![]() ![]() It’s often hard to decide in some scenes who you are rooting for… One of the most interesting observations about GoT is the fact that we have such conflicted feelings about so many of the characters. We do our best (and in only TWO HOURS!) to discuss each of the plot lines and the characters we’ve come to love and hate. The amount of action in these episodes is overwhelming. The Lannisters pay their debts. Daenerys weighs her options. Arya comes home.ĭaenerys offers a choice. Arya grows suspicious. Tyrion answers a good question. Martin’s best-selling ‘ A Song of Ice and Fire‘ series.ĭaenerys holds court. Tyrion backchannels. Cersei returns a gift. Jaime learns from his mistakes. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all play the ‘ Game of Thrones.’ An original series based on George R.R. All the while, in the frozen north, an 800-foot wall of ice precariously protects the war-ravaged kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. It stretches from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues, to the vast and savage eastern lands, where a young queen raises an army. And the struggle for the Iron Throne continues. Here’s hoping we find Gendry (or something more useful) in the next episode.Summers span decades. ![]() It may have been a peculiar place to start with a sex scene, but the show seems to be beginning to tie a few ends. get their freak on? And the answer was delivered to us in one of the most heart-warmingly romantic moments of the show. Missandei and Greyworm finally laid the speculation to rest on how they would, if they could, um. Will she continue still to Winterfell or turn back and give up on the idea of the family that she once had?īut we mustn’t forget the sweet moment of hopefulness, which was, very weirdly, a sex scene we have been very curious about since many seasons. But meeting her direwolf in the cold, who fails to recognise her (or does but judges it best to turn away) must have made her realise she will never truly be home again. Upon learning that Jon is the new King in the North, she decides to put the ‘Murder Cersei’ plan on hold and go home to her family. Up in the North, Arya faces a similar dilemma when she meets Nymeria in the woods. She was on the run from time she was a child and has always wanted to go home, never realising there is no home for her. The feeling that makes something feel like home is the fond memories of that place. In the first scene, Daenerys complains how she doesn’t feel at home even after landing at Dragonstone. What about when the war ends? What lies in store for the characters after all is well? Will things ever really be well? However, our sight should not be limited to the immediate future. With her fleet burned to ashes, will she do the same to Westeros? Olenna already told her to follow her heart and Dany’s heart was already telling her to bring out her dragons and end the war like her cruel brother would have. The destruction to her fleet makes things far more difficult for Dany but also makes the two sides equal. ![]() Until Yara saw the damage done to her fleet and Euron physically put an axe to her throat, the battle didn’t seem completely lost. The final scene, the battle between the Greyjoys, was shot and executed brilliantly enough to be one of the series’ famed eighth episodes. Too perfect by Game of Thrones standards. Daenerys and Tyrion take the first steps in each other’s direction, Tyrion’s kindness to Jon and Sansa, years ago, reaps benefits, Daenerys has a fool-proof plan laid out to take over Westeros, Arya changes course to Winterfell where she would meet Sansa at last, Jorah finally found someone to help him with the Greyscale, everything sounds just perfect. This confidence brought a fatal end to many a-Westerosi we loved and others should be wise enough to learn from their mistakes.Ī series of fortunate events unfold in Dragonstone. While for the most part, the episode impresses upon the idea of an imminent victory for the good side, the end makes sure you don’t get too confident, too quickly. Some take steps in a direction they think will lead them to a home, to the throne, to a cure or to Dragonstone. Last week, the chessboard was set, this time the pawns are being moved. Start to finish, from Daenerys threatening Varys to Theon surrendering to cowardice, the episode had not a single dull moment. Like Dragonstone, Stormborn was again a thrilling ride all through its 55-minute runtime. With season 7, the makers may have cut down on the number of episodes but the density of great, high octane scenes has significantly increased. ![]() One of the biggest complaints with Game of Thrones over the course of six seasons was how each of those opened with an explosive episode, got mundane for the next seven and then turned awesome again with episodes 8, 9 and 10.
