Tom's Guide Verdict: "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" episode 105, "In the Name of the Mother"
- Rating: 4/5 Stars
- Verdict: It was always going to be tough to follow the hype of last week's episode, "Seven." But "In the Name of the Mother" largely lives up to it with its epic Trial of the Seven, artistically well-executed flashbacks to Dunk's past and a stunning conclusion that only bookreaders will see coming.
- Premiere date/time: Sunday, Feb. 15, at 10 p.m. ET
- Channel: HBO and streaming on HBO Max
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has undoubtedly become one of the best shows of the year, if not the best. While the series premiere was a bit of a slow burn, last week's "Seven" was one of the best "Game of Thrones" episodes ever, from either the original or the two spin-offs we've gotten from HBO so far. When the "Game of Thrones" theme kicked in as Baelor declared he'd fight for Dunk, it was, as the kids say, absolute cinema.
