The Rains of Castamere is the best episode of season 3, and perhaps of the series

There is nothing that can prepare you for this latest episode of Game of Thrones. Even those who knew what was coming (which i didn't), will probably be shocked by this incredibly powerful gut wrenching episode.

Now, i'm not going to into what happened in depth. I just need to tell anyone who reads this. The Rains of Castemere is arguably the BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 3, and perhaps the best episode of the series. The performances, the writing, the screenplay, EVERYTHING about this episode was PERFECT. Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark and Maise Williams put in the best performances of the season. And the ending... So GUT-WRENCHING, HEART BREAKING, SHOCKING AND POWERFUL all at the same time. I'm telling you now, if you thought Game of Thrones was slipping into meritocracy, then this episode will BLOW YOUR MIND. It is UNFORGETTABLE.
