What a Performance !

I only start watching that show last month "Feb. 2012" because of the over hyped "Season Three"... I'm not a big fan of Lord of Rings ,Troy , 300, etc...

BUT that got my attention from the first episodes, It's complicated with easy to get along characters , Here at that one I surely know that Lena Headey "Cersei Lannister" was one of them, She's perfect at that episode along with Sophie Turner "Sansa Stark" and the marvelous Peter Dinklage "Tyrion Lannister"

What it's all about

10

By Spicerack, Oct 07, 2012

There aren't many series out there that can make an episode with everything you'd expect in a feature length film, but Blackwater has delivered. From start to finish this episode has everything, chilling dialogue, insane action, and in what I would call a tribute the the ferocity and violence of war, just like a life can be ended in an instant so to was the war and the episode. We finally get to see the little man proving himself to be more than he ever has before, showing a set of balls to back up his brilliant intelligence.

One of the best scenes in my opinion were those of Cersei hauntingly telling it like it is, with no holds barred. There aren't many shows out there that can stop me from wanting to blink for almost an hour, but this is definitely one of them!!moreless

Simply MINDBLOWING

By Scotty510, Jun 17, 2012

Truly the best episode so far, it was simply mindblowing!!! Starting with the incredible ship burning on the river with wildfire, that green explosion was ridiculously awesome, amazeballs special effects, and then continuing with the siege and fighting - awesome! And Tyrion was so inspiring, loved his speech! All though in the book he was on the burning ship when that traitor hit him in the head, still the scene was portrayed beautifully in the show! What a brave lion, awesome character! And besides fighting, the dialogues between Cersei and Sansa were priceless! So for me this episode was awesome on so many levels, that it is simply insane how it all fit in only one hour, truly respect to the cast and crew for doing such a spectacular job! Can't wait to see what they will come up in the 3rd season next year, am sure it will be just as good or even better!moreless

The Mother of all Battles

10

By ionee24, Jun 04, 2012

It began with chair, actually a really nasty throne, and the men fighting to sit on it. It continued with a friend, for that's what Bronn and Tyrion had become, saying goodbye & wishing to see each other again. It started on a boat, a grimm ship, in which a father & son remained oblivious to the fact this was the last conversation they would ever share. It continued with death, on both fronts, for each side was trying to defeat an enemy just as brave as themselves. It started with a Hound, broken and scarred, threaten to kill the man that just hours later would save his life. It ended with a pack, for the Hound sought the wolf so both he and Sansa would leave the Castle behind. It started with a mother, bitter & powerless to protect her children and it ended with a father, walking thought the gates with Ser Loras, as Lord Tywin reclaims King's Landing for the Lannisters.moreless

- Cersei Lannister: When we were young, Jaime and I, we looked so much alike, even our father couldn't tell us apart. I could never understand why they treated us differently. Jaime was taught to fight with sword and lance and mace, and I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock and I was sold to some stranger like a horse to be ridden whenever he desired.
  Sansa Stark: You were Robert's queen.
  Cersei Lannister: And you will be Joffrey's. Enjoy.
  EDIT SHARE
- Shae: Some of those boys will never come back.
  Sansa Stark: Joffrey will. The worst ones always live.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bronn: Don't get killed.
  Tyrion Lannister: Nor you, my friend.
  Bronn: Oh, are we friends now?
  Tyrion Lannister: Of course we are. Just because I pay you for your services doesn't diminish our friendship.
  Bronn: Enhances it, really.
  Tyrion Lannister: Oh, enhances? Fancy word for a sellsword.
  Bronn: Been spending time with fancy folks.
  EDIT SHARE
- Lord Varys: I've always hated the bells. They ring for horror--a dead king, a city under siege.
  Tyrion Lannister: A wedding.
  Lord Varys: Exactly.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cersei Lannister: I should have been born a man. I'd rather face a thousand swords than be shut up inside with this flock of frightened hens.
  Sansa Stark: They are your guests under your protection. You asked them here.
  Cersei Lannister: It was expected of me, as it will be of you if you ever become Joffrey's queen. If my wretched brother should somehow prevail, these hens will return to their cocks and crow of how my courage inspired them, lifted their spirits.
  Sansa Stark: And if the city should fall?
  Cersei Lannister: You'd like that, wouldn't you? The Red Keep should hold for a time, long enough for me to go to the walls and yield to Lord Stannis in person. If it were anyone else outside those gates, I might have hoped for a private audience, but this is Stannis Baratheon. I'd have a better chance of seducing his horse. (pauses) Have I shocked you, little dove? Tears aren't a woman's only weapon. The best one's between your legs. Learn how to use it.

- Sandor Clegane: (to the men he's leading to battle) Any man dies with a clean sword, I'll rape his fucking corpse!
  EDIT SHARE
- Tyrion Lannister: (to his troops inside the Mud Gate with the enemy on the other side) Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them.
