Game of Thrones: The Wolf and the Lion (2011)
Season 1, Episode 5
9/10
A perfect improvement over episode 3 and 4
13 April 2016
The Wolf and the Lion is perfect episode and improves over episode 3 and 4. It brings some more character development to not only the Stark family, but the other characters as well while having some very neat action sequences. And that's a good thing since it has a nice balance between character study and action. My only quibble is that it left me wanting to see more of how Tyrion will handle his predicament when he got arrested for his rumored crimes against Bran Stark.

Everything else is done well. The acting continues to shine from all of the actors' performances especially Eddard who has a sense of humanity to him under his smug face when he chose not to kill Daenerys. The story is well-written, the script is smart, the dialog is excellent, the music score is still amazing, and it has a much fine pacing this time around.

Overall, great episode and a great improvement.
