of this young season.
Pajiba
TK Burton
I appreciate the slow burn, though I confess that I thirst for a bit more action now and again.
Brightest Young Things
Jeff Spross
Now things are beginning to move. After the exposition of "Valar Dohaeris," last night's "Dark Wings, Dark Words" brought new character development and some genuine plays on the chessboard.
The Mary Sue
Rebecca Pahle
Save a few minor flat notes, it was glorious.
What Culture
James Moore
After a slow, but no less welcoming, start to the new season.
Flavorwire
Alison Herman
"Dark Wings, Dark Words" was Game of Thrones at its weakest.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
James Lachno
These early-season episodes tend to be about cautiously positioning strands of plot like the first moves in an elaborate game of chess. Yet the action still moved along briskly enough.

If the opening episode of Season Three of "Game of Thrones" was mostly talking, Episode Two is mostly walking, though it sets a brisk pace and there's a lot to see along the way.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
"Dark Wings" is still a terrifically paced episode of the show, and it's got me very excited for everything that's to follow.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
Natalie Dormer's Margaery, too, is unfolding delightfully as the season progresses. I'd put her on the short list, with Bronn and Tywin, of the characters who've been most improved in the translation from page to screen.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
"Dark Wings, Dark Words" - itself written by a woman, Vanessa Taylor - continued the season premiere's deft handling of its myriad storylines in large part by centering the action on the actions and reactions of women
Newark Star-Ledger
Brian Stitt
I am bothered when the writers try to shove too many story lines into a single episode, leaving it overburdened and punchless.
Observer
Drew Grant and Noam Cohen
Several of the major characters have found a new bestie in this episode, and these first-timers are played by some of our favorite "Oh yeah, that guy!" Brits.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
Okay, so we're more or less caught up with everyone now... But this being Game of Thrones, we've also been loaded with a ton of new information to process and a bunch of people to care about/sort-of-recognize next time they appear.
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
"Dark Wings, Dark Words," catches us up with the remaining characters not featured in the inaugural episode and moves the story forward in a more decided fashion.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones was a little slow - at least, until that great sword fight. Half the show was really Part 2 of the season premiere, launching stories that did not fit in the first hour.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
I loved this episode... It had everything that makes Game of Thrones so addictive: the adept juggling of a number of plotlines, subtle character development and brooding hints of trouble to come.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
Last night, the relentless, unforgiving slog of story reminded me of the Night's Watch's torturous death march toward The Wall.
AV Club
David Sims
It's a very tense hour that on the surface lacks forward momentum, although I'm sure it's tipping many a larger plot into motion.
