Game of Thrones - S5 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
The Nerds of Color
Constance Gibbs
It set the scene for where these characters are and set them each on a journey. After watching the episode, I kept thinking about Daenerys' dragons and her lack of control over them...
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
"The Wars to Come" works, ultimately, because it doesn't try to present a definitive answer for any of these people.
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
While most people on Game of Thrones work in their own interest, it's hard to blame Sansa for doing so.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
Through the action at Castle Black, "The Wars to Come" demonstrates the value the show is getting by letting different worlds collide.
Pajiba
TK Burton
This episode shows something very different - war is coming, in many different places and taking many different shapes.
AV Club
Erik Adams
While it contemplates the kind of leadership it will next put onscreen, the leadership behind the scenes at Game Of Thrones looks refreshingly willing to roll with the punches.
indieWire
Casey Cipriani
Much like other complicated series, it's helpful to have a recap episode at the beginning to remember where everyone's at. With that said, we hope that the action and intrigue pick up quickly going forward.
Washington Post
David Malitz
The night may be dark and full of terrors, but at least for the next 10 Sundays they will involve new episodes of Game of Thrones.
Washington Post
Alyssa Rosenberg
Dinklage gave Tyrion tremendous dignity and charisma in previous seasons of "Game of Thrones"; to watch Tyrion brought this low is heartbreaking.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
This hour, briskly directed by Breaking Bad vet Michael Slovis (making his Westerosi debut), was all about resetting the lines.
Newark Star-Ledger
Vicki Hyman
Now that Sansa is learning to play the Game of Thrones, she's become so much more of an interesting character.
Independent (UK)
Matilda Battersby
I suspect tonight's episode is the creators setting up a stall advertising their wares before the gutsy stuff is served up later.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
Cersei's flashback (the first in the show's history) both sets the tone and provides the theme for the big Season Five kickoff.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
There was a palpable sense that this time the pieces are being arranged for what will be the story's climactic clash for the Iron Throne. (Though when that comes, obviously, is anyone's guess.)
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Charlotte Runcie
This wasn't the most dramatic episode so far, but the acting and writing were sharper than ever.
Salon.com
Libby Hill
The most interesting element to come from all this strife is how pervasive the fear of uncertainty is. It doesn't defer to rank or status.
Guardian
Sarah Hughes
The first episode of the fifth season of Game of Thrones thrust us straight back into the heart of Westeros with a well-paced hour that gave us new alliances aplenty and neatly set up several juicy plotlines.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
There's less darting around the globe and a little more time spent with each major location in any given hour: Convergence is happening!
AV Club
Myles McNutt
The season premiere must serve as prologue, and it serves honorably-and given its occasional lack of stimulation, "serves" is an apt verb here.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Nina Shen Rastogi
Viewed in this light, the final major piece of the episode can be seen as a rare example on GoT of a parent-child relationship coming to something like a respectful ending.
