And Daenerys finally understood that…. Remember, the Dragonglass is for the Night King and White Walkers, not the Wights they command. It’s like, I get you think you’re a badass but I now consider you a moron because you’ve said something so ridiculous and I wonder if that scorn is also partly on the writers or if I’m meant to think this of the Dothraki because the writing these days, it is not GRRM backed.". While there has been no other episode of Game of Thrones as visually dazzling as “The Battle of the Bastards,” it was a clean cut good versus evil fight. He urges her again to work together to fight this ancient evil. And then Jon shows Daenerys a mural from the Children of the Forest that dates back about 10,000 years. ", EY & Citi On The Importance Of Resilience And Innovation, Impact 50: Investors Seeking Profit — And Pushing For Change, Michigan Economic Development Corporation BrandVoice, I've written about how I think Daenerys is a villain before, You can also check in on my Season 7 predictions here. Time to fry in the sky, Bronn. Who do you root for? Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Littlefinger watches the fight as well, and his expression shifts from disbelief to open admiration. Bran then has as cold an exchange with Meera Reed as he does with Petyr. On their cute first date, Jon invites Daenerys to look at all the weaponry they can use on the White Walkers (the Onion Knight is correct about Jon studying her heart). Dickon doesn't seem like a bad guy, but I'm still on Team Sam. Duh. And it now is becoming clear that Mad Queen Cersei will figure just as prominently in the final battles as the Night King. Game of Thrones on 4k looks excellent, and looks like it was going be reference the entire way. That Bronn articulates this demonstrates both a camaraderie and a knowing sense of cynicism on Team Lannister. Daenerys is sick of 'clever plans' and will bathe the world in blood and fire until she sits on the Iron Throne. In any case, Jon is not happy to see the young Greyjoy. … Their friendly duel is the perfect kind of fan service, as Arya has finally mastered Syrio’s Water Dance, and is able to vanquish the Hound’s bane, if even in play. Later, Sansa watches Arya train with Brienne, and there's almost a look of jealousy on her face. I again think that while underlining the chilliness between the Stark sisters, the showrunners forgot to let them both understand it in their hurry for new political machinations to begin in the North. A girl tells the guards that she is Arya Stark, but the guards laugh in her face. In the meantime, it just means Dany must pluck out a flesh wound on Drogon. Always a Lannister, and always the rich guy who moves the goalposts with promises of opportunity, Jaime and Cersei will ever have much in common. That also places the battle on the border of the Reach and the Crownlands, which is relatively a stone’s throw on the map from Dragonstone. Dany’s dragons are game changers. Which is a shame since the boy Arya and Sansa wanted to see is sorely missed, and this entitled “Three-Eyed Raven” brat can “see everything,” except in the selfishness of the lord of the manor allowing his servant to die for him while holding a door. Update 2: A commenter made an observation I want to talk about a bit more in-depth. Bronn running from the Dothraki warrior, then killing him with the ballista, was a welcome moment of comic relief. Sansa hugs her sister, but at least at first, Arya is as despondent to her older sister as she was to Hot Pie. Bran talks a bit more, and while he's still very strange, at least he tries. The dragon---Drogon---could have overwhelmed the Lannister force all on his own. In a matter of months, these fields may be covered in snow, and they spent the whole autumn years fighting. Daenerys is obviously questioning it when she quickly turns on her Hand, even wondering about his allegiances. The best moment is when Littlefinger tries to play the empathy card, telling Bran that it must be difficult to come back to a world in such chaos. Conceding that Jon Snow might have a point about this Ice Zombie business, she promises to help him in his wars if he but bends the knee. It’s inevitable that something is going to snap this season between Jaime and Cersei, and it’s about time. He even gave the young lad a BS sob story about how much he wishes he could have given his life for Catelyn Stark, and how he’s now committed to protecting her children. This means Cersei will be able to repay the Iron Bank and the Lannisters will get to keep using their unofficial slogan. But even now, it’s a decision that Tyrion is uneasy about. Of course, he notices her Valyrian steel dagger. You can find We also didn't see the show's funniest bad guy, Euron, and that's a bit of a shame.
