Episode Review, Game of Thrones S6 Ep9

Game of Thrones, by David Benioff and D.B Weiss, is known for being one of, if not, the best tv series to date. Given by its cinematography, script and its overall story. One episode in particular stands out from the rest, that being Season 6´s Episode 9 called “Battle of Bastards”, directed by Miguel Sapochnik, that is considered the best episode of the series and this is why. Beware of spoilers!

To start off, the episode on its own is a cinematic masterpiece. The built in atmosphere generated by the set and the tension of don´t knowing if characters that you grew to love will eventually die at the climactic, and long awaited, Battle of Bastards. Beginning with Daenerys burning  slaver ships with her majestic dragons drew the viewer's attention right from the get go. Then Jon takes the lead of the episode planning his attack against the hated Ramsay Bolton, who took hostage his brother Rickon and took control over Winterfell (The Stark´s Household).

If it weren't for the actors this episode wouldn't have been the same. Kit Harrington's portrayal as Jon and Iwan Rehon’s as Ramsay are remarkable in this episode in particular. With no words they can tell what they are thinking at every moment, as sometimes it is better to show and don't tell. Jon's anger and courage is always present, as is Ramsay’s madness and fear.

Along with great acting there is great cinematography. As we all know it is difficult to show a battle play off and make it feel believable, however, Game of Thrones managed to do so. Following Jon throughout the battle we get to see the brutality that happens within the battlefield, with people getting killed and our characters struggling to fight. All this wouldn't have been accomplished if it wasn't for the director Miguel Sapochnik, who clearly has a lot of talent.

To conclude, I haven't seen a more memorable episode than this one. It became my favorite ever since I first saw it and remains that way for those reasons. If you haven't watched Game of Thrones you are missing out and if you did I would suggest re-watching this episode to see my point.
