Speaking of alliances, and Dany’s army… well they are all dead, or imprisoned. However, that is not the real story of this episode. I did laugh out loud after Missandei announced all of Dany’s many accomplishments, Sir Davos simply says, “This is Jon Snow,” and pauses to think, “The King of the North.” All around, the scene was game of willpower, but it does seem like an alliance is forming. Luckily, through the clever advice of each of their advisers, Davos and Tyrion, Dany does eventually agree. Snow wants to farm Dragonglass and fight the White Walkers, and Dany and her “army” (more on that later) wish to take King’s Landing. Dany almost immediately asks Jon Snow to bow before her, but he eventually refuses, as they have two much different agendas. Like most of this season so far, we had no buildup, no ocean voyage for Jon Snow to get to Dragonstone, and Jon Snow meets Dany in the opening scene. The showrunners have been dropping enough hints, after all.Disclaimer: There will be spoilers for Season 7 Episode 3 of Game of Thrones. In her final conversation with Jaime, she warns him of the “disease” that Cersei is, telling him, “she’ll be the end of you.” It absolutely plays into the Valonqar theory that Cersei will die at the hands of her little brother, which in all likelihood is Jaime. #GameOfThrones /0SRF8KBMoq- King Jon Snow July 31, 2017 Nobody steals a scene quite like Lady Olenna, even while she’s dying. Lady Olenna is predicting Jaime and Cersei’s mutual destruction. Honest-t0-god, NOBODY give these showrunners a show about slavery, okay?Ĩ. She’s a ruined woman because she was raped. But can we just pause for a minute and talk about how fucking creepy Bran was just then? Not just because he brought up his sister’s rape as some kind of welcome home story, but that by talking about “how pretty” she was that night, he’s kind of implying she’s not pretty, or at least, less pretty now. Bran Stark told his sister Sansa that she looked “so pretty” on the night she was raped. Littlefinger better be getting comeuppance this season or I’ll personally bash the showrunners.ħ.

He might have bragged to Sansa that he’s so goddamn smart he’s already thought out all eventual possibilities for all situations, but only Bran as the Three Eyed Raven can actually managed this. He might be so worried that someone will connect the dots between him and Jon Arryn’s death that he’ll inadvertently reveal something to allow this connection in the first place. Luwin never read the letter (it was sealed when he presented it) but he was in the room to hear its contents.īut Littlefinger doesn’t know that. How long ago is THAT.) However – that letter came by rider, and was immediately burned by Catelyn. It might be that Littlefinger is worried there is a copy of the letter from Lysa Arryn to Catelyn Stark that claims the Lannisters murdered her husband Jon Arryn.

Tyrion has explained his knowledge of Casterly Rock’s pipes and sewers once before. He tells Daenerys that the Lannister army fight for his sister out of fear, but that her army fights for her out of love.Ĥ. Of course, these theme comes up later in the episode, when Tyrion is explaining the machinations of her army’s storming of Casterly Rock. “When your brother Rhaegar led his army into battle at the Trident, men died for him because they believed in him, because they loved him, not because they’d been bought at a slaver’s auction.” That was actually said once before to Daenerys – by Ser Barriston Selmy, about her brother Rhaegar in Season 3. All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him.” He has no birthright, he’s a damn bastard. “He was named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, he was named King in the North. (Honestly: put Davos Seaworth in charge of everything.) Last night, Davos says it about Jon to Daenerys, during that enthralling first meeting. And yes, you’ve heard that quote about people following a leader because “they believed in him” before. Of course, he didn’t quite have the nerve to pull the same trick off to Daenerys. “A wise man once said the true history of the world is the history of great conversations in elegant rooms,” he tells Missandei, standing in an elegant room, of course. Yes, Tyrion has used that ‘quoting himself as a wise old saying’ trick once before.Īnd if you’re trying to place when it happened and to whom, it was to Missandei during last season.
