Game of Thrones: Two Swords (2014)
Vengeance , honour and emotions!
The first episode in all seasons has been more like an allusion to what comes next, and two swords just served that purpose. ' Vengeance - ' lannisters are not the only ones to pay their debts' - with that Oberryn is introduced, who is seeking revenge against the lannisters for the gruesome murder of his sister.Arya is shaping into what looks like one psychopath girl, who now has the audacity to kill for what is rightfully hers. Honour - with the new sword being forged from the ICe - Ned's sword, the honourable house of Starks has fallen, Ser Jamie Lannister is still struggling to get his honour back as a knight in the Kingsguard , refusing his inheritance to Casterly Rock. There is Danearys , struggling to tame her own dragons, trying to bring the honur back to the house of Targaeryans.there was Jon Snow, trying to regain his position in the night's watch, and the wildlings still fighting.
Emotions - Cersei tussling with her own thoughts, her love for Jamie now estranged! Brienne still trying to restore Catelyn's honour, and Sansa now becoming strong, and Shae turning green with envy.
This episode had action, story and drama. Shot with attention to the minutest detail, the graphics( dragons have now grown big), their clothes, two swords marks a great beginning to the season 4.
Sherlock: The Empty Hearse (2014)
The indeed EMPTY hearse
The wait was long, very long. Expectations were high, we all knew that Sherlock didn't die, but for us - the audience, unlike John, the question was how, and not why . And the episode offered just that - the various plausible explanations of the fake death - the Reichenbach fall. The expose of the imminent terrorist attack on London, that goes on parallely , was slow, and substandard when compared to benchmarks set by Sherlock in the earlier episodes. Every bomb has an on and off switch!Come on, it could have been better! A few good moments in this relatively empty episode - the game between the Holmes brothers(Mycroft was simply amazing); Mr. Watson was definitely not joking and more humane in his reflexes on seeing his buddy ,Sherlock, alive, and Benedict's Cumberbatch's parents themselves playing Sherlock's parents. However, the loose ends rather the open ends that keep us anxious and wanting for more: now that Moriarty is dead, why did Sherlock escape, and from whom? And surprising it was that Mycroft despite knowing that Sherlock was alive didn't know where he went and why! Why John is made the target during the ritualistic burning of the wicker man? Perhaps these are the things to watch out for in the coming episodes, apart from the hopefully hilarious speech that Sherlock will be giving as the Best Man!
