I thought it generally was a good episode. However, that Sansa scene although better than I expected was pretty horrifying. I'm not judging the episode in comparison to the book just as a TV show, so I gave it an 8.

I gave it an 8. I think Tyrion and Jorah, Arya, and King's Landing were good. Winterfell wasn't as bad as I expected, but it was still traumatizing. Alfie Allen's performance was amazing though. Dorne, I don't know wtf to say. Without Dany and especially Jon and Stannis (since we've seen these two in every episode so far), it really makes the show feel much different.

8. A solid episode in most respects, cheesiness of the Sand Snakes aside. Littlefinger's plan is great, the trial for Loras was a masterstroke I thought. The Sansa scene was utterly stomach churning, still processing it honestly.

It was a good episode but the ending made me so mad. I'm going to have to wait a little while before I rate it.

7/10 I would give it and 8, but the Dorne stuff was really disappointing to me  Major props for Bronn and the Dornishman's Wife and Adebisi/Mr. Eko with his cock merchant  |

A 9. But I'm rewatching in six minutes when it airs again, so I may make it lower or higher depending on how it holds up.

5. Probably one of the weakest episodes of Thrones I've ever seen.
LIKES
Jorah and Tyrion's scenes, Jorah was brilliant when he finds out about his father
"cock merchant"
Olenna "You can smell the shit 5 miles away"
The faces in The House in Black and White looked way cooler than how I pictured them.
Sansa telling Myranda to essentially go fuck herself.
DISLIKES
Tommen, you baby back bitch.
Littlefinger, you fucking moron. Die.
That last scene was disgusting.
Olyvar needs to die.
Tyrstane and Myrcella being Romeo and Juliet.

8/10. It wasn't as tight as the previous episode, and the lack of Jon, Dany and Stannis created something of a void since they've been so prominent this season. The Dorne scene could have been executed better...it felt like a scene out of a comedy heist film, although I love Bronn. Everything else was great.

Gave an 8. Much, much better than last week. Thought everything was good except Dorne. Obviously the end was hard to watch, but there was some great performances by Alfie Allen and Sophie Turner.

Didn't like it. All of the Dorne action soured me, just poorly staged and unrealistic, I thought. Sansa and the Godswood both looked beautiful, but didn't like seeing Sansa in the victim role again. I know she may just be biding her time (I hope to God she is), but still was hard to watch. Somehow, these major developments that take place by someone riding over the hill (Jaime and Bronne in Dorne, Jorah and Tyrion with the slavers) seem a bit forced, too.

Gave it a 10. The first one of the season, actually, the first episode that got a grade higher than 6 from me, I think. Not because I liked the rape scene, or the "Cersei is smarter than the Queen of Thorns" scene... but because, as an episode, this one had a much better pacing than the other five, and, for the first time since episode 4x09, I was actually thrilled by the episode: I was very interested in the LF/Cersei exchange, Sansa's wedding was very well done (even though the book reader in me hated it, it was a well handled scene), and I found myself hating Ramsay so much during the final scene, that the show runners were successful on that, I guess. Also, everything that happened this episode seems to build up to something greater on the last episodes: we are all hoping to see Ramsay get his punishment, to see Cersei arrested, what will happen at Dorne...

Just watched it a second time. The sand snakes were a little cringeworthy sometimes (like when Teyne jumped at Bronn), but the rest of it was spectacular imo. Probably my favourite episode of the season so far. 10/10

6/10
Does Tyrion have to be in every episode...even though their little segments were some of the best parts of the episode. Like seriously if they cut down peter dinklages screentime this season they'd have so much more time.
Loved the Arya stuff. the Hall of faces looked much cleaner and organised compared to what i imagined. surprised it happened this early. good to know we'll get to see Braavos in the coming episode. The house of black and white is so dark!
Pretty much hated everything in KL except for Olenna not being able to stand Cersei's shit. Pinning Margery on perjury is just lame. LF is an absolute idiot. but not as stupid as Cersei. Seriously she didn't ask where he found out Sansa was in Winterfell? I hope she gives him to Qyburn. Loras' trial was okay i think he put on one of his best performances. I feel like for the first time the Cersei of season 5 is most different to book Cersei. There's also something missing from her storyline. not enough going on, its getting boring. i can't wait until the last 3 episodes.
The North was done really well, i think sophie looked awesome in her dress and its good to see snow and the godswood. i just wish it wasn't Sansa who was getting married. I also wish they had the balls to flick to Sansa so this particular scene wasn't so much about Theon. i feared this would happen because with jeyne poole it didn't matter, but this is Sansa loosing her virginity. this storyline is becoming about Sansa when it never was designed for that.

Braavos was great, Tyrion and Jorah was okay. Kings Landing and Winterfell a mixed bag and Dorne was awful ( aside from Bronn singing) idk 7/10 seems generous but that's what I voted

Would have been 9 without the Sansa/Ramsey stuff. I rated it a 7. I thought it was a solid episode.
The Good:
Arya/Jaquen
Tyrion/Jorah
The trial and arrest of Loras and Margarey
Mr.Eko!
Cersei and Oleanna sniping at each other
No Jon/Dany shoehorned in the episode just to have them in there. Glad they sat this one out.
Alfie Allen's acting
Sansa's wedding dress
The way the scene was filmed
The bad:
Sansa/Ramsey in general
Dorne needs some character development and screen time
Um, Bryan Cogman, my cat is more of a hardened woman than Sansa is. There was nothing about that scene that communicated that Sansa is a hardened woman.
Not using Alexander Siddig and Nikolaj Coster Waldau enough.
Tommen is completely inept. Bran is a better king than Tommen.
