IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE EPISODE TURN BACK NOW AND COME BACK YOU HAVE!
I am the only one who hums along to the theme song? Ya, just me, well I’m cool with being crazy. Let us begin this grand ol’ (you know 5 week old) tradition of recapping GoT.
Braavos
We open this weeks episode on a very impressive sight. Braavos. I have to say, passing between that guys legs mus be at least a little intimidating. Stannis visits the Iron Bank to try and convince them to back him. But these are not men they care about rightful claims. These are men that care about money. They are quite literally bankers, summing up his paltry equity and telling him it is not enough for a loan. Welcome to the real world. But then again Sir Davos, is willing to co sign his loan. I love this man. He is loyal, it worries me though, lets be honest, truly good men do not do well in Westeros.
Dreadfort
Yara is not someone I would want to mess with. She has always seemed like a strong character. So maybe we don’t piss her off. But I don’t really get why she is taking this so seriously. She hardly knows her brother, and the fact is, when they last saw each other she was kind of a bitch to him. But I guess its one of those things were only she can mess with him. Theon (now named Reek) has gone bat shit crazy. But then again, that isn’t such a shock after every thing he has gone through. But it would seem that Ramsey has bigger balls then she does.
When Ramsey offers to repay Reek for not running away with his sister, he is a bit hesitant. Almost like he has been tortured,… Weird. You see the layers of scars that the torture has left him with and for an instant I feel bad for him. This is not the same person. This person is broken. Of coarse in the world of GoT you don’t get a nice bath without having to give something back. So he will have to pretend to be the Thoen that has died in spirit.
Meereen
Those dragons sure are getting big! YAY! Jesus Christ Dany has a lot of titles, maybe we should just cut it down to the most important. She now has to face the repercussions of her dragons actions and her own. I don’t not blame her for the crucifixion of the masters, but to have her actions questioned, must have been a slap to the face. Hizdahr makes a very good and compelling case, and she agrees to let him bury his father.
King’s Landing
Ah the Small Council! They discuss the impending doom that is Dany. They are starting to take her seriously. Except of coarse for Tywin. Who seems to think that a simple army can defeat 3 dragons. PFFT!
Down in the dungeon, Jaime comes to get Tyrion ready for his trial. The evidence against Tyrion is not promising. Jaime tries to talk to Tywin, tries to speak in Tyrion’s defense. At least he believes in his brother. In the bargain, he gets tricked into leaving the Kings Guard and in return Tyrion gets sent to the Wall. But the Imp is smarter, he remembers that Ned was promised the same thing. The look on his face when Shea walked in, it broke my heart. What was she offered in return for this testimony? And then he flips right out. Cersei pushed just a bit to far. The episode ends with him demanding a trial by combat and everyone but Prince Oberyn looks worried.
Lets be clear the comment section is a spoiler freeish zone. What that means is you can discuss anything that has happened on the TV show thus far. If you have read the books, and you spoil anything for the rest of us. I will hunt you down and make you watch all the Twilight Movies in marathon with no breaks Clockwork Orange style.
