Game of Thrones Season 2, episode 9.

Blackwater.

Holy fucking shit.

Maybe not quite as epic as in the book, but it's the most intense, cinematic battle I've ever seen on e television series.

More than lived up to the hype.

"If anyone dies without blood on his sword, I'll rape his corpse!"

Best episode of the series to date. It certainly benefited from being written by George R.R. Martin, the author of the books, and from focusing entirely on a single story/location.

4 jars of wildfire out of 4.
