Game of Thrones - S3 • E7 Ratings & Reviews
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
[A]n exquisitely shot episode... without a whole lot going on.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
It's one of the more thorough of its kind, touching on early every plot this season has set in motion.
Pajiba
TK Burton
The good news is that even the most uneven of episodes is still better than the vast majority of other stories out there, and there were still some terrific moments to be mined from this week's entry.
indieWire
David Chute
The show has been effective this season in weaving together several plot lines to create a sense of one great flow of forward movement.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Tom Chivers
It's still a powerful programme, and it's rare that it wastes a scene. But there are now so many characters that some major plot points - Arya's latest misfortune, for example - are squeezed into too little space.
Brightest Young Things
Jeff Spross
That Ygritte used the same words to describe her relationship to Jon doesn't exactly bode well for how their story will play out this season. The vast impersonal forces of George R.R. Martin's world keep tearing spouses and lovers apart.
We Got This Covered
Paulo Javier Lazo
All in all, this was a mediocre Game of Thrones episode. I was shocked when I found out it was actually George R. R. Martin who had written it - the man who initially created all the great characters and setting we've grown so fond of.
SFX Magazine
Rob Power
Yet while "The Beast And The Maiden Fair" had its moments - and there's no denying it did - it still felt uneven, with storylines piled up too high and payoffs lacking impact.
Forbes
Erik Kain
While I didn't think this was the strongest episode of the season at all and felt a little bored here and there for the first time since the Season Premiere, I still enjoyed watching all the pieces line up.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
Though not filled with fireworks (other than a super sweet bear fight), it nonetheless accomplishes what it sets out to do and gets the majority of the throat clearing out of the way for the season's final three episodes.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
That was a boring, frustrating episode, probably the worst of the season.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
"Goodbye, Ser Jaime." I didn't expect to be moved to tears by Game of Thrones last night any more than Jaime Lannister himself did, I don't think.
Newark Star-Ledger
Brian Stitt
They slowed things down, giving room for scenes to breathe and fold out naturally, but also wasted a good chunk of time.
Observer
Drew Grant and Noam Cohen
I'm starting to think that the show just hands off those Theon moments to Eli Roth. I actually had to leave the room the last two weeks during those extended scenes of torture porn.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
That first shot of Brienne in that pit, blood smeared across the bodice of her pink gown, facing off a GIANT BEAR, was one I won't soon forget.
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
This episode RULED. High fives, all around my people.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
We're so in love with Game of Thrones this season and the characters are so in love with each other.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
The scenes with Jon and Ygritte were among the episode's strongest. Having been unimpressed by their fledgling relationship last season, they've won me round.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
"The Bear and the Maiden Fair" wasn't a particularly good episode of Game of Thrones. I found it draggy and digressive, which was a surprise considering it was written by author George R.R. Martin.
AV Club
David Sims
I wouldn't call it action-packed, but it's a very satisfying hour, again thanks to Martin's script, which really has a feel for what's going on in these characters' heads.
