George R.R. Martin declassified his best episode of Game of Thrones: What's it about?

George R. R. Martin has revealed his favourite Game of Thrones episode from the one he wrote. It was Peter Dinklage's stellar hour.

Here's What We Know

"I have never claimed to be perfect… but if the good folks at Vanity Fair want to say so, who I am to argue?" -"I have never claimed to be perfect… but if the good folks at Vanity Fair want to say so, who I am to argue?" wrote on his personal website. "Of course, they are not actually saying I am perfect. They are talking about Blackwater, one of the episodes I wrote for Game of Thrones. (I scripted four. And yes, 'Blackwater' is my own favorite of those, although I thought 'The Lion and The Rose' turned out very well, too and I have a soft spot for that one.)"

"Blackwater" is the ninth episode of the second season and the first episode of the series to take place entirely in one location. The series focuses on the Battle of Blackwater Cove, in which Tyrion Lannister, acting Hand of the King, defends King's Landing from an attack by the Baratheon army. The battle takes place in Martin's book A Clash of Kings, specifically between chapters 58 to 63. The producers cut it down for television airing, in order to save the budget. The episode is widely recognised by critics as one of the best episodes of the series, with Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey's acting considered among the best of their careers.

Martin added: "I feel very pleased and flattered to be in such great company. No work of art is ever truly perfect, of course… but it is very gratifying to hear that maybe you achieved it, or at least came close… for some of your readers (or viewers)… once in a very great while. There is always a next time, though… and regardless of how well (or poorly) one of my tales is received, I always want to do better the next time I sit down in front of the computer."

As a reminder, all Game of Thrones episodes are available to watch on MAX.
