Recap: 'Game of Thrones' Season 5 Episode 4 Has to Contend with 'The Sons of The Harpy'

Well, Throners, last week’s episode was a doozy, an excellent doozy, and this week’s “Sons of the Harpy” is somehow even better. Mark Mylod is killing it! All of the Emmys for Mark Mylod. This episode is written by Dave Hill, and it’s excellent—a good mix of political scheming, shading in of backstory via remembrance, and those GoT mic drop lines we’ve come to know and love. Once again this is an action-packed ep, and there’s a wonderful sense of style to all of the senseless killing, which is technically why we watch this show, right? But in all seriousness, this week illuminates much of the inner mental, emotional workings of some of our more stoic characters, and as gears are cranking on what is surely a war to come, many of these characters are having to lay their cards on the table, and stand up for what they believe in.
