Game of Thrones - S3 • E8 Ratings & Reviews
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
[A] very female-centric episode that is entertaining, but lacks thematic cohesion (a growing trend for GoT) and at times, feels like it's more than dragging its feet.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
"Second Sons" isn't exactly "Blackwater 2," but it's the most focused episode of the series since that one.
Pajiba
TK Burton
[It] brings a closer, oft-uncomfortable scrutiny to bear on not just these frequently unusual relationships.
Forbes
Erik Kain
Tonight's episode was great---another character-driven episode but, unlike last week's episode, not a dull moment to be found.
SFX Magazine
Rob Power
Blimey, who'd have seen that one coming?

Um, did he leave that dagger there? Homie best be returning to pick that damn thing up.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Olly Richards
Where the last couple of episodes have been heavy on people having a moan in damp castles, this episode had stronger focus on those truly advancing the "game of thrones".
Brightest Young Things
Jeff Spross
The two extended riffs on Tyrion's marriage to Sansa, and Daenarys' efforts to recruit the sell swords known as the Second Sons to her cause, allowed for an unusually rich assortment of character pieces, plot pay-offs, and even an inside joke.
Entertainment Weekly

Home stretch. Tonight's Game of Thrones is the most focused episode we've seen since Blackwater.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
The best part of the episode involves Tyrion and Sansa's wedding, which is a long series of scenes where people get drunker and drunker and their tongues get looser and looser.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
White Walker aside, that was a pretty tranquil episode, right? Not boring, though. Just one of the few Game of Thrones installments that stuck to a mere number of storylines you can count on one hand.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
Conflicting notions of duty, and of our moral obligation to do it, drive "Second Sons," as thematically unified an hour of Game of Thrones as we've seen all season.
Newark Star-Ledger
Brian Stitt
At this point, any episode not featuring Theon and his mysterious tormentor would get a passing grade from me, but "Second Sons" was much better than just a pass.
Observer
Drew Grant
Ever the underdog, [Sam] sticks to his whole whole "the meek shall inherit" bit by literally sticking it to one of the most feared and powerful beings we have seen on the show. He'll go on being my favorite accidental hero.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
The wedding itself was a ton of fun to watch - especially, as is often true of weddings IRL, when people went off script.

Let's pour some wine and raise a toast to Episode 8, "Second Sons."

Home stretch. Tonight's Game of Thrones is the most focused episode we've seen since Blackwater.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
Game of Thrones is generally at its best when it stops whizzing around Westeros hoping to show us everything, and in contrast to last week's episode, which occasionally lagged, this week didn't waste a scene.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
The sight of Davos being freed from the Dragonstone dungeon warmed my heart and seasoned this entire excellent episode because it was a reminder of just how wonderful Game of Thrones can be when it digs in instead of spreading out.
AV Club
David Sims
The most crucial, fascinating, electric moment of the night came from Sam and Gilly's final scene, something I hardly expected to be typing, but there you go.
